I mostly write but have wanted to make a game for a while.
Just need to find someone to code?
I think that's the easy bit. For me at least.
Any sort of artwork is expensive to commission though. And if you're born without a shred of artistic talent in your entire being, you ain't doing it yourself.
So I've got some very broad strokes vision of a game I want to build and I haven't expanded on it further because I know I can't afford to make it.
If I do decide to make it, I'd have to hire someone to do 3D modelling* at the very least. I don't see a world where that's feasible without copyright, because then I'd just be paying someone's salary (or commissions) and be out of pocket for it.
* No, don't worry, I'm not thinking of yet another photorealistic-ish looking 3D game. More like something in the style of the 3D Zelda games or like some of the (MMO)RPGs of the 00s.
No, I'd like to do that myself. Mostly need the time and sufficient motivation. Most of my time is eaten up GMing multiple ttrpgs a week right now.
