I'd say you would have to have a polished prototype in order for people to want to join in. If you have something moderately interesting, people will reach out to help. That has been the case with my games

So this is what I've learned fron making 4 games so far

If you're a programmer then gdevelop would be a piece if cake. Find free sprites online for everything. Make a beautiful prototype, use the engine effects to make the game shine. Share on social media every week and I guarantee someone will inbox you because they will believe in what you're doing..

I'm not a big name developer but my fastest game has 600 wishlists and people are coming to me..

You can do this, development is easy now

#

Dont make the art yourself and save yourself some time 😀

so, i changed the game engine to rpg maker vx, cuz im kinda bad on gdevelop coding

#

Awesome, sounds like you're swift!

Perfect timing, now that you have a prototype and you think it's great to start attracting others. Start clipping some videos and post everywhere, reddit, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc with the #screenshotsaturday. Ask for feedback and if there's any interests. For Facebook, join all indie dev groups and post there. This is great for exposure. If you you really have something there, people should start reaching out by tomorrow definitely!

Keep me updated, I'm excited to the progress you will make!

I don't feel that is enough, you need to post everywhere for real feedback not just from niche gamers but everyone

#

so i have to make a little demo for the game?

#

100% people have to see you're dedicated enough to the project to make it happen if it means you're doing it alone

#

If you don't believe in the project that much, people won't either

#

This is why I say to join the Facebook groups. It is meme to have someone come into the indie as an "idea guy" without contributing too much or anything at all to see the project full

If you notice that I was the only person to respond to your ad. It is because there many guys everyday trying to create a "team" but no experience or real prototype for anyone to get behind.

You must make an incredible demo that will entice people to help you. Can ask for help with no money or prototype. People will ignore

#

I've had to all this to get people believing me

#

You've got this, reaching out to other creators, learning code, asking the right questions, just gotta put it together ❤️
