1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hey! I go online by the name Rad, or Radicalest.
2. Did you participate in the last jam we held? If so, what do you plan on doing better this time? If not, what's your reason for joining?
I have not participated in any game jams before and decided this game jam would be perfect as the name is My First Game Jam.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
My favorite games include Terraria, Minecraft, Undertale, Telltale's Walking Dead Season 1, Factorio, Stardew Valley, Fallout New Vegas, Portal 1 & 2, Pokémon Fire Red. However, the one that originally sparked my interest in game development was Undertale as tobyfox wasn't a game developer before Undertale, and as many of the others were started by one or two people it made me realize that I could make a game too.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Yes. I attempted to make a game in Java but didn't get far, so I tried out Gamemaker: Studio and have finished two games in it already. Those two games are terrible and small, so I'm using this jam as an attempt to make a larger and better game.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I am passionate about Game Development, and playing video games. I am also passionate about engineering. I'm just started getting into engineering so I don't know much about the different types of engineering and all the technical terms.
6. Any advice to new jammers (if you're a veteran)?
I am not a veteran, but I can tell new jammers to not start thinking big with their ideas, and to start small. Also have a rough plan of what you're going to do, but remember it's a rough plan and nothing in it is final. The rough plan is just so you're not scrambling on what to do.
