Hi! I’m currently looking for an Environment / Level Artist to join an ongoing narrative-driven psychological horror project built in Unity.

The project is already in active development, we have a clear story direction, detailed location documents, and a growing art bible. Our current focus is building and releasing a playable demo, which will serve as the foundation for the full game.

🔧 What we’re looking for:

• Experience working in Unity
• Ability to create blockouts and early playable versions of locations
• Solid understanding of lighting, shaders, and atmosphere
• Experience with or interest in:
  • baked & real-time lighting
  • fog, volumetrics, water shaders
  • dark, abandoned, mood-driven environments
• someone comfortable refining and improving environments over time

At this stage, strong atmosphere and readability matter more than final polish.

🏚 About the project:

• Genre: Psychological Horror
• Strong focus on atmosphere, tension, sound, and environmental storytelling
• The demo takes place inside an old, abandoned mansion
• The first location is already fully designed on a conceptual level (layout, mood, story beats, art direction)

We already have:

• detailed location descriptions
• a structured art bible
• early assets and visual direction
• an active team working on story, art direction, and assets

🤝 Collaboration & compensation:

This is a rev-share based collaboration.

Our current goal is to release a public demo. Before the demo is released, every team member will receive a contract that clearly defines:

• revenue share from the demo
• revenue share from the full game in the future
• credit and contribution terms

The goal is transparency and fair treatment for everyone involved.

📸 Below you’ll find:

Screenshots showing:

• current visual direction

Hey everyone,

I’m currently leading a small but ambitious indie team working on Devil’s Legacy a story-driven psychological horror built in Unity. The project focuses on atmosphere, symbolism, and emotional storytelling rather than cheap jump scares. It’s a dark, immersive experience that draws inspiration from classics like Silent Hill and Amnesia, while introducing new ideas that push horror in a more psychological and personal direction.

This project is made for those who truly love creating games. For people who see game development not just as work, but as a passion — something they want to grow in and eventually make a living from.
Devil’s Legacy is ambitious, but absolutely achievable. Our main goal right now is to build a strong, polished demo that captures the game’s tone and potential a demo that will help us secure funding or publisher interest, and reward everyone involved for their hard work.

We already have programmers, sound designers, and concept support on board. What we’re looking for now are:

• 3D Environment Artists familiar with Unity, comfortable building interiors, props, and atmospheric scenes.

• Artists who can help shape eerie, believable environments from crypt corridors to an old manor filled with unsettling details.

The project operates on a rev-share model, but once the demo is released and gains attention or funding, everyone will receive fair payment for their contributions. Every form of profit or investment will be shared transparently across the team.

If you’re someone who loves horror, enjoys telling stories through visuals, and wants to grow with a project built on creativity and trust — this is your chance to leave a mark.
We’re not a studio with a budget, but we are a team that believes in what we’re building and is ready to put in the time and effort to make it real.

If you’re interested, I’d love to share the demo plan and project materials with you so you can get a clear sense of our vision and atmosphere.

About the Project

Devil’s Legacy is an ambitious psychological 3D indie horror focused on deep storytelling, immersive atmosphere, and emotional impact — not cheap jumpscares.
Our goal is to create a horror experience that frightens the player through sound design, music, and psychological tension, constantly building a sense of unease and uncertainty.

The story combines strong narrative direction with exploration, symbolic elements, and mystery — inviting the player to question not only what’s real, but also their own perception. Every step forward draws them deeper into the character’s mind, where reality and guilt intertwine.

Gameplay-wise, the project features a mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, and atmospheric mechanics designed to immerse the player in both fear and curiosity.

We’re currently focusing on building and releasing a playable demo version that captures the essence of the full experience.
The first of the two demo locations is already fully blocked out and functional in its base form, and the entire project — including story, design documents, and gameplay structure — is fully written and planned out.

We already have a passionate and committed team of developers, designers, and sound artists who share a love for the psychological horror genre. However, to complete the demo and move forward faster, we’re looking to expand the team.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re currently searching for passionate creators to join us in bringing the demo to life:

• 🎨 3D Artist – capable of creating environment assets for the game world (props, architecture, and atmospheric details). 🎨 For 3D artists: we’re mainly looking for someone who enjoys building dark, atmospheric environments — gothic corridors, underground halls, detailed props, and other elements that bring the world to life. Your work would play a major role in defining the visual tone of Devil’s Legacy’s demo.

