Looking for project to contribute to

Hello

I am an experienced rom-hacker, but would like to distance myself from doing such modification to unfree game.

For context, the game I'm most experimented with (and released multiple hacks, with various teams) is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, where my experience is mostly regarding custom cutscenes using a DSL language as well as reverse engineering and a bunch of other coding (plus stitching custom background when needed. And a bunch of other stuff that tend to be complex and interesting).

As such, I would like to find a project thay is welcome to contribution and with a focus on storytelling. I am myself not good at making story, but I like implementing others idea.

Also, I have a preference for Rust. I have no problem finding games in Rust (Veloren), but story-focused ones are harder to come by.

marius851000 I have no problem finding games in Rust (Veloren), but story-focused ones are harder to come by.

One of the issues Veloren actually needs help with is a quest system. I find that somewhat related to story telling, even though it might not be a grand overarching story line in an largely procedurally generated game like Veloren.

Hi and welcome! It's always a pleasure to have a new community member because this forum is not extremely active (but we have some activity). The things you have coded so far (ROM hacking, reverse engineering etc.) are a bit different than free software coding.

I know this is somewhat different, but I learned a bunch abou this game architecture and choices. Also, I do have some experience contributing to OpenSource, but beside NixPKGS, it's mostly personal project that end up on GitHub and is rately usefull for others.

(otherwise, I'm also a professional Java programmer and toyed around Godot previously)

I believe that FLARE could greatly profit from getting their campaign a bit dusted off.
