I don't know if this might interest you but if you have a browser-based game my cousin is a PM at https://www.sportsbook-software.com and they're looking for basically anything that can be monetized using a stake/rewards model, eg if you can add a game room to your game with support for small transactions you'll be making a killing.

I might be interested, but this group sounds too "serious" for me. Ie i'm serious, but i have a full time job, and i'm obsessive so i'm yakshaving the foundations of my projects. I'm less concerned with the final game, and more concerned with building a platform that helps me efficiently create. While the game is my goal, i focus on the platform because i feel solo devs have a ton of overhead. I figure if i can optim…

We should create a group for developers who will never finish their game.

I also work full time and also have other hobbies, plus I really don't get motivated by the proper process of developing a series of games with growing complexity, so instead I keep designing my dream game as I'm working on it. So, I dunno if I will ever finish. But hey, if I wasn't chipping away at it I would probably just be playing more games instead, so why not?

My wife actually suggested I join some group, but I suspected the exact feelings the OP has - serious developers rightfully would not want me in a group :) Maybe there's potential in a hobby-slacker group :)
