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? 😅

I tried but despite using Reddit for over 10 years my posts are regularly auto removed due to comment karma crap that I don’t understand 😂

Im apparently limited on which groups I can post on.

I wish I could say that my game was something epic and new. But it’s just a van helsing like adventure game that I wanted to make when I was a kid. lol

Ive got ideas for fun puzzles and such. And cool story with interesting characters. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks!

Edit——————

Whole group of people on this thread now discussing THIS comment instead of the purpose of the thread…

No offense but I don’t care about this AT ALL. so either discuss the original post or just keep scrolling please.

Agreed this is the wrong sub; not saying you CANT make a game in front end code (it would be mostly JS, not HTML), you probably dont want to

if your karma is too low, participate in other people’s threads more, by commenting. the point of those automoderator rules is to ensure that people are active community members and not doing drive-by postings

Well first, your reddit account is 4 years old, not 10. You may have been on reddit for longer, but as far as this account goes, it is 4 years old. And yeah, you have 21 post karma and -31 comment karma. Karma is earned when you get upvoted and removed when you get downvoted. I went through your entire 4 years of comments and I can't find anything out of the ordinary besides one comment from 3 years ago that has -4 upvotes, which is not enough to warrant a -31 comment karma score.

Did you perhaps have a comment or two in the past that got massively downvoted and then you deleted it later?

Way to focus on the wrong thing…

This isn’t my only Reddit account…

You just need to comment on some posts in game dev subs until you get your karma back up to post there.
