So if you want a "Lead" then you need someone to coach you through all of it, right? Also, whats your location, because meetings, right? I am from Austria, and while furries is not something id generally align myself with, I like the idea of a rev share model when theres something for me in it, duh right? I have been in university for quite a while, does not mean I am heavily skilled at all, for Software Development. Dont have my Bachelors, so theres that. I dont think there are templates for Crusader King like games, you may want to look into Steam Workshop and modding the game, but I am only up for a stand alone title. Here are the engines I would play around with in my freetime, MonoGame, GDevelop. Offcourse I tried Unity in university multiple times already and I am aware of Godot and tried it a couple times, but why not go for the most stripped off version of the game and go from there, because even Godot has its nuances, like Unity, as tools become huge they become unweildy. Please do not considder me for writing, I dont know how to explain this to people xD but if the money is right I wont budge. I have never truly finished a game, I am still learning and yeah. Thats it, basically. Thanks!
