Hello, I am novice programmer (despite doing it for 9 years as a hobby), doing things in Java and modern-ish C++. My best known works are Doukutsu Randamu (Cave Story roguelite fangame, or as PC Gamer put it, "indie darling turned into roguelike") and various mods of Shattered Pixel Dungeon with varied themes, like ally teamwork and progression reworks (Summoning PD and its remake, Summoning PD: Reincarnated), prolonged grinding and ridiculous numbers (Experienced PD and its reboot, Experienced PD Redone/2.0) or massive game design changes towards making the game easier or more wacky (Rat King Adventures, Ech PD, DERanged PD, Even Shorter PD). All of PD variants can be found on my GitHub profile, linked in my profile, while Doukutsu Randamu has itch.io page with 7k downloads (also in my profile description).

While all of those have been supported and somewhat successful to their target audiences, one thing I want to do is bringing DouRandamu out of its proprietary fangame chains, making it not use Cave Story-based assets, but still retaining its charm in any way or form. The massive problem is that, despite doing hobby gamedev for a long time, my pixel art skills are in realm of being... very bad, with most of artwork in my popular works being done by my friends or acquaintances (with proper credit, of course).

Therefore, I am looking for pixel art artists (and possibly a composer too) to be able to make my games as good as possible. If you know how Cave Story looks or sounds, that's a very appreciated extra skill. My direct messages are open to any willing contributors. My engine of choice is Godot.

My timezone is UTC+7, but I am willing to contact people over the globe due to being able to stay in deep night (don't ask why) and I am available across entire week (except daytime Saturdays due to house cleanings). My preferred language is English, but my native language is  Russian, if that's what you want.
