Hello, I'm a programming looking for someone who can draw nice pixel art and wants to pair on making small-scoped games. This is a hobby venture and I'd like to avoid game jams, at least to start, until we get more comfortable building. I work full time so it'll be for nights/weekends.

I'm recently inspired by things like UFO 50 and Pico-8 where there are a lot of interesting ideas packed in small retro packages, and I hope we can start very small in scope and make something fun in a reasonable amount of time. I guess I'll list a bunch of games I like so you can see if you have similar interests: Slay the Spire, Advance Wars/Fire Emblem, The Sims, Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley, Zelda, Pokemon (and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon), Final Fantasy, Hollow Knight, Metroid, Outer Wilds, the old rpg-like versions of Mario Golf and Tennis.

We can collaborate on game design and deciding what to build, you do all the art/animation/UI, I do all the programming. I don't use any game engines, I'll code in C/C++ and build out any platform features we need. I also have a music background and would be able to compose background tracks.

If you're interested let me know and share some of your work, thanks!
