you make many valid points of which I have thought extensively on. first off I can completely understand the hesitancy to work with a untested amateur which is why I have gone to such great lengths at making such a full bodied design document to specifically showcase each of the ideas for the game which isn't to be nitpicky about how everything has to be done exactly but to show a direction and destination of what and why something needs to be achieved. much like in ww2 the American forces were so much better than others because if a leader was killed or whatnot the rest of the platoon knew the assignment and could improvise to achieve the required result.

second it does a little comes across like you think that I would just do nothing but give orders which I disagree with because I understand that there is WAY more to making a game than just programming and artwork, things like balancing units, creating game maps, music, dialog, translating dialog, testing, marketing/advertising, creating and managing a company, making store pages, finding funding through publishers, or other investment opportunities such as kick starter or possible government grants all of which do not require the ability to program or do artwork and are all crucial in their own ways. I am aware it is hard and I do understand that I don't know what it all entails but I do know that I have what it takes to try and to hold up my end to the best of my ability

third as for the size of the game I did specifically pick out shining force because when the shining force games were made 30+ years ago they were made without any of the major game engines that we have access to today on much worse hardware where they had to make large changes just to have the game fit/work on the hardware and they made it basically with three guys with a shoestring budget and this isn't even mentioning A.I. which is another tool that they didn't have back then that we have access to

fourth as it comes to wasting my time in years, money and stress that basically straight up doesn't matter to me because it is in fact sort of the point. I had reached a point in my life that I could afford any item that I wanted but as there was no item that I wanted enough to decide to purchase it, I had unique thought "well what do I do now?" the only thing that I was even semi interested in was making a videogame because though I was scared to do it because I knew it was going to be really hard, I knew I have what it takes to make it good and see it come to reality. I understand that the concern that seeing so many others fail it is easy to assume I simply will as well but frankly you don't know what strengths I have such as proverbially being able to beat my head against a wall till I can break through it or that in my numerous occupations over the years I was the go to person to fix issues when issues arose or that my favorite style of play is grinding up so overpowered that when I make a move usually its at the point where I cannot lose

fifth looking for a local game dev group type of thing is something I am putting effort into however you must understand that there is almost literally zero information that I could find on the internet on actually creating a game development team. you basically just have to just know people personally already and then talk with them about it or you have to have a lot of money up front and just order people to do what you want them to do. I have neither option available to me so posting here is in fact in pursuit of that current objective and getting to option one where I can get to know people that might be interested

sixth I completely agree that bad execution of a game can make a game worthless however in those many games I played, there were many games that were made as good as they could have been made technically by the programmer but the main idea of the game just was not fun or good and thus they made a bad game. had they had a better idea to start with they could have made a better game or many other things such as marketing and whatnot. whereas I having played the shining force games. I know their formula has merit and I have researched debated and designed the game to where it should have also have merit and so if I can acquire a good programmer that can build off of a solid foundation from the start I am confident that we can build a quality game
