Hi there,
I'm actually working on a top-down survival horror game and have a small team volunteering their time as well. A game writer, music composer, programmer(myself), business guy. All unpaid for now, but we are working on a game that we hope to monetize upon release, or over time. We need a pixel artist to help out, who can also contribute visual ideas. I don't think the art will be too demanding as I'm approaching it from a simplistic art style and might be a good learning experience for you if you're interested. I can do some art myself, but is not my core interest and hoping to find someone that can fill that gap.
The game will have elements inspired from Hotline Miami (although not as extreme in terms of visuals), and also modelled after classics like the early Resident Evil series, Diablo (without the looting-focused mechanics), classic Doom, and similar games. It's not a small project, but also not that big either I think. The goal is to make a game that will take a person a couple of hours to finish. It may also take a good couple of months to finish or make progress, so I'm not promising any quick timelines, but one way or another it will be finished as this is a passion project for me.
I have a preview test version of the game I can share with you so you can get an idea of the gameplay mechanics, art style, sound and general vibe.
Let me know if you're interested. I'm not on reddit, and have a discord. Maybe just create a new discord account or use the browser version if yours doesn't work. Alternatively we could try communicate through alternate means. Not sure what else people would use, but I'm sure we can work something out.
