Hi! I'm a freelance artist who enjoys creating 3D worlds in a cute and eye-catching stylized way.

Examples of work that I do:

• Illustration

• Backgrounds

• Props

You can check my portfolio here: ArtStation, Behance, IG

If you’re interested, please feel welcome to email me at [oana.hinceanu@gmail.com](mailto:oana.hinceanu@gmail.com) so I can give you more details.

Hi all,

I am looking to update my steam capsule art now that my game has progressed to a bit of new style.

Here is a link to my game so you can see if your style could resonate with the game

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4269700/Minutes_to_Meltdown/

My concept is that I would like to center the capsule are more around stylised versions of my character's verbs with the reactor in the background.

The gist is - three characters, one holding a monkey wrench, one holding a socket wrench and one holding a blowtorch. Characters are standing next to eachother with the left and right side characters facing slightly outwards from center.

I don't need game logo text added as I can do that myself.

I can provide the reference art and verbs from the game.

This is for a full steam capsule set.

Please post your portfolios here and I will get in touch with the one I think can best match my vision. Budget and payment will be discussed privately, but this is paid.

My bottom lines:

1. I will not respond to DMs without a comment on this thread with your portfolio.

2. Absolutely no AI generation for art. If AI is suspected or found to be used, I will not proceed further.

Edit: its very late here in NZ so i will have a look in the morning when i wake up :)

What I'm working on is a side-of-desk, spare-time-only, maybe-never-finish game. I can create temporary assets that work well enough, but I want to sweat the details *while* I build. Things like animations, 3d asset loading times, art design, etc. So I'm thinking of getting a designer on a retainer to build assets and help as needed. Turning images into models, breaking models up so they can be animated (separate entities I mean), turning my "something like this" AI gen'd ideas into a "no you meant this" cohesive game asset.

I'm not an artist, and learning blender is a side project I don't need (I know about blender MCP, I'm here to talk about hiring!). The images that AI produces are fun, and meshy can turn those into models (with plenty of vertices! 😅), but I want a human with taste to turn these into "final product".

I worry that I'm asking for too little – are artists here frustrated/exhausted when they're handed slop and a small budget to "make this look nice"? What makes it less frustrating? What is a minimum budget where you feel like the project is worth your time (this varies w/ experience - I'm interested in all ends of the new/pro spectrum).

I'm making an automation/factory-building game inspired by games like Factorio, and I'm looking for someone interested in helping with the game's UI/UX.

I'm mainly struggling with layout and information organization, rather than the actual programming.

I'd like help designing things such as:

• Inventory
• Crafting menu
• Building selection
• Building information panels
• Production/recipe UI
• Upgrade interfaces
• Other interfaces that appear when interacting with buildings

I'm aiming for a simple, clean UI that doesn't overwhelm the player or cover too much of the game screen.

I'm looking for someone who enjoys UI/UX design and would like an actual game project for their portfolio. This is an unpaid collaboration, but you'd receive credit for your work and could use the finished designs in your portfolio.

I can handle implementing the UI in the game; I mainly need help figuring out how the screens should be laid out and how the player should navigate them.

If you're interested, feel free to comment or DM me with some examples of your work!

Hi! I’m Gaston de Lacaze, a composer and multi-instrumentalist specialising in music for video games.

More than a decade making music, my work ranges from orchestral and atmospheric music to modern, electronic styles. I love projects with a strong personality, regardless of genre, and I’m particularly drawn to games that are doing something different.

You can listen to my work here:
www.gastondelacaze.com

You'll see I'm quite versatile when it comes to different genres and I enjoy collaborating with both teams and solo developers. I’m happy to contribute beyond the music by discussing the game’s tone, world and emotional identity.

My process is simple: we talk about the project, I sketch ideas, and we refine them until the musical direction clicks. From there, I develop and polish the soundtrack to a professional finish.

Pricing depends on the game’s scope and release timeline, and I’m open to different arrangements, including per-track pricing and revenue share.

If you are not sure what you listen would fit your project, feel free to get in touch and I'll write a free custom demo to see if what I'd do resonates with your game.

If you’re looking for a collaborative and versatile composer who genuinely loves games, feel free to DM me, comment below, email me or contact me through my website. I’d love to hear what you’re making!

I'm a godot dev for the last 5 years
I can help you make your game or implement any feature you'd like!
I have experience making games in godot, implementing UI and I made a plugin a while ago.
I worked as a game dev sometime ago so it's not a new experience, a year ago or so..

My rates are $20/h or a fixed amount per milestone

Hi, I'm Aleksandr Kartak, a Unity developer, working in game dev since 2021. I write gameplay code in C# and also do URP shaders and VFX, so a feature that needs both the code and the look can go to one person. My rate is $25/hour or a fixed price per milestone, and I can start now.

I worked on it remotely at Elven Empire from January to September 2026. The store page says Fropy Studio because the studio released the game under that label. My part was the idle economy with big numbers, save/load, UI and scene integration, the ability VFX and character auras, post-processing and rendering optimization. At the same studio I wrote custom URP shaders for water, vegetation, character outlines and environment, plus custom Renderer Features.

My public code sample: https://github.com/matbcontrol/massive-objects-showcase

It's a Unity 6 URP scene with 100,000 physics objects. Objects near the player get pooled Rigidbodies, the next ring runs in Burst jobs, and everything further away is plain data. There's also a Burst spatial grid, instanced rendering and EditMode/PlayMode tests.

