1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hello, my name is Mal and I'm a 22 year old digital artist. I also make music as a hobby.
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?
I have not participated in any prior jams. I was considering on joining the last one, but unfortunately I got really sick that time. My reason for joining is that I've always wanted to make a game, I just hadn't found the opportunity until now.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I like Pokemon, the Soulsborne series', Kingdom Hearts, the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Undertale, and many others. Most of these have inspired me because I've been playing video games since childhood, and they are a big influence in my life.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I've been studying videos of game development on YouTube. I've also been trying to learn how to use Unity. I've had slow success because I'm in college, but I've gathered some knowledge at least.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I'm very passionate about character design and music. I've been doing both seriously since I turned 15.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I aim to make a top-down rpg demo. I also aim to learn and have fun with the experience.
