1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi! I'm Nic. I'm currently a university student with dreams of being a game design someday!!
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 did! I didn't end up submitting a game, though. This time I'm going to try to actually submit a game.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I really love the Dark Souls-es and Undertale because of their themes about friendships/relationships. I also really love games like Hotline Miami and 30 Flights of Loving for how stylish they are (and how wonderful their soundtracks are!)
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I am an expert at half finishing games! I have about 4-5 unfinished projects on all sorts of engines - Unity, LÖVElua, Gamemaker, Stencyl, etc.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Uh, Videogames, of course! Also loving your friends and tipping your waiters!
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I get hung up a lot on worrying that whatever I'm working is "not good enough". I want to just make something and publish and have some people play it for once!
7. Any advice to new jammers (if you're a veteran)?
Here's one: buy some pens and a notebook! Pen-and-paper game design ahead of time will save you a bunch of headaches in the "what-direction-do-I-take-this" department down the road! ALSO! Don't worry too much if your game is good or bad! Those are subjective categories! Just make something and get it out there!!