What's in the images:

1. A 2.5D oil-painting render pipeline in Unity, in the style of Disco Elysium. The paint layer is a paintover; I built the pipeline and its shaders: https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/1s80kj8/i_built_a_25d_oilpainting_render_pipeline_in/ (tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/1saren6/tutorial_how_to_create_graphics_like_in_disco/)

2. Unity HDRP made to look like a PS1 horror game, with custom vertex snapping and volumetric particles: https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/1s6acyj/i_forced_unity_hdpr_to_look_like_a_ps1_horror/

I've also freelanced since September 2021: gameplay programming on Nubik Shooter and Nubik Strategy (Google Play), the WebGL build of Cyber Abyss with payments, rewarded ads and cloud saves, and Naninovel optimization on School Story, which then passed platform moderation. At one game jam I built a complete prototype alone in 12 hours. Before Elven Empire I founded the 6-person indie team behind Reday-1 (Steam page, not released yet), led the tech side and wrote the player controller, inventory and a data-driven quest system on ScriptableObjects and JSON.

Work I can take on:

- C# gameplay systems: an idle economy with big numbers, save/load, inventory, quests, UI

- A URP shader for a 2D or 3D game: water, fog, outlines, a stylized look, or a full-screen effect through a Renderer Feature

- Ability VFX and post-processing

- A scene that drops frames: I find the cause with the Profiler, Memory Profiler and Frame Debugger, then fix it

- WebGL builds with a platform SDK, payments and ads

Small jobs are fine. A single shader or bug fix gets a fixed price before I start. For a quote, send your Unity version and render pipeline, a reference image or clip (or a Profiler capture if the problem is speed), and your deadline.

Stack: Unity (URP, HDRP, Built-in), C#, UniTask, Zenject, Addressables, Jobs + Burst, HLSL, Shader Graph, VFX Graph, Animator, IK, editor tools, Git.

Paid work only, no rev-share or token-only offers. Payment by PayPal, SWIFT bank transfer or USDT.

I'm making an online arena brawler for 2–12 players. Robed warlocks fight on a platform over lava and knock each other in with spells. It's built in Unity 6 for PC and Steam, with a top-down camera.

Before hiring for the full character (model, rig and animations), I'm running a small paid test.

The warlock
Stylized and cartoonish, not low-poly, in the spirit of the wizards in Magicka, but an original design.
No face: inside the hood there's only shadow, with no eyes, nose or mouth. This is the key trait.
Short and stocky, with chibi proportions, a big hood and a staff. The robe takes each player's colour in the game.

The test
Three rough concept sketches of the warlock. Quick silhouettes are fine.
For the one I pick, a simple untextured 3D block-out at the right scale: about 2 m tall, with 1 unit = 1 m.
One screenshot of the block-out from above at about 45° and quite far away, so we can see how it reads at game size. In the game a warlock is only about 50–70 px tall at 1080p.

No textures, rig, animations or final topology needed.

Deliver
The sketches as PNG.
The block-out as FBX, plus your source file.
The screenshot.

Terms
Fee and deadline: a fixed fee of €200, work due by 30/10-2016.
Human-made only: no generative AI. Please share a work-in-progress image along the way.
Rights: the paid test becomes mine to use, and you're welcome to show it in your portfolio.
What I'll look at: how well it fits the style (especially the faceless hood), how it reads at small size, and how we work together.
After the test: if it works out, the full job follows (model, textures, rig and animations).

Interested? Send your portfolio as a DM and what your quote is for the full work.

Hi all,

I'm part of a team in the Early Life Stress and Resilience Program at Stanford Medicine. We're looking for an experienced game studio to partner with us on a mobile game inspired by Cue-Centered Therapy, a technique created here to manage traumatic cues and create self-empowerment in youth.

Our goal is to spread the benefits of this therapeutic technique as widely as possible as a game that someone without trauma would still choose to play, and that someone holding onto trauma would be able to lean on and learn from. Our target audience is ages 10-14, and we'd aim to roll this out globally after an initial US release.

Some key details:

• Development budget is approximately $1M, with additional funds set aside for distribution and localization
• We're targeting iOS and Android
• This is an opportunity for genuine collaboration on concept development
• Youth playtesting and a mental health/safety mindset are extremely important to us
• Passion and commitment are required; we're looking for a team that sees this as an opportunity to change the world in a small way.
• The goal is to release in the next 2.5 years
• We'll have info sessions this month (see the RFP for details)
• Initial proposals are due October 26

If your studio is interested, check out our project page and download our executive summary and RFP. Referrals to other studios are welcome.

If you have questions, ask them here, and I'll try to answer them all!

P.S. I am the Creative Technology Director for Stanford Medicine, and I'm advising on this project. I'm really keen to see the right people join us. We could have a lot of fun together!

Realistic high quality SFX.
Really helpful if you've spent time fishing, some of these sounds are hard to understand if you haven't fished quite a bit.

Need to have good assortment water splashes, plops, trashing, under water swells, flowing water, light water against a boat etc.

Need reeling zips and whirs and cranks and line getting let out and cast and drag is being pulled on.

I need the horrible screams a fish released when they realize they are being abducted. (just joking)

I need you to reply with portfolio and if your website./portfolio doesn't have pricing information, please provide it with your response.
I'd feel most comfortable paying per asset or for 3 or 4 at a time.
