1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi, my name is Bryan. I’m 20 and I’m from Uruguay. I like drawing a lot and modeling in 3D.
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?
This is my first time in a game jam. I joined this time because I spent the last years learning some basics by myself, but i would like to learn more and i would like to learn how to work with a team.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
Last year I finally played Persona 5 and made me fall in love with it’s art and the jrpg genre. Now I’m playing persona 3 and that inspired me for a personal project but it’s in early stages. Other games I love, The Legend of Zelda Breath Of The Wild is perfect to represent a world full of life that I can create. I love creating worlds full of interesting characters with all the posible details covered, other games in general that I love are Batman Arkham Saga, Crysis (crysis 3 was my favorite of all), Mirror's Edge (I really like parkour and this game made it feel very realistic), Uncharted (I have various OCs that have a funny way of being like Nathan Drake), this is not a game but Spiderman Into The Spiderverse was perfect showing an art style I would love to make for a game.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I studied Videogame Design 2 years ago and learn very basic stuff in Unity but I learned a lot about 3DsMax. The last 2 years I learned about Unreal and blueprints and made very basic stuff. I learned the basics of Zbrush and now I’m learning Blender from a book I bought this year. I use Clip Studio Paint to draw in digital and I really like drawing traditionally.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I love comic aesthetics in a game, I’m very passionate about cel shading lately but I didn’t have time to learn how to make it. I have lots of stories for games I want to do in my life already written but I don’t have the experience I need to make them come true. So my goal from this year is to get involved in more game jams to learn how to work in a team to create something so one day I can create my own videogame studio.
6. What are your goals for this game jam?
I already know the feeling of aiming too high and getting disappointed at the end for not reaching my goals. So I want to be realistic and go step by step but giving my 120% into whatever I’m doing.
