That's how I just started. A game I loved made me wish to make my own...so I did XD. Best of luck if you decide to try out yourself.
Well if you're looking for any volunteer support, I'd be happy to learn and help if I can.
I prefer to work alone ATM, but I'll open a dedicated Discord for the game soon. We can keep in touch there and I can write a rough guide of my process there.
can you draw characters or code or use RenPy well?
