Hello,
For the past two years, I've been working on this solo project called Fading Away: The Bleak Tale of Leanen. While I do have a demo currently posted in the project page, that is the build from March of this year, and everything except the music was my work. As can be clearly seen, it is flagrantly amateur. Not long after releasing that build, I was joined by a few other developers, but due to various life circumstances, the team fell apart.
Right now, the project is quite different from what you see in the demo, both in implementation and design. While the basic structure is the same, concepts are better-realized, thanks to the discussions I had with the group members.
I hope to hear from you! Even if you are not interested in becoming a member of this team, I always welcome feedback or discussion with people of similar interests in game aesthetic or narrative.

Programming:
I myself am a very amateur programmer, and much of the code already in the game reflects this. Really, there is much that is beyond my skill level, so primarily, I am looking for a programmer with experience in the Godot Engine to continue the programming aspects of the game, and possibly refactor, if needed.
At the moment, I am working on UI and actor functionality.
Art:
Like before, I've little skill or experience with visual art, so I would need an artist (experienced or not) to create suitable and stylistic assets for the game. The graphics that can be seen in the game currently are sort of the style that I am going for (I can elaborate on this over DM), but I am open to other styles if you think a different one would work better. Also, skill in skeleton animation (in the Godot Engine) is a huge plus, but is not required, as that is how the objects in game are currently animated.
Right now, the highest priority is to create NPCs, based off of an already-made base template (i.e., hair, face, clothing, etc.). After that, item icons would be needed.
If you're interested or have any questions, please either comment here or send me a DM through discord!
