1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi, my name is Rugiku but I’ve been known as Ruru.
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?
Not last jam but many jams ago did I participate and actually submit something! The time after that, I participated but ended up not having enough time to actually knuckle down and do any work. Compounded with me trying to do everything by myself as a test of skill, I predictably kinda fell off the wagon, so I wanna do better this time and set some proper achievable goals.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I’ve gained a love of games that break the 4th wall a bit! Oneshot is a game that I remember fondly. I also really love story-rich games with nice visuals and music so some favourites of mine are Pyre by Supergiant Games and Hyper Light Drifter by Heart Machine.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I actually did a bit of study into game dev where I learned how to model environments and levels in Unity. I also did my own research into easy-to-learn engines like Ren’py and Bitsy.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Unconventional romance novels and plant care.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
Build and write a complete working introduction to a visual novel. Expand routes when possible.
7. Any advice to new participants?
Plan your time well and understand your limits even in the generous time frame.
8. What can the admins do to improve your jam experience?
Please let us know via email if there’s an extension for submissions before the deadline please (´∀｀)ゞ
9. What are some of the past works you've made for the jam? Show off your favorites!
I did so with a friend and we made Amoris Flores which is a plant dating sim with puns and plot(?).
10. Bonus: Got any question suggestions? Let us know for next year!
Sorry, can’t think of anything or
