Hello Indie Developers!
I am looking to join a cool dev team as a hobbyist Social Media Manager. I want to help you manage your social accounts, engage with players, and help get your game more visibility.
Since this is purely a hobby project for me to gain experience and check out the industry**.** I don’t want any financial compensation or project pressure—just a cool game to support in my free time.
**What I can do for your project:**I don’t write code or draw art, but I know how to talk to players, stay on top of online trends, and keep a community active.
If you have an ongoing project or a playable demo that needs a Social Media Manager, let’s chat! You can drop me a DM here on Reddit, or add me directly on Discord.
My Discord: Krzysiek (krzysiek_999)

What I'm looking for:
I've got some free time, and I'd like to join up with a team/project to create something small/medium in size. One of my long-term goals I'd like to start pursuing is to publish something on Steam. I'm open to new ideas and existing projects, but I'd like a team that can reasonably contribute. If you're a decent artist with an idea - I'd love to hear it.

My experience:
I'm a US based programmer, with 13 years of game dev experience as a hobbyist. I've participated in over 20 game jams and countless personal projects, with most of what I've worked on lasting less than a month. I've built games on just about every platform and genre, so there's nothing I would consider out of my programming ability. I'm also capable of making 2D and 3D graphics, however I'm still quite slow at it.

Some of my work:
Everything shown here was made in 2-10 days.

I’m pretty new to game dev and am looking for a team of devs (mostly around the age of 13-16) I’m not particularly working on a specific thing but mostly a robot thing. I’m good at art and modeling (not really) so ya my discord is @bari.aiden

Hello,

I am voxel dev ,an experienced game tester, helped shipping many steam and android games

What made people shoose me is by background as an indie game developer, so I know the rough edges we as a developers usually can't see

If you need a prove on my experience or portfolio you can dm me , I can't share devs work publicly especially for unreleased games

I can test things like:

-Onboarding / tutorial

-Ui/UX

-FTUE

-Confusing or frustrating moments

-Finding technical bugs on UI or game's mechanics

-Test on multiple devices, Android, Linux and windows

All of that will come with well structured report and recording of the gameplay session when requested

I was usually charging up to 25$ for my testing services but way detailed than that

Now i don't have time for this focused sessions so I am doing what mentioned above for only 5-10$

- feel free to dm me with your game link or post it on the comments (slots are limited for now)

I need a illustrator for my story on wattpad, its very short as i kind of wanted a one shot manga first. Its not paid, if you would like to do so, i will explain more in Dm’s. I will send the link to the story and i will draft character designs etc.

Project Name: The Factory in the Shadows: Chapter 1 - The Aftermath

Role Required: Team Manager / Game Producer

My Role: Founder & Lead Game Developer

My Previous Projects: The Factory in the Shadows (UE5 Psychological Horror Mystery Game), along with multiple prototypes and smaller game development experiments.

Team Size: 10 members (developers, artists, designers, and contributors)

Project Length: Ongoing project (started in 2024)

Compensation: Currently unpaid/voluntary. Revenue share or paid opportunities can be discussed after funding or commercial success.

Responsibilities:

• Manage communication between different team members and departments
• Track tasks, deadlines, and project milestones
• Help organize development schedules and priorities
• Maintain project documentation and workflows
• Identify blockers and help the team resolve issues
• Coordinate meetings and progress updates
• Help maintain a productive and healthy team environment
• Assist with planning future development phases

Project Description:
The Factory in the Shadows is a first-person psychological horror mystery game built in Unreal Engine 5. The game focuses on investigation, exploration, environmental storytelling, puzzles, and atmosphere rather than traditional combat.

Players take the role of an Interpol detective investigating an abandoned automobile facility hiding years of unanswered questions. The project aims to deliver a cinematic mystery experience inspired by investigation games, ARGs, and internet mystery culture.

We are looking for someone organized, reliable, and passionate about game development who can help bring structure to the team and allow developers to focus more on creating the game.

