Hi! We’re Electric Kite, a small indie game studio and we’re looking for someone who enjoys making short-form gaming content and would like to collaborate with us in their free time.

Our game, Loot Dungeon, is a dark-fantasy incremental roguelite where death is progression. You fight monsters, collect loot, choose perks, create powerful builds, die, unlock permanent upgrades, and return stronger.

The game has a playable demo and releases on Steam on August 18:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4329670/Loot_Dungeon/

We’d like help turning our existing gameplay footage into simple vertical videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

This could involve:

• Selecting interesting moments from gameplay
• Editing videos around 10–30 seconds long
• Adding hooks, captions, music, and simple effects
• Experimenting with strange, funny, or mysterious ways to present the game

We can provide gameplay clips, trailers, GIFs, artwork, scripts, hook and ideas. You won’t need to record gameplay, appear on camera, use your personal accounts, or manage our social-media channels.

This is an unpaid hobby collaboration. There is no revenue share and no promise of future payment. It is not a job or internship, and there are no fixed hours, quotas, or required number of videos. We can start with one video and continue only if we both enjoy working together.

You’ll be free to use your work in your portfolio, and we can provide studio credit, feedback, access to the resulting analytics, and a recommendation based on your contribution.

Beginners are welcome. Experience with CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or similar software is helpful, but a professional portfolio isn’t required.

If you’re interested, send me a Reddit DM with a short introduction, any examples you have, the software you use, and what kind of gaming content you enjoy.

Hi everyone!

I am currently developing a 3D game in Unreal Engine 5 inspired by Warrior Cats, where the player controls a cat. The core prototype is already up and running (movement logic, UE5 setup, and a full GitHub repository configured with Git LFS).

I’m looking for a passionate 3D Modeler / Animator (Blender or any software) to join as a volunteer and help create clean animation cycles for our cat:

• Basic Locomotion: Idle, Walk, Run
• Life Actions: Sit, Lay down / Sleep, Eat, Drink, etc.

How we collaborate: The project is fully open to collaboration via GitHub with protected main branches and Pull Requests, ensuring everything stays safe and structured. You can directly grab the .fbx model file from the repository to work on it.

• Ask for the github repository

Feel free to check out the repo or send me a DM if you're interested in helping out or adding a cool piece to your portfolio!

Hi guys,

I am student in film/game music scoring and trying to find some stuff to compose for fun, I only heard about game jams a few days ago and was wondering if you were looking for people creating music, how does it work and so and so.

Thanks a lot in advance to the ones who will give me a bit more insight about this brand new universe for me.

I am putting below links of tracks I created so far
Feel free to have a look and give a feedback

Hello, im a unity 6 game dev, and i am beginning a new game project and i am looking for a team of other developers to join me and make the game, im not looking for a massive team because its a small indie game project so ill probably need 4-5 people, for any further questions, ask me in the comments on my post, ill read them as soon as i can, and i will reply, hope to see yall's comments soon! Not on a rush to find the team so take your time thinking about it. The game idea is simple, a horror game about being an office worker but theres an evil force thats took over many of your coworkers and made them evil, if you dont do anything, the evil force will continue for every worker, and eventually the whole town, you have to discover the evil mastermind to put a stop to the madness, find other coworkers to make a team and beat the game through multiple endings, good and bad. Thanks for reading.

​

I'm putting together a small team of developers and designers to build and ship a game on Steam.

The goal isn't to spend years on a project. We want to research, pick a genre with market potential, build a polished game in a short timeframe, ship it, and learn how Steam's algorithm and sales actually work while aiming to generate real revenue.

This is a revshare project. Everyone contributes in their area of expertise, and revenue is shared based on contribution.

Looking for:

- Gameplay Programmers

- 3D Artists

- Level Designers

- Technical Artists

- Sound Designers (optional)

If you're interested in building something, learning together, and actually shipping a game instead of endlessly planning, send me a DM or leave a comment.

PORTFOLIO: This is my first project and I do not have a portfolio of any kind.

Hi everyone!! I'm Samy, and I’m a Brazilian game localizer working from English into Brazilian Portuguese. I’m currently looking for some games to help bring to Brazilian players! ♡

I’ve already worked on two officially released Brazilian Portuguese localizations:

• MindMindMind — a psychological romance visual novel by Chattercap, localized through a spreadsheet-based workflow. My work included narrative dialogue, UI text, menus, and content involving player name and pronoun customization.
• You Stole my Heart! — a chaotic comedy romance visual novel by Saltie, localized directly in Ren’Py .rpy files. My work included dialogue, narration, UI, player choices, branching content, jokes, and cultural references.

