Hey! I came across your post and it honestly sounds pretty close to what I’ve been looking for.
I’m a programmer currently working on my own 2D NSFW point-and-click / story-driven game, and I’ve been looking for an artist to collaborate with rather than just hire for individual assets.
I already have a playable prototype, so if you’re interested, you can check out some of the project here:
X: @RenVeyro
Discord: the_ptah
I’d be happy to show you the current build and hear what you think. Your post caught my attention because the kind of collaboration you described is very close to what I’m looking for too.
