Hello, I'm also a beginner and I would gladly share ideas and make games together. Mostly for fun but improving my skills sounds good, too. Though I've already made a few games which you can see in my profile. The idea of 2D top-down RPGs sounds good to me. And I would like to hear about your game. I'm mostly into dialogue, fleshing out characters, writing, the story, coming up with ideas and game mechanics. But I can make a simple visual novel with the Ren'Py engine (as you can see from my profile) and I can make some art, too, if I really push myself but I prefer not to. Pixel art sounds good to me.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Have a nice day. :)
