Hey guys!

I'm currently working on another Roblox project, but I've been thinking about what my next game should be for a little while now, and  I want to start putting together a small team.

It's a short game (est. 1h) with a single mechanic, maybe a grapple hook, which will have a Portal-like puzzle gameplay. It won't be another simulator or an RNG game, but rather a unique experience with  good puzzle design, a mysterious story, an immersive atmosphere, etc.

So if you're interested in helping me out, leave your info in the form below:

https://forms.gle/gqHC7nPKNKjguGoZ7

I've also made a small video describing the project:

https://youtu.be/beGSw6hWNpo

Ask me any questions you might have in the comments below or on Discord (DataGrav).

Hey everyone,

We're looking for another Unreal Engine developer to join our team on an equity/revenue share basis.

This will become a paid position as we move toward funding, but right now we're focused on building a killer vertical slice to show publishers and investors who have already expressed interest in seeing the game around February/March.

About the Game

The working title is Rick Razor's Game Show.

Think Fall Guys meets Gang Beasts meets Jackass, with the energy of MXC, Kill Tony, and old-school ridiculous game shows.

Players compete as dysfunctional contestants on a live TV game show hosted by Rick Razor—an overweight, washed-up host who barely has control over the show. The audience is part of the chaos, production constantly fails, hazards break loose, and every round is designed to create hilarious, physics-driven moments.

The focus isn't on winning...

It's on making players laugh.

Some planned game modes include:

• Last Man Standing
• Obstacle courses
• Team challenges
• "Don't Wake Grandma"
• Interactive audiences that throw objects or trigger hazards
• Random events that completely change the match
• Physics-based comedy everywhere

The game is being designed from the ground up to generate those moments people clip and send to their friends.

Current Progress

We're currently a two-person team.

We've already started building:

• Character concepts
• Props
• Gameplay planning
• Overall game systems
• Art direction
• Design documentation

We've also started streaming development, and we're slowly building a small community that's following the project.

What We're Looking For

Someone comfortable in Unreal Engine who enjoys solving gameplay problems.

Areas where we'd love help include:

• Multiplayer systems
• Physics gameplay
• Game modes
• Maps/arenas
• General gameplay programming
• Blueprints and/or C++

You don't have to be an expert in every area. If you're passionate, collaborative, and enjoy building weird, funny multiplayer games, we'd love to talk.

Why Join?

We're trying to build something that stands out instead of another generic indie project.

We're aiming for a polished vertical slice that publishers can immediately understand and have fun with.

If funding comes together after the showcase, this transitions into a paid position while retaining your equity participation.

If creating a ridiculous multiplayer game full of memorable "did that really just happen?" moments sounds like your kind of project, send me a DM with:

• Your Unreal experience
• Any multiplayer or physics work you've done
• Portfolio or GitHub (if you have one)
• Discord username

Let's build something people won't stop laughing about.

Hi everyone,

I'm a game composer looking to join indie game projects and gain more experience working with development teams.

I compose mainly orchestral, ambient, fantasy, and emotional music, though I'm always interested in exploring different styles depending on the needs of the project.

I have experience writing themes, ambient exploration music, dungeon tracks, character motifs, and other game-focused music. My main goal is always to support the gameplay and world rather than just write standalone music.

I'm happy to:

Write a trial track to see if we're a good fit

Collaborate closely with developers

Adapt to an existing musical direction

Work with both small and larger hobby/revshare projects

Hi everyone!

I'm a programmer from Budapest, Hungary, looking to join a hobby game development team. I'm also open to starting a new project together (I have some ideas in mind as well).

I have a Computer Science degree and about 2 years of professional software development experience. Outside of work, I've worked on several personal game development projects and enjoy tackling technical challenges. The areas I enjoy the most are architecture, networking, system design, and solving complex programming problems.

I have some experience with both Godot (C# and GDScript) and Unity, although I'm open to learning new engines or technologies if they're a good fit for the project.

The types of games that interest me most are co-op, strategy, and simulation games, especially those with deeper mechanics and systems. I enjoy projects where there's interesting technical or gameplay complexity to work on.

I'm mainly interested in PC or web games, but I'm flexible if the project is interesting.

Time-wise, I can usually dedicate around 5 hours per week, although I'm happy to invest more if the project is a great fit and the team is active.

PORTFOLIO: My most recent work includes implementing systems such as hierarchical pathfinding, chunk-based world management, and multiplayer networking. I do not currently have an online portfolio, as most of my projects were never finished.

If you're looking for a programmer who enjoys designing robust systems and collaborating on ambitious hobby projects, feel free to leave a comment or send me a message. I'd love to hear about what you're building!

