Alright, I'll take a look at the "pay what you want" option. ^^
I gave your offer to help a though. What would help you most to improve as a developer is probably the normal eventing options given in the RPG Maker to get to know them better and improve the mindset needed for game making. At least if you want to stick with the RPG Maker MV for making games. If you want to make other games later, then it might not be the best to start with the RPG Maker , since most of what you learn in it won't work that way in other programms. So the question you should ask yourself is with what you want to work in the future and focus on that.
Sadly the normal eventing and mapping are two things I don't really need help with. I have a lot planned, but those plans are in my head and are what I need to do myself to make this my game. Even something simple like the mapping is best if I do it myself, since I have my own style and create stories while making the map or create it in a specific way for existing ideas, so someone else making it for me wouldn't work well.
What I could use help with in general is:
- Complex eventing (like the warmap battle system). If you can help in this regard would highly depend on how much you already know about RPG Maker MV eventing, as it wouldn't be much help and save no time if I need to explain and teach everything to you first.
- Pixelart (mostly for character sprites, for example for monstergirls since I can't make those with the character creator)
- Someone to give me music for specific battles, scenes or maps. There are a lot of places for free music, but finding the right track for specific things is time consuming so I usually stick to the default stuff I already have.
- Help with plugins. I think they're usually written in javascript, which might be useful to learn since it can be used for other things apart from RPG Maker plugins, but personally I don't have the time and motivation to do it. XD
- In-depth balancing feedback for partymembers (skills, equippment, stats), enemies and economy (gold gain and use)
- Graphic design stuff for walkthrough, websites, artbook, special screens like skilltree and so on, to make them look better.
- Help with the walkthrough to add more details, quest solutions, keeping it up to date and spellchecked. Currently someone is helping me with it and made good progress lately, but doesn't have infinite time so maybe a second person to help with it won't hurt.
- Help to find more places to post the game and to advertise for it. I constantly hear the game gets little attention for the quality and quantity in it, so I assume it's due to myself concentrating on the game making over advertising for it. ^^"
Maybe you can see something you'd like to help with in this list, but I'm not sure if that'll really help you with your dream of becoming an indie developer. Usually my tip when someone wants to start a game is to fool around with a small project first to learn the different options the programm offers. And not immediately try to make something that can sell or get on patreon for money, as those projects with such a goal in mind often don't get finished when they don't get as much support as they thought they could get.
