1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
hi!! my name is aisha, but some opt to call me by my username, verbalchemy/verbal^^
2. Did you participate in the last jam we held? If so, what do you plan on doing better this time? If not, what's your reason for joining?
yep!! it was the first jam i've ever joined :)) i plan on creating a more polished game. last time, i wasn't able to figure out how to add music and i really rushed my work! but hopefully i could manage my time better now!
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
one of my favorite games are usually horror which is weird because i can't play scary games TT the death mark series, faith, and ace attorney are the few games that are pretty up there for me! definitely, death mark's amazing art and lore made me want to learn how to create games like that! recently, i've gotten into ace attorney and i can say i 'm really into dialogue-based(?) games !!
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
i've only used renpy so far! last game jam i used visual studio code and had a pretty basic code TT i hope to maybe use gamemaker or adventure game studio ?? this time around (my mac is super old and dusty it's on its deathbed!)
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
well first and foremost i'm really an artist ^^ i joined last game jam to put more art stuff in my portfolio however in the process of doing so, i really enjoyed hearing what my friends and other people who were kind enough to play my game had to say!! i guess i love making stuff in general, and having people enjoy that is a big plus!
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
for one, figure out gamemaker! or if i settle on a different engine, i'd like to learn that! second, just create something that i'd enjoy playing. and third, add music to my game TT and hopefully finish it!
For returning jammers:
7. Any advice to new participants?
i guess it depends whether you're in the game jam for experience or to really create a game. because if you're here wanting to create a game, then make sure to have great time management TT and don't be afraid to reach out for help from other jammers ^^ all in all, take your time learning and it's okay to make mistakes !!
8. What can the admins do to improve your jam experience?
last game jam, i didn't really encounter any problems ! kudos to the admin staff for creating a good experience for newcomers,, i was super shy at the time and i super appreciated it!
9. What are some of the past works you've made for the jam? Show off your favorites!
i've only made one game so far for this jam (and in general TT), and it's called suffocating !
10. Got any question suggestions? Let us know for next year!
none at the moment! ! excited to see the games created this time and super excited for the theme!