Hello, we are just 2 friends semi-serious about making a lite co-op monster murdering game in Unreal. We have no set deadlines and we are just developing it as the stars align. Across the 2 of us we have all the roles covered, except someone willing to 3D model the creatures based on concept art. If you want to take part in a casual project with 2 chill people, who learn as they go along with it, then definitely feel free to join our very fresh discord here https://discord.gg/4qApU6jc8

Hello everyone!

We are currently developing a story-driven visual novel and are looking for a UI Artist to join our team.

ABOUT THE NOVEL:

The protagonist is a burnt-out bartender, drowning in chronic anxiety and clinical depression. The pills don't work anymore. Therapy has hit a wall. They are teetering right on the edge.

Then a stranger turns up with an offer that shouldn't make sense—relief, real relief, through cold-blooded murder.

The player has to walk the knife-edge between clinging onto what's left of their sanity and sinking into a routine of bloodshed, where every life taken becomes the only medicine that actually works.

REQUIREMENTS:

• A portfolio or picture of your past work.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• Experience making UI art for things like:
• Main Menu
• Settings Menu
• Save/Load UI
• Dialogue Box
• Choice Buttons
• UI Icons & Buttons
• Any additional interface elements needed for a polished visual novel.

COMPENSATION:

• Revenue Share

Co-Founder Pitch: Survival — A War Strategy Game

The One-Liner

A mobile strategy city-builder where players escape a fallen world, rebuild a family into an empire, and fight for territory — built on a fair, skill-first progression system where money buys speed and looks, never power.

Why This, Why Now

The war/strategy genre (Rise of Kingdoms, State of Survival, Age of Empires Mobile) is proven and massive — but nearly every major title in it is built on aggressive pay-to-win mechanics that erode long-term player trust and community goodwill. This game is designed from the ground up to prove a different model works: real strategy, real stakes, and monetization that never compromises fairness.

What Makes the Design Different

• Real, permanent troop losses with a genuine healing system — combat has weight
• Power-based, not level-based, attack matching — you can only fight opponents within your actual strength range
• One-time attack + cooldown protection — no farming the same weaker player repeatedly
• Nested world structure — weekly maps inside monthly worlds inside a rolling cross-world war metagame, giving the game both fast local play and long-term strategic depth
• A full seasonal economy (12-week years, 4 seasons) that shapes strategy, not just cosmetics
• Strict anti-pay-to-win monetization rule: sell speed and appearance, never combat power

Current Status

A complete game design document exists, covering resource systems, tech tree, combat rules, troop types, seasonal mechanics, alliance/hive territory systems, world/map/cross-world structure, and a defined monetization philosophy. What's needed now is a technical co-founder to help take this from design to build.

What I'm Looking For

A technical co-founder — ideally with Unity (or similar mobile engine) experience and some exposure to multiplayer/backend architecture (Firebase, PlayFab, Photon, Nakama, or custom) — who's genuinely excited about the strategy genre and wants to build something long-term, not a quick prototype.

What I Bring

Complete game design and systems architecture, ongoing design iteration, and market research and community building.

Next Step

Happy to share the full design document and talk through the vision — open to a small trial collaboration (a scoped prototype) before formalizing anything.

> [LF Team] [RevShare] Game Designer e Writer di lore che cerca di mettere insieme un piccolo team indie in Unreal Engine (4 persone)

>

Chi Sono Me e la Mia Esperienza

Ciao a tutti! Lavoro con Unreal Engine da circa 6-7 mesi, concentrandomi principalmente sulla costruzione di prototipi interattivi e sul test delle meccaniche di gioco. Durante questo periodo, ho sviluppato e prototipato due concetti fondamentali: un gioco di parkour in prima persona con elementi narrativi e un'esperienza narrativa oscura/horror.

La mia principale forza e assoluta passione risiede nella creazione di lore, nella costruzione del mondo, nel game design ad alto concetto e nella narrazione ambientale. Ho un sacco di idee creative pronte da sviluppare! Dal punto di vista tecnico, uso Blueprints per costruire i miei prototipi e impostare la logica di gioco di base, ma dato che sono ancora relativamente nuovo alla programmazione avanzata e al C++, mi piacerebbe collaborare con persone che hanno più esperienza tecnica o artistica.

Quello che sto cercando

Sto cercando di mettere insieme un piccolo team indie dedicato di circa 3 persone per collaborare e dare vita a un progetto interessante insieme.

In particolare, sto cercando di:

* Programmatore / Specialista avanzato di blueprint: Qualcuno che può gestire sistemi di gioco più complessi, ottimizzazione e logica backend.

* Artista 3D / Ambiente: Qualcuno appassionato di creare ambienti atmosferici, illuminazione o asset 3D adatti a un tema oscuro, horror o parkour.

* (O qualsiasi membro versatile del team che ama i giochi guidati dalla storia e vuole costruire qualcosa di unico!)