• 💡 VFX / Animation Artist – experienced in creating visual effects and character or environmental animations.

• 💻 Programmers – to assist with gameplay systems, environmental logic, and technical implementation within the demo.

These roles are essential for completing the demo version efficiently and with high quality.

Why Join Us

This is an ambitious yet promising indie project with a strong creative foundation and a dedicated team.
You’ll be joining a production that already has:

• A finished story and detailed project documentation,

• A functional first location,

• A solid audio and narrative base,

• A clear roadmap toward a full release.

For anyone interested, we’ll gladly share the complete story outline, demo design plan, and the overall concept for the full game upon request.

Hey!

I’m currently working on a dark narrative horror game called Devil’s Legacy — a psychological experience exploring guilt, redemption, and the seven deadly sins, set in a decaying family estate filled with secrets, symbols, and hallucinations.

We’re building a playable prologue/demo first, and we’re looking for an environment/prop artist who can help shape atmospheric, story-driven interiors — old manors, ritual basements, crypts, decaying halls, layered with symbolism and psychological tension.
Your skillset seems like a really strong fit for this type of work — and the fact that you’ve also got UX/UI design knowledge is a huge bonus for later stages.

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to reach out to me directly via Discord — it’s the easiest way to chat:
📩 cloudxst

Would love to talk more and see if you'd be interested in joining the team!

Hey!

I'm working on a narrative-driven psychological horror project called Devil’s Legacy – a dark, emotional story about sin, guilt, redemption and family secrets, heavily inspired by themes like the seven deadly sins, biblical symbolism, and atmospheric horror (think Silent Hill, Layers of Fear, Hellblade).

We’re currently building a playable prologue/demo as a vertical slice, and we’re looking for a 3D artist to help us bring some of the locations and props to life — old manor interiors, ritual basements, crypts, psychological dream spaces, etc.
Your skills in modeling, rigging, and stylized low poly could fit perfectly, especially if you enjoy creating assets with eerie or symbolic tone.

If you’re interested in collaborating feel free to hit me up directly on Discord:

If so, feel free to add me — my Discord tag is: cloudxst

Hey everyone,

We're currently looking for talented 3D environment artists to join our ambitious psychological horror project called Devil’s Legacy, currently in development using Unity.

🧠 About the Project:

Devil’s Legacy is a narrative-driven, emotionally atmospheric horror experience focused on themes of trauma, guilt, and distorted reality. This is not your typical jumpscare-based horror — our goal is to create a deeply immersive and symbolically rich experience, with strong mood, storytelling, and exploration.

We’re currently in the demo phase and building out the first full environments. The overall world design is already in progress, and we’re now in need of artists who can help bring our environments to life in Unity — particularly with indoor areas and atmospheric room design.

✅ What We Offer:

• A highly motivated and skilled team (programmers, writers, concept artists, sound designer, etc.)

• Access to a large, organized library of 3D assets (interior kits, props, textures).

• A new partnership with 3D.SK, a leading reference/asset team, who are supporting our project and granting us access to their assets on request.

• A clear, structured demo breakdown and project vision document.

• A strong emphasis on collaboration and creative freedom — we want your artistic voice to shine.

🔍 Who We’re Looking For:

• Artists who can create or assemble realistic and moody indoor environments in Unity.

• Someone with a strong sense of visual storytelling through architecture, lighting, and set dressing.

• Experience with PBR workflows, Unity’s lighting system, and modular assets is a big plus.

• Bonus if you're also comfortable with kitbashing and layout design based on existing references.

💡 A Note on Compensation:

This is a passion project being built with long-term vision. The team is currently working under the agreement of fair revenue share once we secure funding.
Our current plan is to:

1. Release a high-quality demo to build interest and audience,

2. Either pitch it to publishers or raise funds for full development.

We completely understand that this may not be ideal for everyone, especially experienced professionals. But if you’re excited by the vision and want to be part of something meaningful, this could be a great match.

📥 Interested?
Feel free to reply here or contact me directly. I’ll be happy to send over our game overview and full demo plan, and answer any questions you have. Discord: cloudxst

Thanks for reading!

Hey!

I saw your post and really liked the quality of your work. I know you’re focused on paid work — totally fair and respected — but I thought I’d still reach out and share something with you.

