1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Heyo! Totally forgot to introduce myself, so here we are ^_^''' My name is Limboneto, you can call me Limbo, Ansley, Ans, or whatever suits your fancy. I'm a Canadian artist/game maker, although I'm by no means a pro
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?
Yes I did! I'm getting out of my comfort zone slightly and trying a new engine I've never used until now, GameMaker. Hopefully I can get a decent game working!
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I have so many favourites. I'm a huge fan of The Legend of Zelda series, Pokemon, Portal, Tales of series, Fantasy RPGs in general, RPG Horror games such as Ib, The Witch's House, Mad Father, Misao, etc. I also love various Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing-type games, and plan on making 1 or 2 (though maybe not for this jam ^_^') As of late, Undertale and Grim Fandango have been my obsessions!
And yes, most if not all of these have been huge inspirations for me, and quite possibly elements from all of these might go into my newest project!
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
A little! I normally use RPG Maker VX Ace and MV, and have been playing around with them for a few years now!
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
My OCs and their stories! I have over 100+ OCs for 1 world/story alone out of a possible 4-5, and I absolutely love drawing, writing, and talking about them! I'm always up for telling people about them and for hearing feedback and ideas to help me out!
6. Any advice to new jammers (if you're a veteran)?
Have fun with it! Don't worry, and don't sweat it! Have little stepping stones set out for you along the way (ex: make player sprite, then have them walk around in the environment, have some water and/or a snack, make character interact with something, etc. etc.) and don't be afraid to reach out to fellow jammers for help or just to chill and talk with, I failed to do that last round and I missed out on some stuff ^_^'''
