I've been an independent author, artist  and animator for almost a decade now, and while my novels await possible publishers I've considered teaming up with programmers in order to create an indie game! Here are some samples of my work: https://www.patreon.com/captainafrica 

I mostly worked in Flash and ToonBoom but should transition to any 2D software well enough, and if it is a visual novel that makes things even easier for me -- concerning that I can chip in ideas for story as well. However I do have a day job, so I can't promise to pour all my energy into this indie project.

Update: I have now started to toy with the basics of sprite creation and movement in Unity along with C#. With any luck I may have a very basic demo out and will include screenshots as I toy around with the game engine!

I'm not picky as to what games I work on but card games are typically not as preferred. While I'm not an expert in game design, I've played many platformers, turn-based RPGs, and puzzle and brawler Flash games.
