Beginner Platformer Game Development Guidance

I'm seeking guidance to create my first game project on Freelancer. I want to develop a platformer game for PC with a pixel art visual style. As a beginner, I'm looking for an experienced freelancer who can help me brainstorm and decide on a project idea that I can realistically complete within a few months to a year.

Key Requirements:
- Assist in brainstorming and selecting a feasible platformer game idea
- Provide guidance on the development process suitable for a beginner
- Help outline a project plan and timeline
- Offer advice on tools and resources for pixel art and game development

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Experience in game development, particularly platformers
- Familiarity with pixel art design
- Ability to mentor and provide clear, actionable guidance
- Patience and good communication skills to support a beginner

I will pay $10 if I decide to use your idea and may hire you for future sessions as I progress with the project. I'm excited to embark on this journey and look forward to your creative input!
