1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi! Homuncolo here, but you can call me Lorenzo too if you prefer. I'm an Italian university student, and I'll be teaming up with Scuqualo (you can find his own post a couple messages above this one).
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?
Nope! I did not participate in any jams prior to this one. I decided to join since it seemed to me like a great opportunity to delve into game making and designing, two things I really love, but sadly never managed to pick up as something more than a small hobby. University is gonna get in the way this time too, but I hope we'll make do with the time we have!
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
Oh, boy. It's uh... Tough. When it comes to videogames, I loved "American McGee's Alice", "The Witcher III: Wild Hunt", Silent Hill games and "The Town of Light", but there are a good bunch I'm skipping on. When it comes to a different medium, though, I really enjoy playing Magic: The Gathering and 7Wonders.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I dabbled a bit with RPGMaker VX Ace and with Game Maker Studio 1.4, but never actually published nor completed any game. With the rest of the team, we'll be picking up Game Maker Studio 2.0.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Character interactions! That's something that always floated my boat when it comes to games of any kind, and not only in games.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I'd love to be able to create a small, simple game I can be happy about, and see how much I can learn in the process!
