[Programmer] Looking for a programmer to help me create a few games

To clarify the title. (I’m terribly sorry if it’s misleading). I’m looking for a someone who programs as a hobby (fine if not) with some experience with 2D point and click games. A bonus if you’re also willing to keep learning new skills.Just in case if we might get into other types of games. A versatile developer.

Other great qualities can include patience, kindness, and respect. It can be easy to lose your morals on a long or hard project. Ideas and skills take time and shouldn’t be rushed <3

I also want to make a point that at the end of the project, everyone gets a share of the reward. The amount? Depending on how many devlopers I choose and how much the game is sold for. But I promise a fair amount.

And I can’t go further without acknowledging the collaboration part. Developers are free to suggest ideas, and if things get too hard to program, we can negotiate.

Any game engine is acceptable and any number of developers can join.

Also, people with other skills related to game development are free to join. I’m just an artist and designer, the more people on the team, the better!

1. Do you have experience in development?
2. Do you have someone on a team? 
3. Do you have any idea what you're going to do or are you wanted a team first?

  1. I’ve made a few vns with ren’py and some knowledge of ue4/5 and godot. I’ve also dabbled with different coding languages. I’m more of an artist and designer than a developer.

  2. Unfortunately, no. But I’m a jack-of-all-trades with many different skills and I’m a quick learner. But of course, I’ll try to find more people.

  3. I have a few game ideas, but a team is required first.

I have a years experience in 2d game development with godot engine so I'm in 

Tell me more about yourself and your ideas

You can try my games here: https://the-coding-ninja.itch.io

Nice, I’ve dabbled with godot a bit. I say it has potential.

But about me? Where to start. Haha..

I’ve tried at many different creative skills. 2d Art, 3d models, writing, even writing lyrics.

I’ll say I’m good at creating stories and I’m getting better at drawing (mainly different creatures and species). Background art? I’m still learning.

I can draw pixel art, it’s my second best art style.

My writing skills? My specialty is horror, fantasy, and mystery stories. Also beware, my stories may sometimes have deep, hidden meanings.

Coding? I fell in love with python, I’ve made a text adventure game with it, but there isn’t much game development you can do with it (apart from ren’py). I’ve also played with Rpg maker MV. And earlier, I’ve mentioned I used godot before. I’ve created a game from the official tutorials using gd script. I’ve also been trying to learn c++. When I was younger, I’ve tried my hand at ue4, managed to figure out a section of code, but it was no good for me at the time.

But enough of me. Sorry for my blabbering. Haha..

I think you have some potential to make some great games. Everyone starts somewhere.

As for my ideas. I’ve had an idea of a story-driven 2d point and click management game about two gunslinger brothers trying to manage a bed and breakfast hotel in the woods. You can imagine the controversy.

Now I’d like to know more about you :)

Well my story is a bit similar

I am a programmer looking for a job

So since my childhood I have always wanted to make games especially horror

I started my coding journey in 2019 when I learned python and it's game development libraries like pygame and ursina. Then in 2021-22 I learnt a few more languages including scratch, html, css and c#.

Then recently in 2022 I learnt godot and started making games with it and recently I have started pixel art.

A few weeks ago I released the demo of my horror rpg made with godot: https://the-coding-ninja.itch.io/dark-school-demo

I am also a student so I can't compromise on my studies while doing game development

So that's all about me

I think it was too long and quite boring😅

I think it's going to be fun developing games with you

I think we’d make a great adventure together as well. Oh, and I’m also a student. But you’re probably older than me. College?

I’d give you my discord, but my computer is so old and slow it lags. I’m saving up to buy a new one, but before then, you can contact me through email, mine is error.kitten.7.7@gmail.com

By the way which country are you from and do you use WhatsApp as I rarely use discord and email 

And I am still a school student ( Grade 10)

What about you?

Oh, I’m a grade student as well, 12th grade, I’m 16.

I’m in the US. I can tell you’re much further

I don’t have a Whatsapp. I don’t even have a phone -~-. If you can’t use Discord or Email, I guess we can find an alternative. (I know I’ll set up a trello for game management)

And I am from Pakistan

Okay so we should just use discord because I am logged in Gmail on my computer and I can't use it on a daily basis

My Discord is: The_Coding_Ninja#3371

Ok,I’ll send you an invite

@AssassinSENPAI I will talk to you by the end of may 2023 as I am currently busy with studies 

Ok, I’ll be waiting!

I'd probaly give up mid-way plus i'm not experienced in coding, but if I get any better i'll let you know.

Sure

sounds interesting 

Greatful to see some interest

Are you using Godot?

Yes, actually I am

ShatteredReality#7834

Ok, will dm tomorrow

Make that next week. I have computer problems, waiting for a new one.

i am interested, i have made some 2D point and click games

Cool, what types?

I make 2D and 3D games, for browser, windows and android. I have made action-,puzzle-adventures- and rpg-games

Cool, I checked out your creator’s page and I see you’ve made many games. What engine do you use?

Unity, Monkey X, Blitzbasic, PureBasic, AGK,  javascript/jquery and NESMaker

Woah… I don’t even know half of those. I just have experience with godot

want we make a game?

Hmm, I only have 2 game ideas, once I need more developers, then I’ll hire you
