Looking for Programmer for a Project

Short Version: This is my most prominent and developed project yet, and i need some help pushing it further. Anyone want in?

Long Version: Hello to anyone who sees this, I have something i would like to say.

A brief bit of background first, I'm a former Megaman 8 Bit Deathmatch player, and that games story mode is by far the greatest doom-related thing I've ever taken in. Its one of my favorite pieces of media and i met many of my good friends there.

I've also been dabbling in game development for years now, but have never had any of my projects "stick" for a long time. However, that finally changed, and i finally have something i want to bring all the way. It started as a concept based on ideas I've liked for a while, and now i know what i want it to be, a spiritual successor to what i believe is the greatest doom mod ever made.

I've hit a roadblock however, i am not a very capable programmer, I've programmed a few simple things, but it took days for me to understand the simplest actions to take. I'm also completely lost when it comes to coding complex logic behind certain objects.

The base is there however, as i did create it. I've been making Sprites, writing concepts for mechanics, Worldbuilding, and while i did say i wasn't good at it, i did manage to get a functional "game" (at least technically) running in UZDoom, the engine i chose.

Now then, my question, is anyone, who either sees or shares this, a capable ZScript programmer? Truth be told I've been looking for one for a while now, but its such a specific language for such a specific task. While i would prefer someone with good experience, i'll take anyone willing to learn and listen to my ideas at this point.

If anyone wants to help, please let me know.

Can someone create Widows Theme from Hollow Knight: Silksong for the expedition?

I think it'd be really funny if we were able to play the theme song of a Weaver, while playing as a Weaver. IDK how saving songs work but if we are able to mass save it on a planet in the expedition that would be ideal.

I think it would be really funny if that one sideways world by Wand of Sparking was added as a special seed.

Since 1.4.6 has been announced, i figured its time i get my thoughts out on this.

This map, as ridiculous as it is, if made into a special seed could be REALLY fun for people like me who are somewhat bored of standard terrain gen. It makes the game feel like a metroidvania (and as a huge fan of the many big metroidvanias out there, this is a huge plus) while still keeping the core sandbox experience.

As for how to make it a special seed and not just a copy paste of the work WoS did (which is honestly somewhat impressive in retrospect, kudos to him) id say the biomes need to be synced with where they actually are on the map first and foremost. Also, Notice how in the second image the biomes are cut off slightly, this is because Wand couldn't fit the whole world into the size he chose (the height of a large world with the width of a small worlds height). To my knowledge, world size isn't too too difficult to modify internally, so the world size should be kept the same, flipped on its side of course.

To keep the core feeling of the challenge though, not everything should be flipped on its side, plants, trees. interactable, enemies, and of course the player should be kept upright (visually at least). Maybe there should be a platform at the dungeon entrance so that the Cultists don't immediately fall to their doom after golem is defeated.

As for what the seed should be called, my idea is "youflippeditright" for it to spawn on the left side, and "youflippeditwrong" for it to spawn on the right. This is supposed to be a vague reference to the fact that, despite the tree in the thumbnail being anchored to the left side of the screen, the "bottom" of the world spawned on the right side.

If re-logic ever actually takes this idea in though, they can do whatever they want with it, I'll be happy regardless.
