1. Yo yo yo I'm Everett but Ev is the easiest way to type that.
2. I've attempted many times to do this jam (since the first one actually) because I want to complete it so badly....... but I'm a dingus and never pull through...... I've been really good about putting out projects that reached the initial planned idea this year so!! I think I can do it!!
3. God okay I love Bioware games. Like, so much. Storytelling is so important to me in games and they do it really well (albeit sometimes not consistently). Some of my faves are Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2. I also play Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and generic fantasy farming sims (Stardew/ Harvest Moon). I got into the RPGmaker games when I was 15 and those really inspired me to want to make my own games when I realized there was a WHOLE engine dedicated to that.
4. I've messed around in both RPGmaker 2003/VXAce and in Clickteam Fusion. I've attempted to make 3D models in maya and it looked fine until I fully rendered it and then it turned into spaghetti. One time I looked at Unity and cried... Needless to say I have a Lot of learning to do.
5. I like plants, fun socks, and bees like any generic hipster out there. I'm passionate about dogs, birds, and lizards (all animals are important tho). Space is great, but so is the ocean, and one time I did a project on how we have explored the same amount of space as we have the ocean.
In relation to the actual jam I'm passionate about drawing and character establishment, making characters seem lifelike and realistic is vital to a good game for me.
