What type of person are you looking for? Artist?
That's cool, this is a type of game I'd like to work on but I'm not very good at programming, I get by with unity prebuilt engines like Corgi Engine :)
Check out the 2 recent games I made here on itch and let me know if you'd like me to help. I'd like to make levels and do some art.
I've been working in the game industry for over 20 years, but in non-pixel art games. https://www.evillair.net/v4/resume/ But I'd really like to work on a pixel art game. [edit] my artstation: https://evillair.artstation.com/
