[PAID] Need team for Online Dating Game

Hi,

My name is Rhys, I am the owner of the new company Alternate Games. We're most known for After Work, which we made a Kickstarter for. You can look up the game on our Blue Sky and Instagram. The game was widely liked; However, we didn't have the resources and knowledge available to make a successful Kickstarter. We had to shut down the game.

The video game is in a rough state, but we don't want to give up. We want a new team of people in which we would pay. Because of the state of our company, we can't pay much, but we will try. This will be discussed.

THE GAME:

The next game we would like to make is a gamified version of dating online. Basically we want to make a multiplayer game where people can match and chat with each other. They can "date" through the game and meet new people. Other details aren't made yet. We would like to work as a team to come up with the final thoughts and ideas. Especially since we need this to be within a reasonable scope.

OUR GOAL:

To make a new Kickstarter for this new game. We need a trailer and other assets to sell the game. So, we don't need a playable game right now. Just something to show off to those who are interested. We do need a team, however, to show that we can complete the game. It'd be nice to also show progress shots of us programming the game to post on social media.

What we have:
-An artist

-A game designer.

What we urgently need:

-Another game designer

  • Mostly so that we can finalize the thoughts of the game and maybe make a GDD with details.

What we need down the road:
-Programmer
-UI artist
-Animator
-Music
-etc

We're accepting applications from everyone and will get in contact with people when we need them. Each person, because this is for a paid gig, will require an interview. If you don't want to do an interview, I would not apply.

If you are interested contact me through Discord themoderndeath.

[RevShare] Looking for a 3D Modeler for a first-person boomer-shooter game

Hi INAT!

I’m a solo amateur developer working on a first-person shooter game I’m building with GDevelop 5. The game draws heavy inspiration from classic “boomer” shooters like Wolfenstein.

I’ve been conceptualizing the game’s design for a few weeks now, and everything is almost ready to start development.

I’m open to different ideas and perspectives—after all, we’ll be developing this game together.

The project is in the early prototype phase within the engine.

I’m just looking for a 3D modeller who can make low-poly models for enemies, accessories, environmental elements, and weapons. The game uses GLB files, so you may need to be familiar with that. I’m not skilled with 3D modeling softwares that requires a steep learning curve.

This is a revenue-sharing project. I currently have no budget—I’m a highschool student. If the game sells, the revenue will be split fairly based on the revenue share.

PORTFOLIO: This is the first proper project I can talk about. It’s in the early prototype phase; there’s no solid version yet.

If any of this interests you, send me a DM or leave a comment below

[For Hire] Fiction, Fantasy, Game Content - Atmospheric Writer with a Background in Psychology ($0.10/word)

The song played low on the radio. The crackling sound a sweet companion to the blacktop ahead. The sun was a brilliant orange upon that blue horizon. Through a kaleidoscope window where the horizon stretched endless we drove on.

Hey, y'all. I am AshfallWrites!

I am a fiction and fantasy writer, specializing in the architecture of the surreal. My work focuses on giving characters meanings, on letting the plot breathe, letting the agenda build naturally as the story progresses. Unreliable narrators, existential dread, surreal loops of fiction, a love story that inhibits a world that feels like the town five miles down that dirt road at the end of the lane – I love creating worlds that people fall in love with. That people can curl up with, beside the hearth of a dying fire.

Portfolio & Past Work (along with ToS)here

THE OFFERS

  • Academia based Insights: As a researcher in life with a background in Psychology, I bring a clinical level of detail to mental states, trauma narratives, and characters that feel organic, real.
  • Atmospheric Prose: I prioritize mood and sensory world-building. I do not just write plots; but craft environments to linger in the subliminal.
  • Surrealist Edge with a Touch of Romance: Because let's be real, who does not yearn to immerse themselves in reality-bending concepts, where characters break time in order to save their chosen one, or even incur the pleasures of the flesh upon a moonlit edge of the Abyss.
  • Game Content (Quest & Lore): Wanna see your world expanded like Elden Ring, want players to be fully enthralled by a questline akin to the Baron's questline. Or maybe you're creating something truly unique and you want a writer who understands the importance great characters can have that translates your world into something grander (cought Silksong, Expedition 33 cough). Whatever the reason, however the need, I am there to help you!
  • World Bible: Want to see your world taking shape? I design intuitive and sprawling world bibles which would expand the rules of the universe you imagined! This includes aspects of the foundation of the story, such as: Core Mythos & Lore, the Sandbox (setting of the world), Factions and System Mechanics, and many more, all packaged into one highly accesible format.
  • Literary Pleasure Reading: Writing pieces of content that makes a reader blush pretty red on a train ride, or make them sigh in pleasure beside a fireside in a log cabin, I consider to be one of the most accomplished sentiments of mine as an author. Be it straight or LGBTQ+, I write for all.