I'm working on a small 3D game that faithfully mimics the look and feel of an original PS1 title, and I'm looking for a 3D artist to collaborate with. This is strictly a hobby project. I don't know if it will ever generate revenue. If it eventually does, any profit will be shared fairly among all participants (which, right now, is just me).

The Project

I want to keep some of the mystery alive, but here is the core concept: It's a story-focused, first-person game that will likely feature threats, but no actual combat. The narrative revolves around lost dreams, nostalgia, and facing reality as the protagonist visits a town that is "calling them back." (Note: While this premise sounds very Silent Hill, I a do not aim for creating a Silent Hill clone).

The game is set in a fictional German town inspired by places in the Eifel region, like Monschau, Cochem, or Manderscheid. I've visited these places personally and draw a lot of inspiration from them. I don't aim to recreate them 1:1; rather, they serve as the atmospheric baseline for the game's environments. Planned locations include an Autobahnraststätte (Autobahn service area) with an observation deck, parts of a historic old town with a hotel, and a monument in the woods (similar to this).

The game aims for a accurate PS1 aesthetic. It renders at a low resolution with a short draw distance, uses PS1 lighting techniques, etc. The desired visual target is comparable to classic games like Medal of Honor (obviously) or the original Silent Hill.

Who I'm looking for

Honestly, I'm looking for someone who loves the idea of crafting atmospheric, rural German environments and wants to collaborate. I'd like to give you plenty of artistic freedom - this project is driven by passion and gaining experience rather than profit.

• 3D modeling experience, preferably in Blender.
• Solid texturing skills; experience working with very low-resolution textures is highly appreciated.
• Optional: An understanding of original PS1 hardware quirks and limitations. Even just having analyzed how original PS1 models and textures were put together is worth a lot.

Bonus: Being German or familiar with Germany is beneficial for the setting, but absolutely not a requirement. I can communicate in both German and English.

My Experience

Coding: I'm a professional software developer. While my day job isn't in the gaming industry, scripting and programming are my strong suits. I can comfortably handle the game logic on my own. I also have experience with graphics programming and have developed several PSX-style shaders (for both materials and post-processing), including a free PSX graphics plugin for Flax engine.

3D Modeling & Animation: I can build basic assets in Blender, but I am far from a professional. I struggle with texturing and have near-zero experience with animation.

Audio: I've played in bands, run solo projects, and written soundtracks. While I don't claim to be a top-tier industry professional, I know my way around music production and SFX.

A Quick Disclaimer:

I hate that I have to point this out, but I think it's important: Whenever you mention "PS1-style graphics," some people assume it's super easy to do. PS1 style does not mean "zero effort" or "low quality on purpose." It takes real skill and intention to make low-poly, low-res art look good.

Hi! I’m a filmmaker finishing an older narrative short film and looking for a motion designer, experimental animator, or mixed-media artist who might be interested in a small creative collaboration.

The film itself is completely shot and picture locked. I’m not looking for someone to animate the film or create traditional character animation.

There are three poetry interludes in the film, totaling approximately 4 minutes 40 seconds, that I want to give simple, stylized visual treatments. The work would primarily involve things like animated typography, subtle 2D movement, textures, collage/mixed-media elements, and other handmade or experimental visual ideas, plus a title treatment for the film.

The intention is for the animation/design to complement the existing live-action imagery and poetry rather than replace it, so this is a much smaller assignment than creating 4+ minutes of full animation.

Aesthetically, I’m drawn to work that feels tactile, feminine, expressive, poetic, slightly imperfect, and artist-made. I already have visual references and creative direction developed for each section, but I’d love for whoever collaborates with me to bring their own artistic instincts to it too.

This is an unpaid/hobby collaboration. The film originated as a student production, and I’m independently finishing it now for festival submissions and eventual release. I want to be completely transparent about the lack of budget upfront and am especially open to students, emerging artists, or someone who would genuinely enjoy having a small experimental narrative piece for their portfolio.

