I feel you. I have some friends interested but they don't want to actually do the work. I'll submit ideas for games and actually implement those ideas (even if they suck). But my friends feign interest and just give creative thoughts without rolling up their sleeves and learning the engine or doing any work. Even though they are programmers for their day job.
I have one friend who seemed interested, and I showed him around the software for about 15 min and he was like "that's good enough for the day I think". I facepalmed and was just like... "yeah... we can do more later" knowing full well that wouldn't happen.
It sucks.
Man, I feel you. I bring it up to my friends and they're all happy about it but then I mention programming and turns them completely off...