PRICING

  • Short Stories (Fantasy/Fiction or Otherwise): $0.10/word (for a 1000 word story it would be $100).
  • Game Quest Design & Lore: Starting at $100.
  • Flash Fiction / Short Scenes: Starting at $20 (approx 400-500 words).
  • Deep-Dive World-Building Docs (1,500+ words): $150 / Inquire for custom project rates.
  • Custom: DM me if you have some custom requests or specific criteria you want in your stories.

(Note: Base rates include up to 1 round of major & 2 rounds of minor revisions).

Hit me up in my DMs or just comment in this post with what you're looking for!

[RevShare] Looking for 3D Modeler, Sound designer, 2D Artist (Quake inspired game)

Hi everyone!

I'm currently developing a Quake-inspired roguelike shooter and I'm looking for a 3D Modeler, Sound Designer, and 2D Artist to join the project.

I already have a working prototype with core gameplay systems implemented, and I'd be happy to share a build and discuss the project in more detail on Discord. If you're interested, we can also playtest it together (Steam is required, as the current build uses Steam multiplayer).

Project Details

  • Engine: Unity
  • Version Control: Unity Version Control
  • Multiplayer: Mirror + Steamworks
  • Languages: English or Italian

Compensation

This is a revenue-share (RevShare) project. I currently have no budget for upfront payments, so any revenue generated by the game will be split among team members based on their overall contribution to the project.

Time Commitment

I'm not looking for people who can dedicate huge amounts of time every week. Real life comes first, and I understand that work, school, exams, and personal commitments can get in the way. If you need to step away from the project for a few weeks or even a month, that's completely fine. I'm mainly looking for reliable people who are interested in contributing whenever they have time available.

Portfolio

This is my first game project, so I don't have a portfolio to show. Instead, I can provide a playable build of the current prototype so you can see the progress that's already been made before deciding whether you'd like to join.

Feel free to contact me on Discord if you're interested or would like more information!

[Hobby] Im trying to build my portfolio as a 2d artist and animator. But I want a gamedev

Hiya, sorry if this is the wrong sub, but Ive experimented with putting vectors into Godot so I'm confident enough my own illustrations will work. I was hoping to make a 2.5D game. (It doesn't need to be a super complex game)

I was originally gonna post in the game jam sub but there rules says don't ask for a team, so I apologise if this is also the wrong sub.

If your a game dev (any engine), maybe we could make something fun? :)

I do 2D illustrations and vectors/animation. Learning blender and want to build my portfolio

Thank you :)

[Hobby] Engineering student looking for people to learn Unity and build projects with

Hey, I'm an engineering student looking for someone (or a few people) to learn Unity and build stuff with.

I've tried learning solo and it's rough. What I actually want is to go through tutorials together, ask each other questions, and figure out problems as a team. I'm also into general engineering projects, so if you're keen on that too then even better.

Main thing is I want people who'll actually stick with it. I've had friends start and then disappear after a week, so I'm looking for someone with the same motivation who'll consistently show up.

About me:

  • Engineering student, pretty new to Unity
  • I'm in Australia (AEST), so similar timezone is ideal for doing stuff live, but honestly I'm open to anyone keen
  • Looking for something long-term, not a one-off

If that sounds like you, comment or DM me.

[Hobby] Looking for a pixel animator to work on a game in Unity

Hey, guys!

I’ve started learning how to make 2D games in Unity, but I’ve run into a problem. It’s really important to me that my project doesn’t look like a neuroslope. I tried creating the main character’s sprite using pixellab.ai and editing it by hand, but I realized I won’t be able to do the animations on my own. The AI does a really poor job, so I’m looking for a beginner pixel animator who could help create movement and idle animations to start with. This might be a useful portfolio project for someone.