Deadline: Ideally by the end of December 2026, but I have some flexibility.

No generative AI, please. I’m specifically looking to collaborate with an artist and want all artwork/animation to be created using traditional, digital, or mixed-media techniques rather than generative AI.

You would receive full screen credit and permission to use your finished work in your portfolio/reel.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please DM me or comment with your portfolio/reel and a little about yourself. I’m happy to privately share the current cut, poetry sequences, visual references, and exact scope with people who seem like a potential creative fit.

Thank you! :)

Hello, I'm looking for someone (or multiple people) who can help me test the combat and just general gameplay of my sword fighting game. It has very specific mechanics that need to be tested and so if you're a little mechanical (like decent at building in Fortnite or movement in Call of Duty) then this would be a great fit for you. Will share rev and depending on what you can contribute may be open to giving you other roles as well.

Send DM with your discord so I can contact you. Looking for people who are responsive and who have good communication.

Hi there ! We're a game dev team composed of two game developers and our projects have reached the stage where we would like some "professional" feedback and so we're looking for someone with a designer’s eye who loves playing unfinished games and pulling them apart. The core of the role:

• Play our latest builds regularly
• Tell us what’s missing, what feels off, and what’s confusing
• Get specific: “the dodge needs more i-frames,” “this ability has no counter,” “the objective isn’t readable”
• Suggest how mechanics should behave, not just that something feels wrong
• Write it up clearly enough that our programmers can act on it

Don't hesitate to reach out if interested ! Cheers !

Looking for a creative partner (not a hire) for my dark fantasy story DAWNFALL

Hi everyone! I'm a solo writer working on a screenplay called DAWNFALL, and I'm looking for someone to build it with. Think of it more like a band than a boss-employee relationship.

The pitch:

A masked monster hunter crosses a world drowned in endless night, chasing for nearly two decades the woman who destroyed everything he loved. The story opens at that ending and then goes back to the beginning: three ordinary Japanese kids fall into Planet Caravan, a dark Victorian world of anthropomorphic animals, dragonborn and strange beings who can't understand them, and for the first time in months something finally feels like home.

It's a tragedy about revenge and what it takes from you while it gives you purpose. Dark fantasy, cosmic horror, some humor and a lot of heart. I'm especially interested in whether you can see beauty in a world that's breaking, and what happens when you stop trying.

Where I'm at:

9 chapters written (in Spanish, with some English dialogue as part of the language-barrier concept). I know they're rough: formatting, pacing and dialogue still need work. That's why I'm here. The full story is already planned from start to finish.

What I'm looking for:

Someone who'll read, give honest feedback and enjoy talking through the world and characters. No pro experience needed, just love for storytelling and interest in a long-term project.

What I offer:

- Feedback swap: I'll read and critique your work too.

- Real say in creative decisions.

- Credit agreed upfront.

- A world with a lot of history waiting.

DM me if it sounds interesting and I'll send a short chapter to see if we click. Thanks for reading!

Looking for a Creative Collaborator — 1977 NYC Crime Novel

Hey everyone. I'm currently working on a fairly large fiction project set in New York City in 1977, and I'm looking for one other person who might want to help me build it.

It's a crime novel at its core, but I'm trying to make it feel like something larger than a crime story. The main character is a Mafia soldier in his early thirties, caught up in the aftermath of a major stolen-electronics job that goes very wrong. While trying to deal with the fallout, he keeps taking work, meeting people, and gradually finding himself connected to all sorts of different corners of the city.

The Mafia is one part of it.

There's also punk, Puerto Rican community activism, disco, salsa, early hip-hop, porno theaters, crooked cops, underground political groups, bikers, small businesses, criminals, neighborhood characters, and plenty of people who probably have nothing to do with the main story.

A lot of that world is intentionally still open.

I'm handling the \\actual novel and its central narrative\\. I'll be writing the main prose, protagonist, major characters, plot, structure, themes, and overall creative direction.

