Set designer looking to make a game

[Aquaora]

I enjoy creating rooms and little items. Little hidden things. However, I'm not skilled enough (yet?) to create an all-out game! Anybody looking to collaborate or something? An example of my work below...

I do want to learn myself! I was thinking I could collaborate, maybe pick up some tips that way while I learn.
Thanks for the advice, though! I appreciate it!

Well, you can pick up some 15-year old programmer quite fast (at 15 I was whoring myself very much with programming games for whoever wished so). But the thing is, you won't learn anything yourself. Programmers (bad programmers) (I'm saying "bad programmers" because good programmers aren't going to waste their time on all this, all you're going to find are beginner level AS2 coders or smth) tend to write incoherent code and organize things in a messed up way which only they can understand. Also, you may ask the programmer to teach you, but teaching how to make games is quite a large favor to ask from someone, and programmer will probably not know how to make games himself, and will instead follow mishmash strategy of blindly poking stuff until it works.

The best and fastest way to learn how to make games is to apply to some project as a programmer, and not have some other person program the game for you, you won't learn anything that way, obviously.

That would be true and good advice, but learning to code isn't the entire reason for this topic. I want to collaborate to create something, because I can't code. Not so I can learn to.

But collaborating with a programmer or an artist is never fun. In fact, it's quite tedious. Most of the people with whom I've had an opportunity to collaborate were complete idiots and didn't know what they wanted to make. You're asking for lots of pain when you willingly go to collaborate with someone.
