Hello! My name is Luka, and I'm a 20-year-old college student. I'm joining this jam for the first time, because I liked the vibe of it and want to work on my first game without having to feel bad about being a beginner.
I love visual novels. The format can be made easily accessible for folks with disabilities, and they don't require much time and effort to play for folks who don't have the time/capacity to invest into playing games. Currently, my favorite visual novels are We Know the Devil and Heaven Will Be Mine. Both have brought me to the verge of tears. As a queer and trans person, I never felt so seen in a game as those two. That's why I want to make queer games for queer people.
I have some experience with Unity, but all I've created were prototypes to test out coding with C#. I hope to learn to use Fungus with Unity this time around.
Drawing and painting are my jam, but I'm not that good at either. I also like to code and design websites and user interfaces. My academic goal is to transfer to a university soon to study something along the lines of Multimedia Design. A dream career of mine is one where I help create queer narratives in media by queer folks and for queer folks.
My goals for this jam are to get comfortable with Unity and create a game prototype within the time restraints. I can't wait to get started tomorrow!!