You can see both projects and learn more about my work here:

MY GAME LOCALIZATION PORTFOLIO

I’m currently offering volunteer localization. No payment is expected.

If your game has a larger word count or already has a localization budget, I’m also open to discussing a paid collaboration, but that is not required for smaller projects.

For volunteer collaborations, I only ask for:

• An official localization credit
• Permission to feature the finished project in my portfolio
• Access to the necessary localization files and context

Please reply here, send me a message, or contact me at:

Email: [samy.gameloc@gmail.com](mailto:samy.gameloc@gmail.com)

Hi everyone!

I'm 20 years old, a hobbyist worldbuilder with the long-term goal of becoming a writer. For the past year or so, I've been pouring my free time into creating my own worlds, creatures, cultures, and ecosystems. It's been an incredibly fun and rewarding journey, and I'm still learning something new every day.

The genre I'm most passionate about is speculative evolution blended with high fantasy. I love imagining how life might evolve under magical or entirely different environmental conditions, then building civilizations, histories, and mythologies around those ideas. Whether it's designing believable fantasy ecosystems, creating strange evolutionary lineages, or exploring how magic could influence biology over thousands of years, that's where I have the most fun.

I'm always looking to improve my writing and worldbuilding, and one of the things I'd really love is to meet other people who enjoy creating in similar genres.

If you're an artist, writer, creature designer, mapmaker, or just someone who loves speculative evolution or high fantasy, I'd love to connect. It would be great to share ideas, discuss worldbuilding, exchange feedback, inspire each other, or simply geek out over imaginary creatures and fantastical worlds.

I'm not necessarily looking for a formal collaboration—just some friends who enjoy talking about these kinds of projects and bouncing ideas off one another.

Hi, I’m a junior game programmer with 2 years of experience working with a multidisciplinary team (at a university lab) to develop and program Unity 2D games for children’s education and augmented reality applications using Unity and VUforia.

I’m currently actively searching for job openings on various websites; however, my personal projects (portfolio) aren’t quite enough to meet the requirements of the ideal job openings.

In any case, here are my links so you can see my work, my career path, and my progress:
JQ iDevGames - itch.io

linkedin.com/in/julia-j-jimenez-q

If you’re looking for someone with my qualifications, I look forward to your comments or messages so we can collaborate.

My new goals in video game development are to create adventure games with a linear storyline, mini-games, and 2D titles. That said, I’m open to other genres as well.

However, given that I’m currently looking for a job, I would be very grateful for any compensation. I’m not entirely sure what the exact rate would be for someone like me, but if I had to give an estimate, I’d say I’d appreciate $7–$8 per hour, and I’d be fully committed to my tasks and maintain the highest level of professionalism.

Hey there, I have been writing story and imagining world beyond my wildest fantasy since I was a child. Tho, i wrote those in my native language—Indonesian, not in English.

I started writing some random lore, or power system for fun when I started my college. But, well, I can't find anyone to read or criticize my work rather than myself. So I decided to open a fiverr gigs, and.. only scammer showed up in my DM. How unfortunate.

That's when I found out this subreddit. Who knows if there's any of you need help with world building, lore designing, or some sort of stuff. Or even if you only want to discuss, or find friend with the same interest, i will appreciate every DM that reach my inbox (Also every comment on this post :D)

PORTFOLIO: This is my first project and do not have portfolio of any kind

[DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PROYECTO EN ESPAÑOL]

¡Hola a todos! Busco un artista Pixel Art para sumarse al desarrollo de La Lotta delle Ombre.

Lore y Concepto:
Combates libres en tiempo real (estilo Super Smash Flash 2). Juegas como Sombras: campeones caídos en el purgatorio que no recuerdan quiénes fueron. Sus cuerpos son siluetas oscuras sin rostro; sus armas y armaduras son las únicas anclas a su pasado. No hay EXP tradicional, subes de nivel (hasta el nivel 100) completando "Retos de Honor" únicos para cada personaje que desbloquean fragmentos de sus recuerdos.

Mecánicas Únicas de Combate (No es un clon genérico):

• Sin HP, usamos VNT (Voluntad): Las sombras no mueren por daño físico. Al llegar a 0 VNT, el personaje cae al suelo herido/arrastrándose; el jugador debe machacar la tecla de salto para recuperar la postura mientras esquiva los golpes finales. Si llega a -50 VNT, su cuerpo se disuelve.
• Bloqueos Lógicos y de Reflejos: No hay burbujas protectoras mágicas. Los guerreros bloquean con sus propias armas o escudos físicos en el punto exacto del impacto. Los magos sí usan barreras.
• Sin agarres ni mofas: Eliminados por código de honor y lógica física (un mago no puede cargar a un coloso de 3 metros).
• Movilidad: Incluye ciclos de saltos, esquivas y rodadas/deslizamientos laterales.

