1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hello! My name is Justin and I am one of the two members of FeckUGames, a "studio" ran by my girlfriend (screen name: Roisy) and me! We are quite new to game development, and slightly experienced in the programming aspect (Roisy being far more experienced than me). We have big ideas for upcoming projects, but we decided to start small with this game, titled: Kiiel: Shirt Over Head. The game's premise is based off of an inside joke with a mutual friend of ours. We're excited to share our work with everyone! We've spent multiple all nighters working on it and we still have some more to go. I can speak for the both of us when I say that we are incredibly proud of what we have achieved and learned so far, and we truly hope at least a few people can find some enjoyment out of our product once finished.
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?
We did not participate in the last jam as we've only decided to officially get to work on developing very recently. We hope to take part in many game jams after this though!
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
My favourites:
I've always been more of a fan of AAA titles like Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout, COD, Halo, Dark Souls, etc... However, I love the charm of indie games like Stardew Valley, Game Dev Tycoon, The Long Dark, Unrailed, etc... I'd say watching Brackey's game jam videos on youtube is mostly what inspired me to pick up game development.
Roisy's favourites:
"Minecraft? I don't know. I like a lot of indie games! Undertale and Stardew Valley are probably my biggest influences coming into game development."
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Both of us have very little experience with game development. We've only ever messed around with one other project that we never got off the ground (we still intend to finish it!). All of our work has been done on Unity and we have no experience with other engines.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Both of us are very passionate about making something we're proud of. We have big, ambitious goals and we cannot wait to one day complete them.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
Our goals for this jam are to complete our first game and get somewhat comfortable with using unity. It has been going extremely well so far and we've made tons of progress getting our feet through the door into the amazingly creative world of game development.
