Yeah, I think developing game elements simultaneously is probably a better system than what I do, but at least for small games like in jams it's worked well enough for me. I mostly learnt gamedev through trial and error, I just do it as a fun hobby, and the only other coding language I know is Scratch block coding, which I spent a little over two years doing before finally switching to Pico-8 about 6 months ago. As for your request to make a team, I'm not really sure about making any commitments just yet, and I think I would prefer to stay solo for now. I'll let you know if I change my mind though!
