I haven't participated in any game jam yet. My first one is geojam. I want to keep taking part in jams though. So I want to make this my second one after.
I love games where I can create and explore, like Minecraft and City Skylines. I like interactive story experiences like Detroit and What Remains of Edith Finch. I get inspired by city builders the most, and I have always wanted to make one. (A good one that is).
I've dabbled in making my own games for a long time, both analog and digital. I focused on analog a lot though, and made a few interesting board games. I've also run D&D homebrews on and off throughout my life, with the best one lasting about 3 years. Digitally, I have only made crude little games. I have worked with Unity, Godot, max2d, flash( back in the day), twine and Unreal Engine 5. Unreal and Unity are my preferred engines.
I love worldbuilding! I like drawing maps, and making up words and cultures, and filling a world in with history and people. I adored presenting all the things I made in an interactive environment (with d&d). Somewhat related, is that I like filling my noggin with new ideas. Every new idea becomes a tool I can use later when putting a world together.
This is somewhat implied: I want to make a game and put it out there. I want to experience all the things that come with it for myself as well. I want to put myself al little bit out there as well (like posting this, for instance)
Very much looking forward to this event and the things I'm gonna learn from it.
