What programming software are you using? and How can I get the software to help you help you out. I'm not a Newb at computers. I've been using computers since I was little back in the 1980's.

Awesome! We are planning on using Unreal Engine 4 as our main engine! 'Wich might be computer heavy for editing'

For 3D modelling i recommend using:

Blender - Google Sketchup - Unity 3D ect..

For Texturing I recommend using: Photoshop - Gimp - Substance Painter - And other Adobe Applications ,Illustrator, Indesign

For Coding 'I am not an expert on that': Notepad ++ Unreal Engine 4 Editor, ect...

I am not certain what type of skills you got. Maybe you got all of them ;D
Take a look at the art styles in maps we are going for: https://sketchfab.com/models/a21cffbe8b8c4ae9b1614f26f2da8fed
Please do ask if you need help/or anything more ^.^

I'm good with art & coding. I even built my own website that I have been running for over 12 years. Has of right now. I'm fixing some coding in my old pages, just to make the pages look good. I have over 1,000+ pages and I'm going through every single one, To make sure the pages have tables. I can do 3 pages in 5 minutes. So I have more then enough time for this project.

coding isn't that hard. back in the late 80's to early 90's my friend & I messed with old computer Programs. I'm also trying to work on designing my own old school NES 8-Bit games. Also I'm a fast learner.

I could help out if you would like! I could help come up with ideas, and if you need any animations that have to do with pixels, I can help with that as well.

I'm good at animating things with pixels, so if you want one that looks 8-bit, 16-bit, etc, I could do that.

I can animate the characters in the character select screen in 16-bit. They would just be placeholders though.

Maybe you should try to do higher resolution animations :3
