Hello there,
Maybe we can get in touch and find something we can work on together! I'm turning 32 next month and am a very experienced programmer. I can also do pixel art (16x16, 32x32) in Aseprite and can animate it as well. I love games like Stardew, creature collecting, RPGs, and automation/sim stuff. I don't want to create a singleplayer experience, so I'd love to create a game in this genre for a small group of up to 10 players or so, with dedicated server support.
You can add me on Discord if you like: nyothedev
