1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hello! My name is Caleb, and I have ambitions of working in the games industry in the near future.
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?
If it was the summer one, then yes I did! It was a great experience. However the one thing I will do better this time is spend more time on my project (within the time that is allowed), I will also try to produce a better polished product (if possible, but I will aim for that!)
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
Animsl Crossing is my all time favourite game. I also love Halo , Pokemon, Harvest Moon, Sonic and Mario Kart! These games alone didn't inspire me to make games, but they definitely contributed to that (except for Sonic and Halo, they really inspire me)
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I currently use GameMaker Studio 2, but I am currently learning how to use other engines such as Godot (and maybe Unity/UE4). However I use GMS2 for game jams due to the ease of use and its ability to let me create 2D prototypes and tests quickly.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
Space, gotta love space, and history. And obviously video games.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
To produce another game and make something different to my last entry for 'My First Game Jam' (and to try some form of basic sprite animation if possible.)
For returning jammers:
7. Any advice to new participants?
Use your time effectively and don't rush it!
8. What can the admins do to improve your jam experience?
Not sure, the experience was very good last time.
9. What are some of the past works you've made for the jam? Show off your favorites!
Pebblet - This was my entry into 'My First Game Jam' (Summer 2018). You play as a drop of water, and dodge pebbles to survive (very basic game and my first entry into any game jam).
'Present' Arms! - This was my entry into the last 'Extra Credits Game Jam' (#2 I believe?). You present arms to a present so he can present arms! (the theme was 'Present', see where I'm going with this?) Or face off against a friend in the two player shooter minigame!
That's all from me, Good luck with the jam everyone (I am late to the party, about 3 days late lol).
