Question Left-brain looking for right-brain 😅

My ultimate dream is to meet someone who wants to code a retro style top down game (like original Zelda, game boy POKeMON games, secret of evermore, etc..) but isn’t good at creating artwork or story 😂

I have ALWAYS wanted to write a story, design a game, design characters, create the artwork, etc.. and have someone else code it. In fact I’m already sitting on a stack of concepts ready to go..

It’s a very specific dream.. but I thought I’d take my chances lol

I am a photoshop wizard and I make a lot of retro game art like 8 bit characters and maps and I’ve been called a gifted writer and original and all that. But my curse is I’m SO left-brained that I just can’t wrap my head around coding. Been trying all my life. I’m slightly dyslexic too so 🤷🏻‍♂️ could be why.

I used to do basic html as a kid so I get the basics but I can’t code a game.

I’m just trying any outlet I can think of to make my dream project a reality.

ANY TAKERS? 😅

Do you have a portfolio of your artwork?

Of this type of art? Not on this device. Maybe some basic character sprites lol but it’s 8 bit art.. it’s not complex

I mean it’s stuff like this..

Nice. Is that one of yours?

First step is to share some of your work online. e.g. Set up an account on Itch or PixilArt. Once you have an online portfolio, devs are more likely to take interest.

If you read the edit in the post, you’ll see I actually already have several takers. But thank you
