Hey everyone!

With the recent announcement of the new Neo Geo AES+, I’ve been feeling inspired to start a new project — a retro-style RPG designed with that classic hardware in mind.

I’m a software engineer with 15+ years of experience, and I’m looking to collaborate with:

• 🎨 Pixel artists (character sprites, environments, UI)
• 🎵 Musicians (chiptune / Neo Geo–style soundtrack)
• 🖋️ Writer / Narrative designers (worldbuilding, dialogue, lore)
• 💻 Programmers interested in low-level development (SDL + C and especially 68000 assembly) — if you’ve ever wanted to build something on this kind of hardware, this is a great chance to team up

The goal is to create something that feels authentic to the era while still being a fresh experience. I’m especially interested in pushing the limits of the hardware and embracing that old-school workflow.

If the project turns out well, I’m also planning to explore a physical cartridge release, so this could become something tangible and collectible.

Right now this is a passion project, but I’m serious about seeing it through and building a small team of like-minded creators who love retro development.

If you’re interested, drop a comment or message me with your portfolio/work!

Let’s make something worthy of the Neo Geo legacy. 🕹️

Hey! I’m really interested in joining as a low-level developer. I have experience with C and enjoy working on low-level graphics.

I haven’t worked with assembly yet, but I’m open to learning it if needed.

Here’s an example of my work (C + OpenGL): https://github.com/blocker147/pure-c-with-opengl
I also have 5 years of experience as a Java backend developer.

Let me know if you’re still looking for programmers!
