Sadly, cannot help with the meeting in person thing but I came to advertise my group Pyromaniac Games and saw it's been mostly dead since my last post here. You seem to be the only one here and necroing old threads. We're hoping to grow our small little group to help us and people like us in finding people we need to bring our ideas to life. The two big projects I know of in our group right now is a fangame being done through BYOND called Shadows of Erdrick and I am personally working on a life-sim text game. If you want to join, we are most active on Discord https://discord.gg/tcyRvdy but we also have a Facebook as well https://www.facebook.com/groups/1041476006289324/about. We do hope you will join us ^.^
