Jammers
Hi, I'm Courtney (she/her). I'm currently in my third year at Massey University, pursuing a degree in Screen Arts with a focus on game design. I have a passion for programming and I love using that passion to (virtually) bring peoples ideas to life. This is my first game jam and I am really excited to participate and see what we can create!
Role: Lead Programmer
I’m Skye (they/them) a concept design postgrad from Massey University. I am an artist by trade, having pivoted from Fine Arts into Illustration into Design. I have a long-standing obsession for games as well as storytelling, and this is my...third game jam? I'm a Singaporean living in Wellington for a year now, I'm always looking for opportunities to connect with more people, especially if it involves creating something cool together. https://linktr.ee/skyemakesart
Role: Art Lead and Game Design
Hello! I am Haley (she/her). I have a B.Sc. in Game Design from Full Sail and am currently working on my master's through the same uni. I have a wide range of knowledge, from programming (C#) to level design to production and more. My main goal in the PowerUp! Jam is to increase the depth of knowledge that I have and submit a game that I can show off and say "hey, look at this. I helped make this." This jam is my first and I am so excited to be working with a team this varied! If you would like to see my portfolio, look here: https://haleykirsten1994.wixsite.com/portfolio