[HOBBY] Writer Offer | Worldbuilding | Narrative Design

Hi! I'm DonaldNuke.

I'm looking to join a hobby or indie game project as a writer. My goal is to gain experience, improve as a writer, and contribute to a team.

Most of my writing so far has been for personal projects — I've spent a lot of time developing worlds, characters, magic systems, cultures, and stories, and now I'd like to work on something with other people.
PORTFOLIO: this is my first project and do not have a portfolio of any kind.

I enjoy discussing ideas just as much as writing them. I like finding solutions to story problems, connecting different parts of a world, and making sure everything feels consistent.

I can help with:

Worldbuilding
Lore
Character writing
Dialogue
Story structure
Brainstorming
Narrative design

Brazilian Portuguese is my native language, but I'm comfortable communicating in English. I'm also happy to do a writing test if needed.

Right now, I'm mainly looking for volunteer or hobby projects. If you think I'd be a good fit, feel free to send me a DM.

I'm open to both small and long-term projects. Even if it's outside writing, I'm always happy to help with creative work when I can.

Looking for a Game Dev Partner

Hi! I\`m a starting game artist and solo developer atm am want to produce games that are worthwhile and fun to play. I'm currently building and planning out a small co-op roguelike as a first project because I want to prioritize making a game over big long term dream projects.

I'm looking for a Partner/programmer who's interested in building multiple games together over the coming years, not just this one. I have zero funds to my name to pay but I hope to whoever is interested will work with me and create games that will soon eventually put money in the table.

[Hobby][Revshare] Join our small Team for an Ant Colony Sim/RTS

Dear Artists,

My programmer and I are looking for an artist to work on my/our Ant Colony Sim/RTS game.

It will be a 2d game in Godot and there is going to be a lot of work to do especially with the art and animations. I dont have specific plans on how everything should look like so there will be a lot of creative freedom.

If you are just starting to get into digital art and want to learn on the way, that is fine with me but be prepared to work on your skills. I could also imagine paying a small price of around 10€ per sprite but not more. Also we can talk about Revshare.

So what has to be done?:

- Ant sprites

- environment sprites

- UI

- Animations (that will be so cool :D)

- everything that needs design and art in a video game

I need from you:

- creativity and passion (NO AI)

- willingness to cooperate

- Willingness to learn together

- BE DEPENDABLE! (i hate when i cant trust your word)

- Be flexible with your work (there will be a lot of reiteration and chaning and that is just part of the process)

Heads up: this is passion Project. I do not expect huge profits from this (if any). But i do want to build a good game that finally fills the market with the feeling of ANTS :D.

AI IS NOT ALLOWED.

[Hobby] [Free] 15yo complete beginner looking for a team/mentor to get micro-tasks and learn (Code, Blender, Video editing).

Hi everyone! I’m trying to find my passion in game development. I am a complete beginner in programming, 3D, video editing and e.d.c, but I want to learn all of it by doing real tasks.

About me:

-I have no game ideas of my own.

-I’m the kind of guy who gets super motivated when there’s a clear, short-term goal to hit. Big, abstract goals like "just learn everything" don't really work for me, but give me a concrete micro-task, and I’ll dive straight into it.

-I can help with anything: basic C# coding, simple Blender modeling, video editing/montage for your social media, or game testing.

I am looking for a team or a mentor who can break down the work into small, clear tasks for me. In return, you get an assistant who is eager to work and close your daily routine tasks.

EDIT: Thanks everyone! I’ve already been invited to a project

[Hobby] 2D-artist looking to collab with people on projects

Hello! I’m an 18-year old self-taught artist. Recently, I graduated high school, and I would love to work on a game project or any other type of project with somebody (mostly for fun and to get more practice). Also would like to get more social experiences because I struggle to even text people, I’m a very nervous and introverted person. Looking for an inclusive and safe space :D

My style is mostly anime, and I’m more used to drawing characters. I’m not as good at backgrounds.

Portfolio: I don’t have a curated portfolio as I have not worked on any types of projects before. However, I can show examples of my unfinished wips/sketches.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12Mrmpt3eS6_N46_7vUdBpDNPMsTx77q3
(If you have any questions, I’ll try my best to give a good answer!)

Also, I’d prefer to work on SFW projects, and as I’m going to college soon, I’d prefer projects with more lax and stress-free deadlines!
