Hi Grim. Helveticau (OP) has not gotten back to me. But I have gone back and forth with a software intern about it and am trying to make an official team, I don't think that adding a second coder or backup person would hurt the process. I'm still really basic about everything, but have gotten experience creating sprites and spritesheets and have a game idea in my head.
Email me at andydreamblade@gmail.com if you're still interested.
