Hello! Professional programmer here looking to turn my hobby into at least 1 game per month during 2022. There was a time I was bad at finishing games I started. Not anymore.

I’m very good about finishing any game I start to build and I’ve been successful with that this year! I no longer have a bunch of half written games. This year I completed 2 games that I started in Summer. I’d like to find like-minded hobbyists who would love to be apart of a hobbyist team with me by finishing a few small projects together in the new year.

All talents welcome who are also looking to get better at making games, all skill levels. The most important thing is your ability to finish the games. By the end of a year you’ll be better than when you started so it doesn’t matter too much how good you are today. I’m personally just someone how knows how to code pretty well (been at it for years), and I consider my game programming skills to be amateur/hobbyist level.

Right now I’ve been using Unity, but I’m pretty open to using Godot or Game Maker game engines in 2022. I’ve no experience with anything else and if I actually want to finish these games I should stick to tools I’m at least familiar with for now. I prefer Unity.

I think this might be a team of 2-6 people or so. The games we make are up to us so long as they are small enough to complete on time. I’ve been working in 2D and its quite enjoyable!

Just reply to this thread for now until we find each other. Then we can share discord/contact info from there :)

Update:

I’ve created a Discord to make it easier for interested folks to join. I’ll still try to send friend invites, but if I miss your name just join the discord.

Also Im proxocasus on discord and Im usually around in the evenings USA Pacific time zone! That seems to be a good time to catch a couple of us online. Currently 4 people so far and the more the merrier since the projects change each month and so will project interest.

In the new year ill make a new thread each month about the current project and invite more to join if we need it!

Nice art work!

If either of you use Discord, post. I can’t seem to find my login at this very minute so I don’t know the numbers behind my name :) I’ll definitely post tomorrow though to share. In the meantime, I can send you a friend request from proxocasus.

Anyone else whose interested, some more things I thought about:

I expect that before this year is over we’ll have discussed what kinds of games we want to make and then pick one to start in January.

I’m totally open to game jams in 2022 as well!

Finally, joining this team doesn’t mean you’re exclusive or anything like that. It means you’ve found a few hobbyists who are dedicated to finishing games they start that you can reliably work with in 2022. Very informal, no pressure. Simply finish whatever we start together and by next summer you’ll have a few complete games under your belt to share, show off and enjoy.

Thanks!

Hi, I am a graphic designer who specializes in log and title design. I am interested in taking on more than project at a time. Beign that I just started doing public work, I don't have any examples, but I can throw something together for and example. I prefer email, until I feel that I really need to communicate via discord.

email: moosic52@gmail.com

Sorry for the late reply today. Its holiday weekend here in the US so I’m kinda afk until next week. However, I’ll send out messages to those of you who have supplied contact info.

I was planning to use Discord for communication so its a good way to contact me right now. But if you have some other preference thats ok too.

Update!

I went ahead and made a Discord channel for this. It’ll be easier for you guys to just click the link and join than for me to search this thread for discord names each day. This link expires every few days but I’ll keep it up to date in the first post.

I hope to get everyone together this coming weekend to start chatting about what we want make first and it’ll be in this discord channel!

Come join in :)

I dont think we have any environmental artists but theres room to have more than 1 of anything any way. This month we’re just sort of casually getitng to know each other on Discord, talking about the kinds of games we want to make and getting ready for January!

the more the merrier!

Hey, I'm a voice actor and a translator English-French, do you think you'll need someone like me? (plus, I wanted to know if you want to pay us a part of what you'll gain from the games)

it would be awesome to get voice tracks on a game! come join the discord and chat :)

given the holiday season, everyones relaxing with friends and family so the first project wont start until January. but I pop on discord almost every evening just to say hi and chit chat with anyone online.

also theres currently no intent to sell games. we are hobbyists who just want to learn and get better. our goal is to finish what we start no matter what by the end of each month.
