Looking for People (Artist and Others) to Create a Small Game

Hey all,

I'm a solo software developer hoping to find a few like-minded people to create a small game together: something fun, polished, and achievable.

If you're an artist, sound designer, or world builder with a small game idea you'd love to bring to life, I’d be keen to hear it. I’ve got plenty of ideas myself, but they’re all a bit too ambitious for a first project. For this one, I’m open to exploring any idea that feels achievable and exciting for everyone involved.

The Project

  • Engine: Unity

  • Scope: Very small; something achievable

  • Style/Genre: Flexible; we’ll decide as a group

  • Time Zone: I’m in Australia. A similar time zone is helpful but not required since there’s usually some awake-time overlap

Who I’m Looking For

The idea is to keep the team small and easy to manage. A few friendly, honest people who work well together is what I'm after.

  • Artist (Critical Role): You’ll shape the look and feel of the game, and your involvement will be central to getting the project off the ground

Other roles that could help, depending on the game:

  • Sound Designer / Composer: For all things auditory: SFX, music.

  • Writer: For creating an interesting story, characters and character dialogs.

  • Content Creator / World Builder: To help shape and create content for the world. Useful but not essential in the early stages.

Other potentially useful skills:
> UI/UX
> Animation
> Documentation

While the artist is the main thing I'm looking for, feel free to reach out if you think you could bring something valuable to the project. If your skills are able to satisfy multiple roles, that's even better.

Structure and Terms

  • Casual, unpaid collaboration. There's no deadline, but we do want to be making progress continually

  • If the game earns money, profits will be split based on contribution. I’ll manage this and retain full control to keep things fair and conflict-free

  • I’ll be acting as the project lead/director: I want to maintain final say on decisions and direction to keep things organized and avoid common pitfalls with unpaid teams

  • Since clear communication is important (and I only speak English), excellent English is required, both written and spoken

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, reply here or message me on Discord: EffYouCeeKay

Let’s create something! :D

Hey, I read your post. I’m a music composer who will work for free with credit. I’m trying to build my portfolio and keep my hands hot. I’d hope you could reply to this message with further instructions if a composer is something that you could use. You can take a look at some of my work on YouTube www.youtube.com/@Swainnn100  and message me here  or on Instagram @swain1.0 

Hey Swain, I've just listened to your stuff on Youtube - Nice!

I've received your Discord invite so we can talk further there

I've had a fair share amount of art I make. I just make art whenever I want, but maybe I want to see what kind of game you're making.


I also write but not as much as I draw. 

I like story-based, simple games.

Nice!
The game itself is completely up for discussion at this point, so if you have any ideas, feel free to add me on Discord and we can chat there

Hello I am an artist I would love to help with this here is a link to my socials so you can see my art I am more active on tik tok https://linktr.ee/pandajay

Could i make some music for you? 

My forte, is Electronic music, mainly, House, Jungle, Breakcore, and Ambient music, but I can learn to write anything, and I enjoy challenging myself. I can do sound design, although I haven’t been doing it for very long. I am however confident in my skills.

The attached folder is a small collection of things I have made, that I feel encompass my sound the best. please give it a listen!

This is a youtube link, to all of the music I have officially posted. most of the things I have posted are quite old, and my sound has changed slightly since I started uploading my music. You can also contact me at, smylmakesmusic@gmail.com, and through discord, "pipebombtutorial"

Hey PiBom,

Your music sounds really sick - awesome stuff

I've sent you a request on discord so we can chat further

Hey there. If you need cover art or some 2D assets, I can help you. I like the idea of making something achievable. https://cara.app/achiwo

Hi, Im a music composer with a passion for creating immersive soundscapes that enhance narrative and interactive experiences. I would be truly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate on your game, bringing my musical creativity and experience to help shape its atmosphere and sonic identity.
I'm open to discussing how we could work together. Thank you for considering my proposal!

That sounds wonderful! I'd love you hear more from you and what kind of music you like to compose
Feel free to add me on Discord to chat further

Hi! i saw this post and i would love to help. i do a lot of art that's mostly focused on a 2D style. I also like writing and making webtoons (that i never post) .

Neat!

Feel free to add me on Discord and we can chat(:

UPDATE:

We're in the early stages of consolidating the core idea and art-style. We currently don't have a WRITER, so if the following idea overview is of interest to you, feel free to contact me on Discord:

"Loop.exe is a satirical, tile-based strategy game where a humanoid robot AI battles through a corrupted corporate skyscraper filled with office-themed monster archetypes. You’ll place tiles around a loop, fight enemies that spawn from those tiles, and rescue resistance members as you climb floor by floor to dismantle the dystopian bureaucracy."

I am 100% interested in putting down my interest as a writer. I have been running and managing a Group Roleplay for over a year now on a roleplaying website that is known for never having an RP continue so long--as I've broken the mould, I do believe that speaks to my abilities to keep a story engaging and working with multiple people to make sure all are having their needs met, working through disputes, and delivering quality writing. So, I believe I have a deep understanding of what is good storytelling! We all wrote 200k+ words in a single month collectively, if that says anything to level of commitment I have for writing.

Awesome! That sounds great

Feel free to add me on Discord and I can share further project details with you

Sent!

Hello. If you need some qualitative animations just let me know

That sounds interesting - feel free to add me on Discord

hey, do you need a composer? You can find my work at YouTube.com/@paulmichaelharrison and my discord is fx1989 if you’d like to chat!

Sweet, added you on Discord!

UPDATE:

Thank you everyone so much for showing interesting in the project.

We have now assembled a small team and have filled all essential roles.

When more opportunities arise, I shall post again.
