I have the hardest time getting my local college to even respond to emails. My interest/priority is definitely not the same as theirs.

My Game Design and Game Development courses only exist because my predecessor partnered with the local community college to offer them as dual credit. I didn't have a masters when I started at my current position so they became general classes.

When I got my masters two years ago, my district happened to be pushing dual enrollment classes so I randomly got printouts of course descriptions for colleges offering it. While I may reinstate the game related classes as dual enrollment, I wasn't fond of the curriculm I was left and have completely changed it. I searched for colleges offering dual enrollment in my state and ended up finding a school across the state with CS classes and a CS / Statistics crossover class I liked so I'll describe what I went through with that. I had to apply with a resume, college transcripts and descriptions of my experience. Since most of my experience is with CS (both degrees are in it and 17 years teaching it), they followed up asking about my familarity with Statistics to confirm I knew enough despite not taking a Statistics course.

That is interesting, do you know if there were state standards in PA when the courses were set up? Or was it strictly a college articulation thing back then?

I recommend articulation agreements over dual-enrollment because it does not require us to be an employee of the JC, and it allows us to continue to teach our courses during the normal bell schedule versus dual enrollment in the afternoons/evenings.

I found that getting in front of the respective department chair at the JC was the hardest part. I emailed a few times, then called, and in some instances just showed up on campus to a class they were teaching to get face time. Start with your local JC and find intro classes that already align with what you are doing. If they give you the cold shoulder, move your radius outward to the next closest JC and establish a relationship with them, but send the first JC an email saying "we are still open to working together but have moved on to such and such school..." to see if you can convince them to see the light and actually respond to inquiries.

You may have to have agreements with different JCs depending on your/their course descriptions; I believe two pathways on my campus have agreements with different JCs for different courses because that is what aligned best.

Again, physically go to the school with your course outline and final project samples to handoff to the necessary people if they don't respond to calls or email.

I went to the AME Conference in Burbank a couple of years ago and there was a session dedicated to just that. Some agreed with you because it was easier to start. Other folks said they got around that by something like they teach the class like normal for dual enrollment, but the projects and assessments were created in consultation with JC teachers and maybe once or twice a class, the professor came to the school to teach a lesson. 

From what I understand, many students in my school are searching for ways to enter college as a freshman already with some college credits. Do articulation agreements do that? I know dual enrollment does. I know some dual enrollment teachers prefer it though because they can have the standards and expectations of a community college rather than ones of their principal, which they might not find rigorous enough, also grading for the same reason.

In any case, it's a heavy lift whichever path you take.

Yes, articulation earns college credits through CATEMA (Career and Technology Education Management Application)  in California.  I think it may have some partner Community Colleges elsewhere.