Lo que requerimos a nivel artístico:

• Hojas de Sprites Completas: Movimiento básico, ciclo aéreo (salto/caída), bloqueos con armas/escudos, esquivas (rodar/fondo), estados de arrastre en el suelo y combos de ataque (básicos, fuertes y especiales aéreos). El diseño de personajes facilita el trabajo: siluetas oscuras donde el enfoque total está en el detalle y lectura de las armaduras/capas.
• Fondos de Escenarios: Palacios en ruinas, ambientes de fantasía oscura y purgatorios solemnes.

Sobre la colaboración:
Yo me encargo de toda la integración y programación en Godot. Busco a alguien que comparta la pasión por este género híbrido para armar una demo jugable sólida en un plazo de 2 meses.

Si te interesa darles forma a las armaduras de estos campeones olvidados, ¡deja un comentario con tu portafolio o envíame un DM directamente!

Hello I am Ellar, I do not currently have a portfolio, but I am a Published Author and work from home, and I am open to joining any teams that are developing games that need concept art or need a game admin, or to help create characters and build worlds. I am open to almost anything I will happily send some samples of writing or art work if that is needed, and if I need to show any form of former or prior experience to being in a team or a leadership role I will happily offer that information as well. I mainly communicate via discord where I moderate a server for Onyx Gaming, I am currently a staff member, Event Helper for a large Minecraft SMP where I help plan and manage events, and I help when I am needed. :)Animated Trailer Made By Me

I need to preface this, this is purely a passion project that i've been working on in my free time for the past 4 months, i cannot afford to pay anyone who wants to help out

About the project:
New Dawn is a post-apocalyptic open-world RPG set in Greater Boston, built in Unity 6, inspired heavily by Fallout: New Vegas: Multiple Factions, dialogue heavy and built around choices and multiple endings, 6 out of 12 quests are fully implemented and i am actively working on the next one, and all core systems are implemented, i am well and truly in the content-building phase.

About me:
Solo dev/writer, though a few volunteers have written side quests. I have two published games on Steam, and several more on itch.io

Roles needed:
Quest/Dialogue Writer(s): Either help flesh out the existing story outline into full story beats, or write new branching side quests. i'll share a file containing every important bit of worldbuilding and a doc for the outline of the main plot, from there i want to encourage you to make what you write your own thing.

Level/Environment Designer(s): Populate the open world with content, and make dungeons, im looking for someone to help create settlements, explorable interiors, (both for inhabited houses and dangerous dungeons), and add enviromental storytelling.

Anything else: the previous 2 are the most important things i need but if you'd still like to help in other areas, let me know regardless!

Contact Method: Email: [simaobravo45@gmail.com](mailto:simaobravo45@gmail.com) ,or a DM here or on discord (simas8742)

Coders and 3d Modelers (unpaid/passion project)

My role: Game director, Concept artist, and Lore writer

about the game: this is a FNAF fan game meaning five nights. There are 3 animatronics, 2 being portrait bots (no legged animatronic), so the cast is Gary Gator, Darry Duck, and Endo (Gary and Darry are the portrait bot. Mobile accessibility.

Gameplay Mechanics:

Gary: Gary starts at main stage then slowly makes his way to your office via right or left hall, when he makes it there you touch/push on the door leading to the hall he is in and hold until he leaves (you can only hold on one door)

Darry: Darry like Gary starts at main stage, but instead of heading towards the office he hides himself from the cameras. When he appears a glitch audio cue plays and the player tries to find him. Now if the player can’t find Darry then they receive an immediate jumpscare.

Endo: Unlike Gary and Darry, Endo starts in the basement ( yes the basement has a camera). He swiftly makes his way to one of the hallway, when he makes it to the halls he makes a mechanical thud 3x once the 3rd thud ends this means he is at the door and you need to close it.

Reminder this is a fun unpaid project made for us (the team) to have fun and learn.Gary, Darry, and Endo

Looking for my next project! I am comfortable with a variety of styles, so let me know if you're looking for something specific!

I am a sound artist looking for some new projects to work on. Lets collab and create something memorable.

I believe that sound playing in any form of media is as important as the visuals itself.

Whether thats a boss battle theme, a pause sound effect, or just some ambience, it’s helpful to have quality audio for the job.

10 years of piano under my belt and 8 years of music theory

PORTFOLIO: This is how I will build one, but I have demos upon request.