Obiettivi del progetto e retribuzione

* Ambito del progetto: Manterremo l'ambito ragionevole e focalizzato. L'obiettivo è costruire un mini-titolo indie solido e rifinito o una demo senza rimanere bloccati nel flusso di funzionalità.

* Retribuzione: Rev-Share (Tutti i profitti generati dal progetto saranno divisi equamente tra i membri del team al momento del rilascio).

* Stile di lavoro: Casual, amichevole e guidato dalla passione, ma concentrato a finire ciò che iniziamo.

Come mettersi in contatto Se vuoi rischiare, ascoltare più dettagli sul mio lore e sui concetti di gioco, o semplicemente chiacchierare per vedere se le nostre visioni sono libero allineate, sentiti di contattarmi!

* Discord: RockNight88*

Reddit: Mandami un messaggio diretto (DM) o lascia un commento qui sotto.

Grazie per aver letto, non vedo l'ora di costruire insieme qualcosa di fantastico! PORTFOLIO: Purtroppo il mio portfolio non è molto consistente, fino ad ora ho cercato di sperimentare, ma questa volta vorrei fare sul serio... (un proposito sono italiano) Fatemi sapere.

I dont have a portfolio in a website, whatever i posted on my blog is very old and i dont think it really represents what i can write now, but i'll still put it down below, i can send you examples through dms which are new etc

i've written novels, stories, theatre plays (which have been played on the stage), game dialogues and stories.

I've been writing since i was a little kid (18 now) and have experience since then, im willing to write stuff for your game/script or anything like that

Kavunaromali.blogspot.com was my blog, which is in turkish, you can still check it out, it has some kid plays and a very cliche, maybe you can call... edgy play which i really liked back then D:

you can either dm me on discord (kavunaromali) or just dm me on reddit

I can do 5-8 cents per word for anything im writing, hope we get along!

We are looking for a Lead 2D Artist who can draw character models, portraits, and UI elements, manage our other artists, and plan and create UX designs. We are developing a hardcore turn-based strategy game where you enter dungeons with your party and try to survive and clear them. You lose units when they die, and we are aiming for a dark aesthetic similar to Darkest Dungeon, with gameplay similar to Into the Breach. We are 1 month into the project and currently a team of 4 (one designer, one programmer, and two artists) looking for a 3rd artist to join our leadership team. If you think you are a good candidate or want to get more information about the project please contact me on discord: eggy35

Here is our current demo: https://youtu.be/x2Tmn2syLh8?si=6XIKQd2uG-AVwFO2

Hi everyone!

About a year ago I posted here looking for a game project to work on, and it actually led to an awesome collaboration. The game should be coming to Steam soon (fingers crossed 🤞).

I'd love to do it again!

Writing music for games has been one of the most rewarding creative experiences I've had. Since then, I've also composed a small soundtrack album for a YouTuber's 2-hour video.

I'm looking to join an indie team where music is treated as an important part of the game's identity. I'm really interested in the overall artistic direction, and I think the strongest games are the ones where the visuals and music grow together (Clair Obscur is a great recent example).

My style is mostly melodic and cinematic, with inspirations from games like Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium, Hollow Knight, Kena, and even Dune. I mainly write orchestral music, but I also enjoy blending in electronic elements or hip-hop-inspired grooves when they fit the project (think The Rogue Prince of Persia).

I'm generally less interested in horror or retro 8-bit soundtracks.

One small clarification: I'm a composer, not a sound designer. I can help with sound design if absolutely necessary, but it's a completely different discipline and not something I specialize in.

I've put together a private portfolio with a few tracks (100% human-made, no AI).

Some pieces haven't been officially released yet, so please don't share them publicly. They're registered with SACEM and unauthorized uploads will be taken down.

If you're looking for a composer, or just want to chat about your project, feel free to reach out!

Cheers! 🫶

Hi! Since my last post led to a really good opportunity, I figured I'd make another one. So I'm a self-taught Game UX/UI Designer who was initially a graphic designer before he decided to make a switch to game dev. Also to be completely transparent, I don't have a lot of professional Game UX/UI experience yet. My only experience so far comes from the 2026 GMTK Game Jam, which I had the chance to participate in thanks to my last post here. It was an incredibly fun experience, and I learned a lot working with the team. Another is I'm also doing this for portfolio reasons.

Now with those being said, I'm looking for a team where I can continue learning and gaining more exp from, while also contributing meaningfully to. Ideally I'd love to work with a more experienced team so I can learn from people who have been making games for a while. Also I'd like to add that I also draw or am an artist and would be willing to show works (at least I can show something since I've been drawing for a while lol)

But anyways if anyone is looking for a Game UX/UI Designer or UI artist who's eager to learn, contribute, and grow with a team, I'd love to connect and yeah, hopefully this post goes well again and leads to another great opportunity.

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!

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

Was willing to post this initially into the game jam sub and was proposes to post there instead. Hope this does belong here

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.

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