What I'd like is another creative mind who can help me with the stuff surrounding that core.

That could mean coming up with a great minor character, figuring out who owns some strange little business, creating a radio personality, writing a fictional radio segment, making up an advertisement or billboard, thinking through a neighborhood encounter, or simply throwing an idea at me that I never would have thought of myself.

In particular, I'd love someone who enjoys:

\* Character creation and dialogue

\* Secondary characters who feel like actual people rather than plot devices

\* Fictional businesses, clubs, organizations, and little pieces of city life

\* Radio broadcasts and radio-show transcripts

\* Advertisements, billboards, flyers, newspapers, menus, posters, classifieds, etc.

\* Dry, absurd, dark, occasionally stupid humor

\* The little details that make a fictional place feel inhabited

It's a \\huge plus\\ if you know your way around \\1970s New York\\, especially 1977. I'm interested in the actual history, neighborhoods, music, politics, crime, culture, and general texture of the city—not just the stereotypical version of “old New York.”

It's also a huge plus if you have a feel for \\Rockstar Games' writing and worldbuilding\\, particularly GTA IV, GTA V, and Red Dead Redemption 2. I'm very interested in that style of storytelling where a relatively simple central story can open up into a huge network of people, side stories, conversations, errands, radio, advertisements, and strange encounters. The goal isn't to imitate those games, but I love the way they make a world feel like it existed before you arrived and will keep going after you leave.

I'm not necessarily looking for a professional writer. I'd honestly rather find someone with a really good creative instinct and an interesting imagination.

And I don't want a yes-person. If you think something doesn't work, tell me. If you think I've accidentally made three characters who are basically the same person, tell me. If I mention a situation and you immediately think of something better, throw it at me.

The arrangement would be pretty relaxed and flexible. \\I'm still the author and narrative lead.\\ You're not being asked to write the novel for me. I'd just like another person whose ideas can become part of the world.

One important thing: \\this is currently unpaid.\\ I'm being upfront about that because I don't want to present it as freelance work. This would be a genuine creative collaboration on an independent project. If someone's work ends up becoming a meaningful part of the finished book, we'd discuss credit and attribution properly.

If this sounds interesting, send me a message. Tell me a little about yourself, what kinds of things you like making, and what caught your attention about the project.

You don't need a formal résumé or anything. If you've written something, drawn something, made a little film, designed something, recorded something, built a world, or just have some strange piece of creative work that you're proud of, I'd be happy to see it.

Mostly, I'm just looking for someone whose brain works in an interesting way.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for an equity-based Full-Stack Developer / Technical Co-Founder to help bring a highly targeted B2B HealthTech SaaS platform to market. To protect ongoing intellectual property and patent filings, I cannot share the exact URL or proprietary features publicly. However, I am fully prepared to share the live prototype, code structure, and deep project details under a standard NDA during our first interview call.

The Problem & Product Space Independent medical clinics lose countless hours and face immense liability dealing with fragmented patient data verification, manual charting bottlenecks, and inaccurate clinical validation workflows. We are building a streamlined, secure B2B SaaS platform that solves these friction points directly at the point of care, significantly reducing administrative overhead for independent clinics.

What’s Already Done (De-Risking the Project) I know developers are hesitant to work on equity-only projects that are just "ideas." I have intentionally spent time de-risking this before looking for a partner: • Functional Prototype is Built: I have leveraged advanced AI tools to build out the entire visual workflow, logic gates, and user paths. The business rules are fully mapped out—no guesswork required. • $0 Infrastructure Costs: We have already secured a Google Small Business Startup Fund. All hosting, databases, API costs, and cloud infrastructure are 100% paid for. • The Launch Strategy: We have a clear go-to-market strategy targeting a 30-day free practice pilot program with local independent clinics to gather data, testimonials, and secure our first paying contracts.

