"if someone has a story they want to tell and need a programmer to glue it together I can work with that."
I am in exactly that situation.
I've been posting enmass looking for teammates here the post in full if your interested:
Heya I'm forming a team to make a cutesy dating sim. I need coders, artists, and writers. The working title of this game is Patisserie Academy!~ The main idea of this dating sim is that a dessert chef (Patisserie) is trying to date a dessert to earn their permission to produce it for the final cook off. It would be full of wacky dessert puns some innuendo based humor. Preferably the art style will be similar to other modern cutesy gimmicky dating sims (Doki-Doki Literature Club, Sucker for Love)
Here are some things me and my art friend have worked on for reference:
