1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hello! My name's Steven and this is my first real game jam. I've always had a passion for all gaming and play. From a lifetime of playing, I think of video games as the culmination of so many art forms that makes it one of the most amazing forms of expression and entertainment.
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 have signed up for one other jam in the past, but my project just completely fell apart. I told myself I wouldn't sign up for another jam unless I was determined to finish it, and here I am. Thats what I plan on improving, lol.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
So many... What first comes to mind today would be Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, Legend of Zelda, Virtual Battle Space, and most all of the popular games released on all consoles throughout all time. I've always had a taste for everything, and that applies to video games as well.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I've done tutorials and made little things (never a full game) on a few engines. Construct 2, GameMaker Studio 1, Unreal Engine, and Unity. I've been at community college for too long, studying programming (C++), and have chosen Unity over Unreal as the workflow works with my way of thinking, and I've come to enjoy coding in C#.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Video games of course! I also put a lot of importance on good design, not just in games, and think every game should be fun to play. Most of all, co-operative experiences, gaming with friends, intense emotions like tension and hilarity, that's what I want to bring more of to the world. Nothing better than a great co-op game with some good friends!
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
Make a complete experience, learn a few key aspects of the Unity game engine, and get a better idea of what it truly takes to make a complete project.
If you read this, thanks for taking the time to. This is my first time out in the wild wild west talking about my passions online. Good luck to everyone!!!