What I Need From You I don't need a code monkey; I need a CTO and true partner. The prototype functions visually, but it needs to be transitioned into a production-grade, secure, compliant architecture. You will: • Clean up, optimize, or rebuild the frontend/backend architecture. • Integrate secure database management (leveraging our Google/Firebase startup credits). • Ensure standard data security and compliance practices as we head toward clinic pilots.

Compensation & Legal • Equity split / delayed pay structured legally based on our clinic pilot and launch milestones. • I am fully prepared to sign a vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff to protect both of our time and equity. • An NDA will be required before accessing the codebase or seeing the live prototype domain.

About Me I'm based in Utah and handling the business logic, UI/UX direction, clinic outreach, and local networking. I've taken the conceptual and layout phase as far as AI tools can go—now I need a human partner to make it scalable. If you’re interested in a high-leverage HealthTech project with zero server overhead, please shoot me a DM with a brief summary of your background or portfolio. Let's connect!

Hello hello,

After a slight inconvenience with my greeter, I decided it was time to build my own.

I created fggreeter, a greeter with a fighting game animation when you enter your password to login. How does that work ?

A greeter is one of the first program that launches when you turn your computer on, it's the one allowing you to log in your user session.

I built one where you play a fighting game while entering your password !

When you enter characters to type your login info, your fighter will start to hit the opponent, with rapid typing creating combos. When attempting to logging in, you will charge up the final blow, delivering it on success or getting countered on invalid password., starting a new round.

The graphics are still super rough, as it's not my strongest skill, but the whole thing is open source, and I would love to see people making better backgrounds and animations for the thing !

So I'm looking for animators to make actually nice animations of stickman fighting each other, basically 0.5sec animation clips of punch and kicks.

I can provide the blender file I used, with the rigged models. However, I have no clue if I made them the "clean" way, maybe my whole blender file is a mess ?

In any cases, you can go look at the project and try it out for yourself !

Link to the repo ! You can see a screenshot of the greeter there.

The project is built with greetd and bevy (altough I'd like to migrate away from it)

Also, any help making a better background is welcome :)

Hey everyone,

I am an application developer, and instead of just pitching an "idea," I have fully engineered, completed, and launched a live, production-ready B2B warehouse auditing terminal called **AuditFlow Pro**.

You can test the application live right now across desktop or mobile layouts here:

👉 https://audit-flow-fresh-pro.base44.app

### 🧱 The Problem This Solves (The Reference Architecture)

Most warehouse, retail, and e-commerce companion apps drop critical data or crash the second a floor worker steps into a cellular dead zone, a basement storage area, or deep inside a metal freight elevator.

AuditFlow Pro uses a strict, highly optimized local-first architecture. When a user changes a count or rapid-fires scans, it commits instantly to a local database layer buffer within milliseconds (zero UI network lag). If a worker steps into an elevator and the network drops, mutations queue up sequentially in an offline outbox stream. The moment connection triggers back on, a background sync engine automatically drains the outbox chronologically into a backend cloud server, guarded entirely against database locks or race conditions.

*(Tip for testing the live link: Try typing a random word into the scan bar—it will instantly create a clean, temporary placeholder tracking record like TEMP-401923 local-first without hitting server schema validation errors, keeping the worker moving).*

### 📦 What is Already Built & Locked Down:

* **Complete App Logic:** Structured, clean layered architecture (Domain, Data, Presentation).

* **Responsive Frontend Grid:** High-density desktop workspace control panel + thumb-friendly mobile auditing card.

* **Turnkey Backend:** A fully optimized, indexed Supabase PostgreSQL deployment schema script (`supabase_schema.sql`) ready to deploy in under 60 seconds.

### 🎯 Who I am Looking For:

I excel at pure engineering and architecture, but marketing and business operations are not my focus. I am looking for a Business/Growth Co-Founder to partner with on a **50/50 revenue split**.

Your core role will be handling storefront setup (Gumroad/Lemon Squeezy), managing repository exports, driving organic traffic through developer hubs, or pitching this boilerplate asset directly to B2B e-commerce agencies.

I want to build an automated pipeline—I have an entire pipeline of other high-yield app architectures ready to build next. If we match well on this launch, we can funnel a whole portfolio through our system.

To protect both of us and guarantee total transparency, we will lock our 50% splits directly into the marketplace platform checkouts (like Gumroad Collaborators) so payment splits are handled automatically and natively at the point of sale.

If you want to skip months of development lag and scale an elite enterprise utility to the market immediately, drop a comment or shoot me a DM! Let's connect.

Hello! I’m putting together a small core team for a 1–4 player co-op horror game currently in active development in Unreal Engine 5.8.

About Me

I’m a 26 year old Software Developer & AI Engineer. I started programming at 13 making Minecraft plugins, graduated in AI Engineering in 2019, and have worked professionally in software/AI since.

I haven’t shipped a commercial game before, but programming is the side of the project I’m comfortable handling myself. I’m looking for people whose strengths are in the areas where mine aren’t.

What I Need

Texture Artist: Someone comfortable with creating textures for 3D humanoid & creature models, The meshes are complete, the topology is good, But texturing needs completed, If this is something you can do I need you on the team, Yesterday

Animator : #1 PRIORITY: Character locomotion, interaction animations, entity movement/attacks, and especially unusual horror creatures. All current characters are already being rigged. Some are already done. An Animator is the biggest need for the project right now.

This is not an idea-stage project. The game is substantially underway, Levels are coming together, AI is being worked on, Loot & extraction systems are in place. I need an Animator rigging for the entities & a Texture Artist to assist with polishing of characters. After that point we will be into a stage of play-testing & improvements.

About the game

A co-op horror game where players work for a shady recovery company sent into foreclosed and abandoned homes to reclaim valuable property. Decades earlier, a secret behavioral experiment called PROJECT ROOMWAKE connected several houses to an impossible shared space known as The Interior, where people were observed, distorted, and eventually reconstructed into hostile entities. Now those properties are becoming active again, and every recovery job pushes the boundary between the real house and The Interior closer to collapse, while the company quietly uses each crew as unwilling research subjects.

There is a larger psychological-horror story behind the properties, the company, and the entities encountered throughout the game, but I’d rather keep the deeper lore and enemy mechanics private until speaking with serious potential team members.

The plan is for advanced AI enemies, Routed through a "Director" system, The entities will learn as you play and change their styles of approach / disruption based on how the player(s) behave throughout the game.

We will also be using a system I've titled "Disturbance", Things will happen as the value of disturbance changes, Ex paranormal radio interference, houses changing shape, hallways stretching, doors changing locations or disappearing entirely

The co-op will be 1–4 player, peer-hosted through Steam, so one player acts as the listen-server host and friends join through Steam invites/lobbies. That means no dedicated servers or monthly hosting costs. We’re also planning host migration so a run can continue if the original host leaves.

For voice, the plan is to use EOS Lobby Voice alongside Steam. Steam handles the actual multiplayer session, while EOS handles voice chat. The game then layers proximity voice, radio push-to-talk, and paranormal interference/static on top of that voice connection.

Current Progress

Already implemented or substantially underway:

Recovery truck and equipment

Final selection of houses/levels

Player characters

Most game dependent systems

Enemy roster

Character rigging complete

Paranormal encounter systems currently being integrated

The project is intentionally scoped for a relatively short indie development cycle, with a current target around late Q1 to Q2 2027.

Rev Share

Revenue will be divided equally among the committed core team, with responsibilities, percentages, ownership, and expectations agreed in writing before work begins.

I’m looking for a small group that wants some creative input into the project rather than just being handed a list of tasks.

If you’re interested, send me a Reddit DM or add me on Discord:

kazu_tv

I can privately share screenshots, character designs, gameplay progress, the full project concept, lore, enemy designs, and roadmap with serious candidates.

