I'm working on making come code that turns the DragonRuby Game Toolkit into something that can easily make Visual Novels. I finished the bare minimum code required for this about a month ago, and while I'm working on adding more things to the template, I think it's time to actually make a game out of it.

But I have no real plan for a story right now.

Anyone who wants to join Would Not need to get the Toolkit (though if you want, there are ways listed on their page to get it for free). Writers would be able to work out of a text document. Artists would be restricted to 1280x720 resolution due to the engine.

I'm down to go it alone, but if someone has a story they want to tell and need a programmer to glue it together I can work with that.

"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:
