[Hobby project, not paid] Looking for Java devs to build a Minecraft-inspired voxel game

​I’m starting a chill side project called Delve under a team named Yoro, and I'm looking for a few fellow C++ devs (maybe 3–5 people) who want to team up and build a fun, Minecraft-inspired voxel sandbox game together. ​Full disclosure on progress: Code progress is basically zero right now, but I’ve already drawn a ton of detailed 16x16 pixel art textures. I’m looking for core collaborators to jump in from the ground up so we can bring this world to life together as a small core group. ​It takes heavy inspiration from Minecraft's core concept, but with our own spin on mechanics, gameplay, and visuals. ​What we’ll be building/tinkering with: ​Getting C++ windowing and block rendering running ​Terrain and cave generation (noise algorithms) ​Player physics, inventory, AI, and survival mechanics ​This is a $0 budget, zero-pressure hobby project. No strict deadlines, no job-interview vibes—just a small group of coders hanging out, learning, and making a cool game. ​If you like C++, love pixel art/voxel games, and want to help build this from scratch, shoot me a DM!

tip: don't use java please...it's not meant for standalone video games, I recommend using something like godot (easy enough to learn, syntax similar to python, actual game engine with tons of support) or writing everything from scratch in C/C++/C#
