Hi,

I'm Davide, 31 years old, a digital entrepreneur and a programmer (data analyst) for the past 13 years. In the last year and a half, I've delved into game development, which has always been my passion, and lately, I've been getting into Visual Novel development.

I primarily develop in Godot and GDScript, but as a Data Analyst who works daily in Python, I've approached game development in Pygame, and therefore Ren'Py shouldn't pose any problems (although I still prefer using a generic engine like Godot to more easily integrate any kind of needed mechanics).

As an investor, I'm happy to fund projects of this kind, but there are some poorly worded clauses in your request.

If you're asking for a programmer, without decision making power, who isn't paid, that's not something feasible, and in that case, I'm not interested.

If you're looking for a publisher to handle marketing and distribution, you won't find one for free. They may not necessarily insist on changing design choices, but they usually take at least a 30% cut. However, I am not a publisher and do not operate as one.

What I do is assimilate projects in Revenue Sharing, where I acquire the project, and profits are divided based on the work ratio of the parties involved. I may also be willing to accept clauses like not interfering with artistic direction. Naturally, this is provided that I like the graphics and the story. However, remember that game design, as ugly as it may sound, rarely exceeds 30% of the project's value.

Obviously, in case you were looking for a partner, with whom to co-divide the project, the situation would change, but no partner would dedicate months of work without having decision-making power

In any case, I am more than willing to evaluate your idea, if necessary, after signing an NDA, and then discuss the terms further.

Best regards, 

Davide

Just out of curiosity, if you're interested in adding a musician to your team, lately I've quite a bit of free time! I'd also like to mention that I'm eager to join any projects you might have in mind! 

Here's one of my pieces:

Hello! I dunno if you have already found someone but if you haven't:

I'm a Visual Novel (mostly but also can do rpg) programmer, I have two games on my profile for if you wanna give it a look and check. Gotta say that the two games on my profile are, one: my first game ever done, and the second one which was better programmed : it's an unfinished game (for the mere fact that i dislike having to draw that much)

I don't really have that much expirience but even tho I don't have that much games on my profile I have done more things that just those two.  If you're interested and think ill do a good job, ill be happy to help on your idea and program it :))
