You don't even have any ideas for what you want it to be other than the genre and programming language.
What is the purpose of wanting this to be created? Monetization? Just because you think it would be fun? What is your budget for hiring someone to make this for you?

Yes, i want to ultimately monetise it, but the idea for monetisation is a little bit different than usual and i want to keep it a secret for now :)

Does it have something to do with crypto, blockchain, NFTs, or AI?

nope, just a different monetisation model that i havent seen yet, or at least have found being used yet, it's more like a tournament model.

Also, im not asking for free labour, im offering freelance work, I wrote my budget in one of the previous messages, what else am I missing?

I came to newgrounds because the games on here look much more decent than itch.io and i created an account to post on the forum.

Honestly, the amount of hostility on the internet these days, it's ridiculous, itch.io is full of kiddies who just respond with silly jokes, reddit people jump on you just for existing on their subreddit :D

I reall don't get it, if youre interested in more info about what i want to do then ask or send me a message, what's the point in telling me that im a newbie on this site and i dont have 'an idea', i have 'some idea' and i was hoping to find someone here to help me brainstorm and develop it, and im paying, so what exactly is the issue?

If you want to start a video game project to collab you need to show your own work whether it's art, music, a simple flash game you made, and writing to convince people to. That way people can see you're a legit person that's not trying to scam or have other people do most of the work for your "idea" game. You're not the first person with a new account to post these type of topics without any of their own work to show for. Your words of payment isn't enough to convince people.

Im mostly a web/app dev, i make games as a hobby from time to time, but i havent published one since i was in uni :D
here's a demo of a game i made once which was published to the playstore:

although i dont think it's available on any stores anymore, does this add more to my legitimacy? :)

It's a mobile game from 13 years ago.
On a technical level, it works, it's functional, but visually, and design-wise, it's just a barebones generic Pang clone, which is so far detached from the zany vibes and wacky design philosophies WarioWare offers, or even indie such as Mindwave.

If you're not "wow-ing" anyone, this is why.

Yeah. I know I'm outing myself by talking on a multi-decade timeline, but I really don't like alot of the energy the non-games portals have brought in. I get that animation and audio and art are way lower effort than games and thus require much more gatekeeping (hence art scouting etc) but Jesus H.

Do I think this project is going to go anywhere? Probably not, most don't. Will it be underpaid? Almost certainly. But being the coder for these kinds of bad ideas helped me make rent back in the day. If someone goes into this with their eyes open, more power to them.

There's a place: The Collabinator
@lastxtemplar, this is the place for you.

Just specify what you need help with (ie. graphics, music, game design, etc)
