1. Hi there, better late than never! My name is Greta and I'm a recent comp sci graduate.
2. No, I haven't. This is my first game jam!
3. I really love grand strategy games like Civilization, or strategy rpg like Fire Emblem. I've made my attempts with grand strategy and only got as far as generating random maps. It's daunting!
4. Some, but definitely limited. Beyond simple stuff made with the program Alice when I was younger, I've done a hackathon focused on game dev with friends, a year-long school project to mixed results, and a little phone game with a friend as a summer project which we never released. So I'm hoping to learn more! All the previous were done in Unity so that's what I will be using.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Aside from games, I really love birds and birding. My dream job would be contributing to bird conservation with my training in computer science.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
Most of the games I've worked on have been pretty static, I would like to be able to program in some randomness and enemy AI if possible. I think it would be really interesting to learn. I also really like art so I'd like to have fun learning to make some cool-looking sprites (2D games for life!).
