I'm not even sure if this is allowed, friend recommended this forum.

The problem:
I have some ideas, I just think they're generally bad, missing depth or not interesting enough to market. I know artists get flooded by idea guys. Doing the opposite. I'm looking for an artist/founder/partner with good ideas.

About me:
Lots of free time recently. I've been messing around with Pygame, Love2D, RenPy and Unreal. I think I prefer code first even if I have to do low level stuff. Gives me more control. Anyway been jumping back and forth between prototypes mostly due to Blender giving me existential dread. Keep ending up with working game logic and nothing on top of it except MSpaint doodles lol. I've built some tools too including a level editor that has some cool functions for roguelike procedural generation and a working sandbox for a 2D top down or 2D iso view game. Was thinking to release them and just make tools, but here's to trying to actually make a game.

To sum it up: Beginner in game dev, not a beginner in programming. My background is data analysis, but I am semi-retired, early 30s. 

Other things I like to believe I'm good at: market/niche validation, creative sales & distribution distribution strategies.  

Contract based rev share only, already got an LLC if you don't. Or we can set up a new one, whatever.

Games I like: Disco Elysium, FTL, Hollow Knight, Papers Please, Project Zomboid, The Tenants.

I prefer darker aesthetics, but I don't mind super cutesy/cozy. I'll probably be almost useless for world-building or writing for the latter option. Art style I guess pixel art, cell shaded, anime, realistic and stylized, hand drawn or painted are all cool.

If you've got any cool concepts you wanted to make feel free to reach out and Happy New Year.

Hi! I am making a game, grand strategy rpg.

I am more or less secured on the programming side (unity, btw it's interesting how it's quite easy to find disciplined programmers, but anything art related is either very expensive or crawling-pace), I am mostly commissioning assets, so I won't be stuck missing 75% of the project.

I want to wrap everything up in 18 months and I could sure use some help here and there, since pushing everything all at once is quite time consuming... Feel free to chat me up on discord so I can send you some materials and we can figure out if and how you want to help:

Hey, I'm an Unreal Engine Blueprint tech designer, I have a lot of vision for games but often falling short on the deep technical programming knowledge. I'm not an artist, but I think our skills could compliment each other

I'm also in my early 30s, and I currently work in the games industry having shipped around 20 games as a QA Tester

Happy New Year, I’m an artist looking to make some stylized games in Unreal. Right now I’m really interested in trying experimental styles I haven’t seen before in the indie space.

Currently, I’m interested in making a 2nd person horror as it’s smaller scope. But since you already have tools, I’d be up for a top down 2D or a rougelike. Personally, I’d like to work towards going for an Epic Megagrant, so want to do an HD2D game that helps contribute both to stylized art and the 2D art space in Unreal. Hope we can chat and see if we’re a fit!

Hello. My name is Mark. I do music production, sound design, Voice overs, etc. I am looking to build a small team for a project called "In Tobias' Shadow". A 2D metroidvania style game based in 1887, pixel art sprites, gothic art, alien themes, etc.

If you're interested for more information, add me on discord @Real8e

Thanks, have a good one 👍 

Hi Mike, I'm doing some hard digging and flipping through people I've worked with in the past. What I'm generally looking for is a partnership with someone else driven to make games and work in tandem. I can do Art and have many Art related contacts (too many) but I don't have capital. I'm also in my 30's with a family and I'm the lead tech for our service company so I'm generally busy every day. Yet still I'm able to contribute a lot into projects. I have documentation on a game I'm excited to work on. But what's more important is I'm really looking for another technical mind to work with. Someone that can see scope issues, figure out design patterns that are effective with, and have creative back and forth dialogue, and genuine friendship in building games and sharing success. If that's perhaps what your looking for I'd like you to add me and we can talk some more. My Discord is .scottjones I'd be happy to hear from you thanks!
