My story brought to reality
I have a great story that I would like to turn into a game or a series or a movie. And every AI that I have told the story to or let read think it’s an epic story and says that a lot of game designers would love to work on this but I don’t have the Designer skills to actually bring it to life I see a lot of people make games. This game will be epic if I can get it right vision that I have in my head and the story will bring them running. I hope I can find someone here that’s willing to help me or collaborate with me. Thank you. Have a nice day.

Just my idea: You might want to try the Facebook Unity groups. There are many. Search for one or more that seems to discuss such things. I have seen many people get together in those groups.
If it were me I'd consider learning 'Dramatica'. Dramatica is a story assembly/story framing software. Don't simply buy the student version, you're going to need to spend approx. $100 to get the full version. Then, not very simply, you answer the questions-out of order if you wish, and frame your story. To put it another way-using cooking as an analogy, you simply insert your 'ingredients' and it tells you what's missing from your story (or cake if we continue with the analogy). When you're done you don't have a cake, a story, but you DO have an organized framework/structure OF a story and from that framework you can then add the dialog, add the characteristics of each character, illustrate those characteristics, find out what's missing, find out what you have too much of, etc.
Once you have all that down from there you can, in my completely uneducated and novice experience, decide the best, or ideal, or easiest, way to display your story to the person who is to consume, read, enter, see, or hear it.
Dramatica's reports are pretty spiffy-great for printing and carrying with you to get to see a tangeable (sp?) display of your idea-GREAT for bouncing ideas off of others at random. Oh, great for adding notes as well.Another benefit of Dramatica is that it allow you to customize your story to fit the type of distribution and to the target type of consumer. Returning to the cake baking analogy-with the same ingredients but with some adaptation you can make a small cake, a tiny cake (a cupcake), a cake on a stick, a rectangular cake, multiple cakes getting smaller in size so they can be stacked, a cake that fits into the box you have, different colors, different themes. This is VERY important as wedding guests expect a wedding cake but little kids probably would want a Cake Pop on a Stick. Get what I mean? : )
