1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi! My name is Kim, but I mostly go by Destry online. I went to school for Illustration and some Animation, but I've been stagnating a lot in the couple of years since I graduated, so I'm trying to get back into making things! I'm most passionate about making games, but I have little experience so far.
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 did! The game that I made for the last game (Xylia's Curse) ended up being very rough and kind of incomplete, so I want to try making something even simpler and with a clear, small scope. I'm hoping to do something mostly text based this time, to save on time. Maybe a kind of interactive short story with a few illustrations?
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I like all kinds of games! But lately, I have been very inspired by games that try to take atypical approaches. (Especially the more recent trends towards non-violent games or games where you interact with the world in unique ways.)
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Very little, mostly in GameMaker. I've played around with making a couple little games, but nothing yet that I think of as a real complete project. For this jam though, I'm going to try using Unity for the first time! I've been taking some intro courses on it recently, and haven't gotten far into them yet, which is why I want to aim for something simple and text-based.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Art! Also, animals/plants are very important to me!
