1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi, I'm Jayesh. I've been a software dev for a long time, but only recently I decided to take game dev seriously. "Fold Wars" is my first game that I developed for others to play. It's a 2D Tower Defense game. I want to experiment with art style and music, to make this an interesting strategy game. It's still in early stages of development, but it's playable on itch.
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, missed that one. Only recently became active on itch.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
My first favorite was "Age of Empires". Then StarCraft. I also have favorites in other genre - Bioshock Infinite, Dirt Rally, Braid, Limbo, Inside
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Not exactly. I've lot of experience with programming and also in graphics programming (both 2D and 3D). But games are more than programming. I haven't been confident enough with my artistic abilities to venture into game development ... that is until now!
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Dreaming about new possibilities with my software projects.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
Meet other newbie game devs like me. Get feedback from people on my game.
7. Any advice to new jammers (if you're a veteran)?
I'm new myself!
8. If you're a returning jammer, what can the admins do to improve your jam experience?
Thanks for organizing.
