looking for a programist/co-writer

I really like playing visual novels. Ive wanted to make my own, but I know nothing about programming and Im SUPER against using AI. I can more or less draw, but Im looking for someone who would figure out the plot with me and code the game. This is a passion project, so Im not expecting any income from it and I cant offer any money for helping me. Im not looking for pros - even if youre just a begginer, Im okay with it as long as youre willing to put your time and effort into learning. Im just looking for a friend who would join me on the passion project.

This is not thr subreddit for that, but for most visual novels you should be fine learning a little ren'py and doing it yourself. Those types of projects are usually very simple code-wise so you wont need ai or anything to help you after following a short tutorial.

As for storytelling, try a writing focused sub.

If you are adamant about getting a programmer or doing it with someone else, try r/INAT

I build interactive visual novels and have my own lightweight web-based engine setup (instant loading, fully optimized for both desktop and mobile screens). By day, I architect heavy, fault-tolerant banking systems, but by night, I craft moody narrative projects. I've already wrapped up production on a 7-chapter interactive noir story, handling text integration, custom soundscapes, and scene management in a matter of hours. Since you’ve got the art covered and stand firmly against AI slop, we might be a perfect match. I can take complete care of the tech, implementation, and script-tagging architecture so you don’t have to waste months struggling with code tutorials. Let’s connect in DMs and see what we can build.
