The time i hired people to make a game when i was 10

One day, I woke up and decided that I wanted to make a game... for some reason. However, instead of a traditional game, I opted for one on Discord – a Discord bot. As you'd expect, I was about 10 and couldn't handle making Python scripts. So, for some reason, I decided to create a game game, a game like those found on platforms like Steam. I delved into programming with Unity and soon realized I lacked an art direction for the game. So i turned to r/pixelart and began sending private messages to people whose art I liked. This is how I stumbled upon Pixivic (also this was before he became a femboy sooo... yeah... i'm sorry if you didn't want to see that) he was so exited to be featured in a game that he didn't need payment for being in the game, so he made art for the game, and he even helped me brainstorm the lore. The premise was simple: a queen and king resided on an island until the king was kingnapped by a mythical Slovakian dragon. The queen sent her finest knights on a boat to rescue him. There was also a kid aspiring to become a knight, so he went inside the boat's supply barrels. While the boat was sailing to the island, a thunderstorm struck, wrecking the boat and leaving only the kid stranded on the island. So, a literal tween was sent to confront a dragon and rescue the king, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, i continued to interact with individuals from r/pixelart, but, one one else budged, though Pixivic mentioned having a programmer friend who provided some help. But that didn't matter, given my limited knowledge of game programming and that i was also 10, the project amounted to nothing beyond completing the title screen before it got cancelled. I thought i should've mentioned this first, but the last decided name for the game was Rytier, anyway , I retain some images from Pixivic, stored on a Google Drive.