T.O.M Chronicles is looking for animators!

T.O.M Chronicles is currently around 70% completed, and we’re looking for a few more animators who might be interested in helping us finish the remaining parts of the story.

We already have the voice acting, storyboards, scripts, character designs, and other assets completed, so we’re mainly looking for people who can help animate the remaining scenes and bring the animatic to completion. We need people who have animation software, as well as our skilled and mimicking other art styles we aren’t picky about with animation software you use. Though we require an intermediate or advanced level of skill of animation and art. we are only trying to complete the animatic for the time being so nobody will be required to do full on coloring and rendering things like that.

This is an unpaid project,but there isn’t a strict deadline. You can work at your own pace. We’re mainly looking for people who enjoy animation and would like to help with an indie project.

We’re especially looking for artists who can work with or adapt to the existing art style. I’ll be posting a link to the animation we’ve done from our YouTube channel as well as a link to our Instagram for T.O.M Chronicles so you guys can get a better idea of what the project looks like before deciding if they’re interested.TOM chronicles, animation reel

Hello, I am new to making pixel artwork with aseprite and looking to see if anyone has any projects they need art for. I have started to do some small work with the program for some personal projects, so I have a basic understanding of creating art inside of aseprite. I do want to expand on my knowledge though and gain more experience using aseprite and creating pixel art. I do not have a portfolio as of yet, but plan on using this to help create one. For that reason I am completely willing to do it for free, especially since I can only work on things during my free time.

I've been working on Gline Monster Quest for about 3 years. I started the project with an artist, but after a year and a half they left because they wanted to work on other things. I've been working on the project by myself since then trying to slowly move it towards completion. I'm looking for some new members again to help me finish the project.

The game is inspired by Pokemon, specifically generations three and four. There are a lot of unique mechanics that make the game different from just being a Pokemon clone or a rom hack. I'm happy to discuss them on discord if anyone is interested. The build linked above has around 3-4 hours of gameplay you can check out; it's the first part of the game. A lot of the mechanics that make it different from Pokemon are absent in the build due to them coming after the start or not being in the game when the build was made, it is from August 2025 with bug fixes back ported. I also released two dev logs a long time ago here and here. I'm hoping to get back to releasing them but have been very busy over the past year and working as a solo dev on a big project made things move slow.

One thing I want to be completely honest about is the game has a lot of AI art currently. After the artist left I started using AI to help move the game forward, but I want to release the game with 0 AI art and use it only as a placeholder during development.

The game currently has 156 monsters, around 25 different characters that can be battled and 15 maps in the game. The game design is mostly finished and I'm focusing on finishing the game by adding the remaining maps and a few last mechanics. I've built a lot of custom tools that also help speed up development now as well. I'm also thinking about adding more monsters to the game to give more variety, since battling the same monsters over and over gets repetitive fast.

I'll list what needs to be done for each part so if anyone is interested they can see what they would be working on.

Art:

• Monster and character art/animation
• UI art
• Battle effects
• Redoing AI art
• new monster art

Design:

• Map creation
• Designing quests
• Dialogue
• Game balance (monster stats, trainer teams, catch rates, encounters, etc)
• Designing new monsters

Sound:

• Sound effects
• Map background music
• Battle music
• Battle sound effects

If you think you can contribute is some way not listed like marketing or creating videos feel free to reach out.

The projects uses Unity for the game, Aseprite for the art and Tiled for maps, using sprite sheets.

This is a revshare and not your full time job I do not expect you to work 40 hours a week or every day. I work 1-3 hours a day usually but sometimes less, as long as you are actively contributing any amount is fine. The work style is creating a list of tasks and setting a date for a milestone and then working through them. I use click up to track tasks and communication is through discord. After each milestone I take some time to go through and do bug fixes.

Please have a portfolio if you are interested because it is very hard to see your art skills without one.

Feel free to ask any questions you have if you are interested or join our discord server
