1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
hi! i'm lily. nice to meet everyone!
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 not participate - this will be my first jam. i've always been interested in making games, especially rpgmaker and visual novels (kinetic and dating sims) but i always felt scared to do it. i figured if i joined a jam, maybe a deadline will finally get me started on my indie game career. :3
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
hmm, i've been an avid fan of pokemon and ace attorney but i'm also starting like rpgmaker games. my favorites include mad father and corpse party!
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
i wouldn't say that i have but i like to tinker around with rpgmaker (2k3, xp, vx ace) and ren'py. all i've done is create maps and just stared at it hoping it'll finish on its own... and ren'py stories tend to get over complicated with me except, hopefully, this time.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
i love writing so much! there's a reason why people like certain games (like ace attorney for example) and i really want to tell my stories through multiple formats! i'm also a big fan of game music - i would like to create my own music one day but one step at a time...
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
i really want to start something fresh and new - and actually finish something. as in, there's a beginning, middle and end.
7. Any advice to new jammers (if you're a veteran)?
even though i'm a newbie, one thing that always tripped me up was the fact i over complicate things. please keep things simple! make life easier on yourself...
