Looking forward to seeing your work! I am also dabbing with the idea of creating/joining a project but I can't code... I only do 2D! Anyway > Do you have a place where you share progress (it would be worth it if you want to build up hype)? Cheers!
(sorry for the late reply... I am on vacation :D) I also do illustration but I love pixel art because it forces me/helps me to finish things faster (while keeping the mood). Here's my Pixilart page if you're interested: https://www.pixilart.com/prinzbach/gallery
