Hello everybody my name is Abderrahi, I'm a computer games application development graduate, class of 2021, trying to get better at participating in game jams. I figured this is as good a time as any to get serious about this so here I am 😅
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 This is the first time that I have joined MFGJ, the only other game jam that I participated in was the Global Game Jam back in January 2021
What games are your favourites? Did any of them inspire you, or make you want to make your own? I have some favourites that I grew up in mostly adventure story-driven games the likes of Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank, but I also like FPS games a lot, in terms of role-playing, I've only played action RPG games think the Witcher and Fallout 4.
Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine? While I was in university I got to dip my feet into Unity and Unreal, but I'd call myself somewhere between a beginner and an intermediate level, unfortunately, I've never been able to get really confident around making all the subsystems work seamlessly
Tell us about something you're passionate about! Well, I like games in general, and I'd love to be part of the game-making industry, the road to becoming a professional game developer is a long and difficult one but I'm not discouraged by it. I got my degree 2 years ago and I'm certainly not gonna stop here. Other than this I really like music and playing instruments. I'm still trying to learn music theory and guitar playing even though I've been playing for 3, going 4 years now
What are your goals for this game jam? To actually see a small project to competition, whenever I try to start a new one, I'm incapable of organizing my time and prioritizing tasks to the point where I start working on the art assets without having even a clear idea of what game I'm trying to make, which inevitably ends up in having a beautiful looking map but with nothing in it... 😟
Hopefully, I'll be able to do at least finish one game jam... This is the goal that I'm trying to achieve with this. I gonna be doing this on my own cause of social anxiety, but once I get confident enough I'm planning on looking for other team members to also get better at team working
