1. Hello! I'm Naz, but I go by Hiraja online. I'm currently in college in a game dev related major.
2. I didn't attend the last jam. In truth I didn't even know about this jam until recently. The atmosphere here is fun and inviting, which is one of the main reasons I wanted to join. I also want to create something to add to my portfolio.
3. My favorite games span all sorts of genres. I love S4 League, Borderlands, Transistor, World of Warships, Overwatch, Duelyst, Hyper Light Drifter, and Skyrim. Yea, I'm all over the place x). S4 League stands as my one true inspiration. It was so good before it got taken over by hackers :/
4. I have experience with game development. I'm in that weird middle ground where I'm not a beginner and I'm not a veteran.If veterans were level 100... I'd say I'm level 30 or 40? Some of the engines & languages I use are Unity, GameMaker, Processing, Java, and JavaScript.
5. I LOVE to design. Getting the core concepts and theories down, then improving them. I'm also really good at coding and can do some art (I made my avatar :P).
6. I've only done a few jams before, but I can offer two extremely important pieces of advice:
a) "It's dangerous to go alone". and unnecessary. Find a friend or someone from a forum to join you. Find two (or more)! A jam is much more enjoyable with friends.
b) Beware of scope creep! Write down your idea, list the essentials of it from must-have to it-would-be-nice, boil that down some more, then make the game. Start from the topmost necessary parts, and work your way down.
Let's make games and have fun! <3
