Hey, I want to participate but not by myself

Been programming and drawing and all that forever, so I kind of know every part of game making but am not super experienced in game making.

Engine / specifics I don't really care, it's about fun

Anyone? 

Hi there! First off, I hope you find the right people to participate with in this and yes, have a lot of fun!

I'm somewhat experienced with game dev. I published a game on here and on Steam and got several others to near finished state but then abandoned them. So my goal for this gamejam is to get over that and learn to finish projects consistently. That's the biggest skill I'm missing 😅

I'm going to do an RPG-dating sim (SFW, no nudity or anything hardcore, just some flirting) in Ren'Py, which is the engine I always work in (did RPGMaker once and have some projects half finished in Unity and Unreal but I never finished something in any of those engines). I guess my strengths are game design and making stills and animations in Daz3D (learning Blender but I don't know how much I'll use it for this project). I am not a programmer but for Ren'Py you don't really need to be, so I can handle that reasonably well. 

I have zero experience with sound design and music, which is something I want to work on this time, because I want to make the game actually have an atmosphere... I'm also no good with UI, if I'm being honest with myself! So those things are certainly something where I'd want to learn from someone else...

I've only ever worked solo, but I'm open to collaborating on this one! I don't know if you'd want to form a fixed team or contribute to several projects as you please...? What would be the most fun for you to do, have you thought about it?

Definitely would like to work in a team but idk if I am super interested in a dating sim :P it's not exactly "my genre" ... do you maybe have a link or a screenshot you can post here? 
Or we can just chat somewhere, what messenger do you use?

Hey, no worries, it has to be fun for everyone involved first and foremost. I've only been working on my project for a day and could only manage to get the game design down and some rudimentary implementation of it in Ren'Py.  I did some placeholder UI and tomorrow I plan to work on the graphics, so I'll only have screenshots tomorrow or after that.  But never mind that, I think you'll find a better project that's more to your liking, I know that a dating sim is pretty niche and not that exciting mechanically haha
