1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hello, I'm Alexandra (you can call me Alex, or Azurite if you want though). I've been talking in the Discord chat but I never properly introduced myself here. I'm currently studying Japanese in college, and I like to draw in my free time. If you'd like, you can check out my art here. You can also find it on my twitter, where I've been posting my art for the jam.
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?
Originally my boyfriend and I planned to participate in this jam last year, but we found we didn't have the time. We've been wanting to collaborate on making a game for a long time now so when I saw that the jam was happening again, I really wanted to join!
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
My favorite games are Paper Mario 64 and TTYD, Okami, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Legend of Zelda (Majoras Mask and Twilight Princess are my favorites), Super Mario Sunshine, Persona 3, TWEWY, Katamari, Monster Hunter, and recently Hyper Light Drifter and Undertale. They all inspire me in certain ways which I could probably talk about for hours if given the chance.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Not at all! I'm not even the one doing the coding for this project, haha...I'm collaborating with StumpCricket for this jam! I'm just doing the art for it, but in the future I hope to mess around with gamemaker and other programs on my own.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I'm really passionate about art, and I hope to one day make a webcomic when I have the time to do so. I love video games too of course, and I take a lot of inspiration from them. I really look forward to sharing my own ideas and stories in the future, whether that be through making comics, games, or music.
