Hi all. Just casually calling out to anyone that might be interested in the same thing. (Indie game dev can be quite lonely)

I consider myself a fairly competent programmer for a 27-year-old in Taiwan and recently quit all jobs because corporate culture is making me sick. I apologize if I'm offending anyone but I'm sure anyone in the working class can understand.  I don't feel I'm improving much anymore in the area of programming and having saved a bit of money, I figured I should do something interesting for once: develop a game!

I'm not sure if I posted in the appropriate place, but I was wondering if anyone might have similar stylistic preferences and might be interested in sharing ideas or possibly collaborating.

Being Taiwanese, I naturally watched a lot of Hong Kong movies as a kid such as Wu Xia style and kung fu ones.  I also played a lot of computer games ranging from action to RPG (Street Fighter, Mega Man, and Bioware RPG's to name a few).  I was thinking of creating something like a fighting game with a theme similar to classic Hong Kong style kung fu movies, since there's not much out there of that style.

I prefer to hand-paint my games (tablet and all), such as the shmup prototype I made shown below.

The prototype was built on top of a 2D game engine that I ported to several platforms: win32, linux, Android, several embedded linux set-top-boxes.

Well, that's me. If I've triggered any ideas, please let me know here or at jesil527[at]gmail[dot]com.
