Hi All,

I am a software developer by Profession, mainly having worked with  web development but I have also used, Java/C# and played with Python and Rust for my own projects (I've also used other languages as a one of for coding puzzles).

However I have no experience in game making, the closest I have ever done is a sound based flappy bird knock-off in a game jam. I know basically nothing about what goes into it and would love to be able to join a team 

  •   could benefit from taking on someone to handle the simpler tasks
  • is willing to guide me to help me learn in my time

Hi, Im in similar position as you, developer by profession with interest in gamedev. Im working on a small project in Game Maker Studio 2 and would welcome some help. Contact me if interested.

Yeah, I'm up for it.  What sort of thing are you thinking? Also should say, I will need to get a new computer before I start (hoping to get one before the end of the month, might also need advice on that)

In the lamest terms, its zelda but you're a boat, with tower deffense elements

What's the best way to get in touch, do you have a discord?

yes, look up starjohn, with a mojras mask link pfp

Hey, in the same boat as the dev above. I've made a few 80's style arcade game clones for my personal practice but I'm wanting to expand and work on something a bit bigger and (hopefully) collaborate/work with others for the experience and to possibly learn more together.

Yeah, let's do something, what sort of thing do you want to make? And what's a good messaging platform for you?

Also  I should add, I will need to get a new computer before I start (hoping to get one before the end of the month, might also need advice on that)

I have a few story concepts that could be good depending on the kind of game you want to make or we can start from scratch! 

My goal is to get more experience under my belt. I started learning how to use the software first and only recently started picking up how to code again. That being said; It'd be nice to have a project where it's going to be alright for me to make mistakes/ troubleshoot the code until I figure out how to do "the thing").

Best way to get ahold of me is either on discord: bexesoteric

or on tumblr: @revcorgames

Sent you a request on Discord

Hi Professor Farnsworth, 

I'm a student concept artist and BG painter that would be interested in working with a team of hard-working and inspired people. 🤣 Even a knock-off flappy bird sounds terrific and technologically impossible for someone like me. I'm constantly inspired by the design/coding side of gaming.

My portfolio is attached below which includes 2D art and 3D experimentation.

I'm personally working on 2.5D sprites with custom normals 😉  which could be of interest to you!

Good morning, Zyssna,

I am Warren, a 14 year old who is also the director of a growing game studio(currently 3 invested, and 2 temporary members).

I have a good project for you and I think you would be integral to our success in the industry. Your benefits would be practice and also a lot to add to your portfolio. As we are still students, I don't think that you will be paid however, when we do make money, you will get your fair share.

Please contact my Discord, luwu8129, for more information and I will send over a design document.

Hi there - I'm a writer and musician who just got an MA in Media Composition but used to work as a non-gaming software Project Manager/Product Owner. I have time now to put toward getting people together to work out a concept, get a plan documented, and working out a schedule with milestones in addition to doing writing and sound design so long as I know everyone involved is committed to completing the project. Let me know if you think I could help, it would be amazing to get a completed project for our portfolios!

if you need an unpaid writer who has experience with writing opa movie and a bunch of short stories im available and would love to collaborate i can write dialogue and story

Howdy Sir ,i've read your description and i know it may not be quite what you're looking for but i want you to help me create an app  that  requires the basics so you will be able to learn  them while you're building the app. I don't want to speak about it in public so let's talk in private on any software you want.

Hello, maybe you already found all you need but I am looking for a team for a RPG style productivity app for the environment. Job letter:

"

! Do you care about the environment?! I made a free MVP of what my project is about here: https://fastfrwrd-earth.my.canva.siteHabitica is an RPG style productivity app that is very cool. I wish to do that for eco action based on one or more of my narrative game IPs. 2 are PG and 2 are 18+.

I wish to film some of the creation process while discussing world issues like this podcast: https://fastfrwrd-earth.my.canva.site/aleya#activism

I do lots of fun stuff for the environment. I would love to work with Habitica to get people psyched to save the world. My project was supported by the German government and placed in a startup accelerator (even though we only spoke with them twice and funding got cut due to visa stuff). 

The Mission: A podcast style tutorial and devlog of banter and learning and app development on an Opensource Habitica for the environment with 1 of my IPs, listed on this whiteboard and detailed in linked establishing lore: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGGWjmunnA/lH5a-nBom2JQzoJUzicl1g/edit?utm_content=DAGGWjmunnA&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

These IPs have 3 years of work behind them.

Absolutely imperative is working on this project Carbon Neutrally. That's our challenge factor which will be fun 😊 ☘️ 

Games portfolio: https://wheelsgr.itch.io

Let’s save the world naughty or nice. 

Clarifying summary: I wish to create Habitica for the environment based on one of my IPs (most likely Solubrious) to begin with, 4 to choose from eventually, made Opensource and Carbon Neutral, possible DevLog with eco centric banter also possible."
