Well, hello everyone !
1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
My name is Charles, I'm also known as Tchaly by my mates, haha.
2. [...] What's your reason for joining?
Mmmh I like to dev games and of course to play some (I like my standard games and can be really exigeant on modern games in term of game play, graphism, effects and whats the most important for me is the fun to play). I always tried to dev games cause I like this idea of tell a story or make a concept we could have fun with. I recently is really active (since 2020) I've made a few prototype 3D and 2D on different plateform like a Tetris (with pygame), a Puyo with Bittyengine, some GBA games (thanks to BPCoreEngine), I then followed course on Udemy to be introduced to Unity which is reaaaaally convenient and fun to dev with. My reason to participate is to produce a game (in a team, or not) and well, maybe stay in the community for a while ?
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
I played many games, they all of them inspire me of what I want to make (what I like to play) and what I don't want. I'm a big fan of RPG principle, Final fantasy was my furst crush, but what definitively stay is Ragnarok Online and Dofus. :)
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
Mmh as I mention in 2. I have some experience, in coding and in game making, as a hobby. To summer up : PyGame, BittyEngine, BPCoreEngine, Unity. I did an arena game in 3D with PUN (Photon Unity Network) as my first prototype, some idea (5 classes with at least 3 skills each), but had some trouble with RPCs calls (I hadn't mastered the "host/server authoritative" principle, I think I know now). Then I tried a 2D arena game like TowerFall Ascension (but with Warrior Healer class and a system of teams Red/Blue). I failed for the same reason. So I take a few course about PUN, and those course made me do my first multiplayer game in 2D (Topdown), i tested a lot of stuff for fun and tried to make it a game, haha ! To take a rest I tried a dev kit for making 2D/3D game. It was fun.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I like dev games listening music, hanging on assets store gives me idea (epic musics, new or reworked cartoon or other assets is really really gives me the idea to make it alive). I mostly like to code and tell / make little stories. And, it is not a surprise but I like playing video games haha.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
Most of all : have fun. Alone or in a group. And maybe exchanging with others in the community (helping or being helped ?) :)
Thanks for reading me and for making this event,
Let's Jam !
