6. Something cool and motivational for others :)
"Drops wear down the stone, not by strength but by constant falling."
I read that in a music composition book, and for me it means: a little bit of work consistently can go a long way. Don't give up if you can't dedicate full time to this thing, instead utilize every moment you have even it's only 1 hour a day, it can go a long way !

2. What's your reason to be here?
I've never developed a game before (I have no training in programming, art, or game design, though I'm doing them all...:)), but I started messing around with Defold back in January, learning the basics. Stumbled upon this jam the very day I started a new project in Defold, and figured a deadline would give me motivation to actually finish something.
3. Your favorite games
Chrono Trigger, early Castlevania games, any NES/SNES era platformer.
4. Favorite engines and tools
I tried Unity a couple years ago, didn't get anywhere with it. Other than that I'm really digging Defold, graphics via Gimp, and audio in Logic X with a smattering of plugins.
5. What do you want to make in this jam's game the most?)
I just want to actually finish something, and also learn more about Lua/Defold for the main game I've been working on with my brother. So far, so good.
6. Something cool and motivational for others
Not much of a motivational speaker, but in just a few days, with no programming experience, I've already got what could pass for "a game," so anyone out there thinking of joining, do it.
