Howdy all,
I’m a programmer and game designer who’s recently gotten back into making games. Right now I’m building a Deltarune-inspired RPG system, and as I get closer to finishing the core mechanics, I’d love to team up with an artist to help bring the project to life.
I’m mainly looking for someone who’s into pixel art, ideally at or above my level (I’m definitely more of a programmer than an artist). I’d like to focus on coding, story, dialogue writing, and helping fill in art where I can. I’d be thrilled to have a partner who can really shine on the visual side. I’ve attached an example of some pixel art I've created recently, devoid of context, so you can get a sense of the baseline:
Besides art, there’s plenty of room to collaborate on things like character design, story and worldbuilding, or even game mechanics if that’s your thing. But if you’d rather just focus on art, that’s totally cool too. While I do currently have my own plan for a story/plot, I am also opening to hearing about your own ideas and even potentially creating that instead if it's better than mine! Let's talk about our ideas and create the best plot and world we possibly can!
The game is being made in GameMaker Studio 2. I’ve already got most of the battle system, movement, menus, and dialogue system up and running, so we’re at the point where blocking out maps and prototyping with real assets makes sense.
This is a rev-share project. My current plan is to put out a free demo or Chapter 1, then continue from there if people are interested. If it grows into something bigger, I’d be happy to do a crowdfunding campaign and split revenue 50/50.
If you're interested at all, please feel free to reach out to me on Discord. If possible, please comment your Discord username here as well!

EDIT: I've decided to focus on my Deltarune fan-game first to build up a bit more experience before going forward to complete a full game project. Thank you if you were interested!
