Many people most likely, but you’ll probably have to give more details of said game before most people would think about showing an interest…

There's plenty here who could help you but you'll probably find that giving a bit more information might help things along!

When one of the best ZX artists and one of the best ZX coders on the scene answer your first forum post within an hour,
you're unlikely to have a better opportunity to pitch your idea :D

I have an idea for a new computer game
Then please write us about it.

And I'll also give you some advice.
If you want anybody to join you, your idea must be somehow attracive.
It can't be "let's make a remake of Sonic/Mario/Megaman/whatever" because such an idea is cheap.
Anybody can "create" such idea in one minute.

You need to have some original story or unique gameplay mechanics. The more detailed it is, the better for you.
Generally it can't be "write a game for me, I could be a tester later", you need to contribute something valueable to the project.

I saw the post this morning and was thinking the same, but no time to reply.

Describe your idea and we can help with development, but indeed it is not that we will code your game without your own efforts. BTW I am short in time, my own games are on ho,d at the moment, but troubleshooting is what I can do without coding.

There same here, although I decided to not reply, because "if he doesn't make an effort, why should I" ;)

I don't know who you are. I don't know what your game is. If you are looking for help I can tell you I can't code ASM. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very misspent youth. Skills that make a spectrum beep, and scroll my name. If you describe your game now that'll be the end of it. I will not offer to code in basic. I will not make my spectrum beep or scroll. but if you don't, I will write a few lines of basic ending in go to 10, I will type run, and I will press 'y' when invited to scroll.

Haha! I’ve been out for the rugby and am definitely in “I love you man!” mode.