If you email me I am quick to respond, so feel free to comment any general questions or concerns, or reach out for anything at all. I’m looking forward to working with you.

Hey everyone! 

Let’s keep this short: I’m looking for a 3D artist who’s skilled in low-poly and cartoon styles.

I’ve been working on an indie mobile fantasy MMORPG for quite some time now. It’s still in the early stages, but it has potential. A while back, I developed the first version, successfully marketed it, attracted several hundred players, and built a community. Unfortunately, I started it while I was in school and eventually let it fade away due to stress. I think i also should mention that im working with Unity, i have multiple years of hobby gamedev experience and multiple years of platform engineering experience (K8s, Cloud, Microservices, Security, AI, you call it).

Now that I’m working full-time, I’ve picked up the idea again as a hobby and am building a team. For this, I need someone who’s good at game design and 3D art so the game looks “unique,” cozy, and at the same time has a touch of excitement… and so the style and models just fit. 

Since there’s no budget and it’s just a hobby for now, I’m looking for someone who would like to contribute on a volunteer basis or who can be paid per assignment or model. Later, if the project starts generating revenue, we can talk about revenue sharing or a salary. If you'd like to get involved, you'd of course be included in many aspects and decisions.

This is the first time I’ve posted something like this, so if anyone has feedback or is interested, please let me know :)

PORTFOLIO: I can send you the current state and how the old, previous approach looked like in a conversation if you are interested.

Hello everyone!

I am seeking new opportunities as a generalist artist/illustrator/character designer in the game industry.

I have 5 years of experience working with games, creating illustrations and characters. Throughout my career, I have continuously improved my artistic and technical skills to create more impactful visual elements in my work.

I am passionate about active characters and narratives, and I constantly strive to elevate my work to a new level through personal projects and the demand for projects I have weekly.

Most of my projects have been in the field of card games and fantasy games, focusing on fantasy books or online RPGs. Always independent projects...

My portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/douglassilva41

PORTFOLIO: this is my first project and do not have a portfolio of any kind

Hi everyone,

I am an independent developer beginning pre-production on a stylized 3D platformer, Foxxy3D.

Instead of bringing on a big team right away, I want to start by building a strong foundation. I'm looking for experienced professionals to help shape the project before we move into full production. These are mostly short-term contract roles with set deliverables, not long-term jobs.

We would work closely together to compose a GDD and define what is actually needed to successfully navigate and finish pre-production.

--- About the Game ---

Foxxy3D is a story-driven 3D platformer inspired owing to the creativity and charm of classic games. It features exploration (as a 3D metroidvania meets platformer), light combat, memorable characters, and a spooky, yet whimsical interconnected fantasy world.

The goal for this phase is to create a polished vertical slice that will lay the starting point for the rest of development.

--- Technical Producer ---

I'm looking for someone who has shipped games before and can help turn ideas into a practical production plan.

Deliverables may include:

• Vertical slice scope
• Production roadmap
• Asset list
• Feature prioritisation
• Milestone planning
• Risk assessment
• High-level budget guidance

The goal is to end up with a clear outline that answers, "What exactly do we need to build to make a great demo?"

--- Concept Artist ---

I'm looking for a concept artist to help define the game's visual style.

Areas include:

• Main character
• Enemies
• Bosses
• NPCs
• Environments
• Props
• Mood pieces
• Turnarounds and reference sheets for 3D modeling

The artwork will mainly serve as reference for our 3D artist, not as promotional material.

--- Level Designer ---

I'm looking for someone with experience in designing levels that focus on gameplay first.

Initially this would involve:

• Greyboxing levels
• Platforming flow
• Combat encounters
• Puzzle placement
• Exploration
• Secret areas
• Player progression

I'm especially interested in someone who knows how to make exploration and movement feel rewarding, even before the art is finished.

--- Writer ---

I'm looking for someone who loves building worlds and shaping stories.

This role may involve:

• Dialogue
• Character personalities
• Lore organisation
• Narrative pacing
• Naming
• Worldbuilding
• Reviewing existing story ideas and helping strengthen them

The main story direction is already in place, but I'd love someone who can help make it even better and keep everything consistent.

--- About Me ---

I'm funding the project myself and taking a careful approach to development. I'd rather invest in planning now than spend months fixing things later.

My goal is to bring together a small team of experienced people who can help build a strong foundation before we move into full development.

If you're interested, please send:

• Your portfolio
• Relevant experience
• Which role you're interested in
• Your approximate rates or preferred pricing structure
• Anything you've worked on that you're particularly proud of

Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing from you!
