So, I'm just going to jump in here and say Hi :D
1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hey there, I'm Jenny, 29 years old and just to get it out of the way: English is not my native language, so I apologise for any mistakes in advance ^^
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?
Nope, I didn't participate in the last jam. Actually, this will be my first jam ever, so I'm pretty hyped :)
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I have a ton of games I like. I wanted to make games since I was very young but never did. I want to get more serious which is why I joined this jam.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Well, I done some little things in RPG Maker but I wouldn't call those things real game development experience. I recently started fiddling around with Blender, Unity and Unreal Engine. But I'm still at the very beginning with these engines though.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I'm passionate about various nerdy things. I like writing my own stories, drawing (anime style as well as my "own" style), pen & paper roleplay as well as LARP. I'm a trained designer and am doing a second apprenticeship as a programmer right now (only in second year now).
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I want to finally finish a game and learn a thing or two in the process. Maybe it will be the kickstart for my game developing career.
