1. Greetings, folks. My name is Asher. I am a legal professional by day and writer/indie dev by night!
2. This is my first jam ever!
3. I think Shadow of the Colossus is my biggest influence. But also the game that made me realize I could do this is Ratchet and Clank...however I chose to pursue the legal field instead as an adult. I have some experience in the indie author space under a different pseudonym. But also, speaking of books, they are an influence as well.
4. I've gotten decently far in the Unity learning pathways. I'm experimenting with learning Unreal right now. I've done little practice games but not much.
5. Gaming (duh), reading (my favorite book is Howl's Moving castle and its sequels. But also the Dune series (I haven't read past Chapterhouse....).
6. To complete a game with a viable game loop. I am probably going to go with Unity but I'm also going to see how much I can speed run learning Unreal until the jam starts cause I would love to try and move forward with that.
