1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi, I'm PandaIzumim but just call me Izumi. Panda's fine too I guess.
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?
I'm joining because I really need to sit down and just make a game no matter how small it is.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I tend to like RPGs, The Final Fantasy games are some of my favorites, particularly 12, 6, and 8. I also play a lot of Stardew Valley and enjoys games like it and Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons. Final fantasy is definitely what made me want to make games though.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I used to mess around with an engine called RPG Toolkit but but I think It's pretty dead now. I've also played around with C++/SDL2 for a bit. I tinkered with Godot for a bit but the engine wasn't for me. Recently I bought RPG Maker VX Ace when it was last on Humble Bundle and did a few tutorials but haven't played with it much aside that. For the past few weeks though I've been learning Cocos Creator and have been enjoying it.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Honestly art. I love to draw even thought I don't do it as much as I should.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
For this jam I want to get more comfortable with Cocos Creator and JavaScript RPG Maker VX Ace, maybe figure out pixel art. But really I just want to finish a nice small game.
