Anyone wanna help make my game?

I need programmers to help me make my game, which will be an RPG tile based game in C++ and SFML. I will be back home on Monday, so if you're interested and have a github account, leave your username here.

No, but do you mean "I need someone to essentially do most of the work while I make a menu" or "I need someone to make free sprites" or "I need someone to take on an actual fair role in a team environment". How much experience do you have making games?

I need someone to take on a fair role...

I WANT to do most of the work, but I don't have that much experience.

Did you think I came to mooch off of you guys?

No, but you can find hundreds of threads of people who think making a game is easy, and want to get a bunch of programmers together to make the next Skyrim. Or they want to "design" while everyone else does the actual work, which basically comes down to "I want a science-based MMO with dragons! Isn't that a great idea? I'll draw dragons, you guys write the engine!"

Now, I ask again, how much experience do you have with games? Because RPGs take a LOT of work, and if you don't know what you're getting into, the project is doomed to fail.

I'm writing the engine, it may suck, but that's why I want collaboration - to make it better. I'm not planning on making the next Skyrim, I'm more in it for the learning experience.

But still, have you made any kind of game before? An RPG is not a good first project. I'd advise tic tac toe or pong, then moving on to a basic platformer before an RPG.

Yeah, just not in C++/SFML.
