1. Hi everybody! I'm David. I'm a comic book writer from Italy but in the last few years I've been flirting with game making so here I am!
2. I never participated in a Game Jam but always thought they were a cool way to encourage creativity! I've been creatively slow lately for personal reasons, so I thought this could be a change to give myself a deadline on a small project.
3. I like many kinds of games but my faves tend to be puzzle oriented. I like straight up puzzle solving like Portal 2 or strategic turn based combat like Invisible Inc or Dicey Dungeons.
4. I've created a few physical card games and board games as a hobby. As far as videogames go, I taught myself Ren'py (and Python) and recently started a Unity project with a friend. As of now I've never really completed a game aside from a few really clunky test projects. I'd like to get more into game development as I think I could be decent at it.
5. I'm really passionate about mental health awareness and stories/games that make you think and introspect while also being fun. I believe stories and games can really affect people in positive ways and I'd like to be part of that with my comics as well as with my games.
6. I want to make a Deck Building Turn Based conversation simulator. I will decide what it'll be about when the theme drops.I have a rough Idea of how I could pull that off in Ren'py. I'm not expecting it to be very pretty or polished as I have a dayjob which will prevent me from really giving it my all, but I want to honor the deadline with a playable and completable game.
Good luck everyone and remember that we're here to better ourselves. Even starting a project or getting ideas for one will be a successful experience.
