My niche interests.
I don't really consider myself an artist or a programmer (I haven't done much), maybe there's a fediverse instance that could work for me but it's probably too niche even just with those communities.
Not really dealing with your question, but:
Have you seen the video game Carrier Command 2?
Also, on !imageai@sh.itjust.works, I remember having two discussions. One was kicked off by someone generating polyganal-style art:

And then I decided to try my hand at some slightly-similar stuff (probably less what you're looking for):

You might give the programming.dev instance a try for the first couple subjects, as they have an open !programming@programming.dev community that may work for them.
The problem is that they overlap, usually all 3 interlocked. The threads/microblogs I've tried barely get responses (again, federation may be an issue), let alone even answers for even something like Blender. I can use Nim w/o art but I don't have the ideas for it usually (or if I do other issues happen, including just lacking the desire to write for something like a game book).
I've mostly waited for something to improve, but a while ago I started my own simple polygon loader/format and I worked a bit more on that today. I think I made one of my own questions irrelevant (assuming my condition to detect strip vs. fan is correct) and added a couple of other improvements. I don't think it's at a point I'd share it, but I probably could (should) try to make a simple game with it soon.
Though I'd rather have 3D in Raylib (vertex colors not working with Nim bindings, Naylib) or more advanced 2D in Godot 4 (no Nim-lang bindings, and said feature is an unmerged PR that may not be performant enough for full game art).
I can't see your reply on my instance, @tal (currently 1 day ago, still not federated) so not sure if you will see this (or if you do, if I'll see your 2nd reply...). EDIT: I forgot the first
@when I first posted, so I don't know if it actually worked as a mentionIt's visually striking (if you don't look too closely), the 1st bonus image is best but I'd still go with a more minimal style. That and aside from hallucination, I would prefer live-rendered polygons. Infinite scalability is the point.
Here's something I made a while ago, animated eye (note: on my end, Imgur links don't work unless viewed in private mode for whatever reason) though a full game with that style is not currently viable for me for multiple reasons (the feature is 4.X only and still an unmerged PR that may not perform well enough for common use, no Nim-lang bindings yet in 4.X).
I was confused at first, that style of 3D polygonal isn't really uncommon. I don't really buy things (esp not $30 level) and I need a hobby so that's a part of it too*. For 3D art I've done, one of my threads is federated to your instance. Here's the stuff that didn't (these have no textures, only vertex colors):

banana
office plant
Note the 1st and last show a white background in a new tab but the background is transparent (and show as such on Kbin).
*= I mean I have seen some games that have a nice aesthetic, even better if they're more "real" with it (though that is what's hard to find)
