[AGS HELP WANTED] Illustrator/Music noodler seeks developer!

[Waffle Logic]

Hi there!

Owen here! New to the forum but a longtime lover of Adventure Games.

Why I Joined AGS
Me and my partner Abby run a business as self-employed illustrator/designers. We also share a love of Adventure Games. I introduced her to the genre, and it's been a big way we've bonded over the years.

My First Goal
Our ten year anniversary is coming up in Mid-November, and I really love the idea of making a tiny little Point and Click for her to play, starring me, her, and our cat. 
Prototype art style and general concept can be seen here: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/critics-lounge/vector-murals-to-pixel-art-backgrounds!/


My Longterm Goal
It's been a longheld dream of mine to work on writing and creating art for a LucasArts style adventure, and this little project would be a good jumping off point, perhaps?

Here's the catch: I have a Mac, and I don't think I can build an AGS game with it. Additionally, I don't think I would wrap my head round it. So I'd love to team up with someone who already has that aspect down and would be up for working with me that way.

What I Am Hoping to Bring (To the Right Project/Projects)
I'm keen to write dialog and puzzles. Illustration and design are what I do for a living so I would be eager to apply those skills too. I also make electronic music and have been doing so for a couple years, so would love to experiment with doing sound and music for the games along with the backgrounds, sprite art and perhaps collaborating with someone on the puzzle designs.

Games I Love
I have loved point and click adventure games since I was a 5 years old. Over the past few years, I have introduced my girlfriend of (almost) 10 years to all my favourites, from DOTT, Monkey Island, Simon the Sorcerer, Sam & Max, Broken Sword. We've also played some fabulous new and indie games, The Blackwell Series, Kathy Rain, Unavowed, Thimbleweed Park.

Ramble Over
I'd love to get thoughts on whether a tiny little game is an achievable goal for mid November? (I'd be doing it on the sly so as not to spoil the surprise for Abby!). Do I stand a chance of finding someone willing to help me build it, with the ambition of collaborating on larger future projects too?

Another few points!

Background prototypes ready
For this first game, I essentially have all the backgrounds already. I'm going to downsample mural designs me and Abby have created over the years to 320 by 240 and drop them to 256 colours, so that the characters are inside the murals. I already tried this on a few of them and I think they'll work pretty great.

Paid or Unpaid
I would be interested in getting a quote for support on making this first 'gift' game for Abby, unless there's someone who is interested in working on this as the start of a working collaboration for future games! It's the build of it I need help on.

Hello there! I'm up for a collab, since I'm looking to improve my scripting skills on AGS.

Would you please add me on Discord? My id is [redacted]. Feel free to DM me as well.

Looking forward to working with you!  o/
