1. Hi there! What's your name? Want to introduce yourself?
Hi my name is Logan, I am currently a Junior in high school. I love playing the guitar and enjoying the snow in winter. I started learning to make games a few years ago but never really did anything. I was always playing video games instead of making them. I just released my first game just last summer on the App Store. The game is called Sqwared and can be downloaded for the iPhone and iPad (iPad version doesn't really work). I never got the game to work perfectly on all resolutions, but it was more for the experience of putting a game on the market.
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 love making games however I often find myself getting distracted with other things and never finish the project. I'm hoping that by entering a Jam that I will focus more and be able to get the project done. I also love challenges.
3. What games are your favorites? Did any of them inspire you, or made you want to make your own?
My most favorite game series of all time is hands down the Jak and Daxter series. My brother first introduced me to this series a while ago and fell in love with it. The story of the games were so amazing, the relationships you build with the characters in the game and the incredible plot twists that unfold later in the series were and still are some of the best I have ever seen and experienced in a game. Anyhow I remember thinking one day that "If I love playing games so much, why don,t I make one myself?" So I started learning to program and and make some art and a few years later hear I am entering my first game jam.
4. Do you have experience with game development? What did you do/with what engine?
I currently use Unity as an engine for making games. I have taught myself various programming languages, however I mainly use C# when using unity.
5. Tell us about something you're passionate about!
I love playing video games, playing the guitar, and skiing.
6. Any advice to new jammers (if you're a veteran)?
This will be my first game jam, I am super excited and can't wait to get started.
