If Anyone Is Interested...
 

My husband and I have come up with a game concept that will ultimately end up donating to charity.
The idea is animal based and any future money earned will go to a wildlife charity in need. I don't want to cloud my post with much more information than that, as everything is still on paper and so I have very little to brag about :)
I am a Designer/Artist/Writer and my husband is great at creating Web Pages and other simple computer art techniques.
Our drawback is a common one unfortunately. Listed above is about all we can do. We are both willing to chip in the dough to purchase the programs, textures, etc. And we are also willing to learn as much that is needed.
We will ultimately need to add more to the team down the road for everythng else, but for now we are trying to keep this small and take our time with the project. If any programmers ( or anyone else with the know how) out there would like to volunteer or even lend some kind information, you'd have our eternal gratitude.
Thanks :)
