1. Hey there! My name is Marceline. I'm an artist and animator. I went to Art Center to learn fundamentals. I've loved video games since I was a kid, so I'm excited to learn how to make them!
2. This is my first game jam. I've heard of them before but they sounded kinda intimidating (the ones where you only have a few days for example), but this one sounds beginner friendly. So, I wanted to give it a shot!
3. I LOVE story heavy games, I was a bookworm as a kid that's probably where it comes from. Games I enjoyed and find inspiration from are Undertale, Night in the Woods, Sally Face, Little Nightmares, Bear and Breakfast, Yakuza 0, Dream Daddy, Monster Camp, and so on.
4. In terms of game development experience, I am a mere child. However, I've been learning to use Ren'py and have been enjoying learning how to code. But I'm also curious on learning how to use Godot or Game Maker. And I've been working on making an outdoorsy game, similar to Bear and Breakfast and Monster Camp. I'll be making a new, more simple game for the game jam though.
5. I'm not exactly sure what kind of game I'd like to create yet. I'm still brainstorming. I do know I'd like to keep it simple, keep it silly like Yakuza or Monster Camp, have some fun artwork. I want to learn how to program some fun simple minigames. I'd also love to meet other game devs (Secret: I think composers and coders are very cool, meeting another artist would also be lovely :3)! Possibly work on a team.
