Waluigi Fangame - Looking for Animator Collaboration

[PixelPurple]

Hey everyone, I'm working on a Waluigi-focused fangame in GameMaker Studio 2, and I'm looking for someone who enjoys pixel animation and wants to collaborate on the project. It's a 2D platformer with expressive movement, exaggerated poses, and a cartoony style. I'm trying to make the gameplay feel like a mix of Wario Land 4 and Pizza Tower. I already have: 
. a working player controller
. several animations (run, dash, jump, idle, etc.) but I'm planning to remake and improve many of them. 
. a simple small sandbox

I'm mainly looking for:
. animators who can help create new character animations
. possibly effects animation like dust clouds, jumps and hits
. optional: help polishing existing animations
. I'm also planning to include short, simple cutscenes, so help with those would be appreciated but not required.

What I can provide: 
. clear references
. existing sprite sheets
. direction for movement style
. consistent communication
. a working build to test animations in-game

Why Join?
If you like Mario fangames, pixel art, or animation, this is a fun project with lots of personality. I'm actively developing it and posting progress, so you won't be joining a dead project.

You can reply here or DM me on MFGG or Discord for more information, whatever suits you more. I can also share gameplay clips or more sprites if you want to see more.

Thanks for reading - and if you're interested, I'd love to collaborate.
