[Ren’py] Programmer looking for a fun visual novel project

Hi, I’ve been working in Ren’py on and off for a few years.

Does anyone need a programmer? Or want to start a new visual novel project together? I have Discord.

I won't be starting the project until July, but I will be needing a programmer at that time for a visual novel I'll be submitting to YaoiJam and SuNoFes, which both run for the same two months.   (Sadly, YaoiJam has rules against starting work before the jam starts, so I only have plot summaries at the moment.)   There won't be any NSFW content, as SuNoFes doesn't allow that.

The game is kind of a 1980s riff on parts of "The Iliad."  If the warriors were all in rock bands.   (Though in the good ending of the game, everyone lives.)

The game will be free, so I can't pay a programmer (or an artist or a composer), but if you're interested, I will definitely be needing the help.  (I don't have Discord at the moment, but I'm likely to have to sign up in order to coordinate with any collaborators I can line up for the project.)

If this sounds like something you might like to help out with, let me know!  :)

Hey, I want to participate in YaoiJam as well, need an artist?

Yes, I totally need an artist!  There are going to be a fair number of characters (I have a depressing tendency to wing it when I write, so it's hard to be 100% sure of how many), with most of the primaries being rock musicians and their management.

I'm on my phone right now so I can't do much that requires typing (I am a super-slow phone-typer), but tomorrow I can sign up for Discord and we could talk and see if we could work together on the project.  (Y'know, so as not to take over someone else's thread here.)

Sure! My Discord tag is Erick1808#1376, you can send me a message once you sign up

That sounds fun! Let me know your Discord once you get it?

Okay, I've signed up for Discord now.  My Discord ID (or whatever it's called) is PyrrhaIphis#6749 and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, so it will probably take me several days to figure out how to use Discord correctly.  (I'm on the PC right now, but I've also downloaded the phone app; I'm hoping I'll have an easier time with that, even if it will make me type more slowly and with more errors.)  Fortunately, the jam doesn't start for another month, so there's time for me to wrestle with Discord. ;)

I sent you a friend request!