I’m leading a psychological horror game project called Devil’s Legacy, being developed in Unity. It’s a dark, story-driven game with symbolic and emotional themes — and it’s the project I’m building my future game brand around.

We’re currently creating a demo with a dedicated team of passionate people (programmers, designers, writers), but we’re still looking for experienced developers who could help us take the technical side to the next level.

Right now, we’re not funded — so I completely understand if that makes this a no-go. But we’re offering agreements to all contributors that guarantee payment from funds raised after the demo (either from publisher deals or full game development funding).

If the project itself sounds even a little interesting to you, I’d love to show you more.

Totally respect whatever you decide — thanks for reading either way.

Hey!

Thanks for sharing your post — I read through it and I think you might be a great fit for a project I’m currently working on.

I’m leading development on a psychological horror game in Unity called Devil’s Legacy — a deeply narrative-driven project that explores themes like guilt, trauma, and the seven deadly sins. It’s structured as a dark, emotionally heavy story with surreal undertones and symbolic environments.

We already have a strong core story and character arcs outlined, but we’re looking for someone with real writing experience to help us take the dialogue and narrative presentation to the next level.
Your experience with screenwriting and theater really stood out to me — I think it could bring depth, natural pacing, and that extra layer of realism we’re aiming for.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d love to share more about the game, the demo we’re working on, and how you could get involved creatively.

Feel free to reach out to me directly on Discord if you're up for chatting — my tag is:

🎮 Devil’s Legacy – Team Expansion: We’re looking for 3D Artists! (Environments, Props, Characters)

Hey everyone,

My name is Szymon Pajonk, and I’m the creator and narrative director of a game currently in development called Devil’s Legacy — a narrative psychological horror built around exploration, symbolism, guilt, redemption, and the seven deadly sins.

We’ve been working hard on this project for the last few months and now that we’ve built a strong technical and design team, we’re officially opening up recruitment for talented 3D artists to help bring the game's atmosphere and vision to life.

🧠 What is Devil’s Legacy?

Devil’s Legacy is a story-rich, single-player psychological horror game, combining the emotional depth of games like Silent Hill 2, the symbolic immersion of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, and the environmental storytelling of Layers of Fear. The game is structured into seven acts, each based on one of the seven deadly sins, framed within a dark biblical narrative, family tragedy, and inner descent into madness.

You’ll explore a massive ancestral estate, solving puzzles, uncovering hidden truths, and surviving encounters with demons — all of which reflect internal psychological torment rather than classic horror tropes.

✅ What We Already Have

We’ve made significant progress, including:

• 🔹 A detailed narrative structure for the entire game (7 Acts + Prologue, full arcs, endings, key choices, etc.)

• 🔹 A fully developed and written Prologue (designed as a playable vertical slice/demo)

• 🔹 Complete lore & symbolic structure (heraldry, family history, sin/demon associations, biblical symbolism)

• 🔹 Prototype-ready documentation (PDF concept docs + blockout flow)

• 🔹 A committed and talented team of programmers, level designers, writers, planners

• 🔹 Full mechanics breakdown (lighting mechanics, exploration, interactive journals, retrospection sequences, environmental puzzle logic)

• 🔹 Development underway in Unity (open to UE if future team votes otherwise)

• 🔹 Internal task system + roadmap in progress

Now… we need visual artists to bring it all to life.

🎯 Who We’re Looking For (3D Artists)

We’re currently only recruiting:

🛠️ 3D Environment Artists

• Gothic, moody interior/exterior spaces (manor rooms, crypts, forest paths, decaying architecture)

• Realistic but stylized

• Preferably with experience in modular workflows (walls, doors, furniture)

🗿 3D Prop Artists

• Antique props, ritual objects, books, altars, furniture

• Assets that support lore-heavy storytelling

• Interest in psychological symbolism or religious iconography a bonus

🧍‍♂️ 3D Character Artists

• Realistic characters with stylized psychological “twists” (e.g. corrupted or symbolic designs)

• Ghosts, demons (representing sin), family members, spectral hallucinations

🎨 Visual Style

• Semi-realistic with symbolic surrealism

• Dark tones, dense atmosphere

• Heavy use of lighting, shadow, fog, and storytelling-through-environment

• Think: Hellblade, The Medium, Silent Hill, The Evil Within – with a gothic European touch

We also have visual references, concept moodboards, and early AI-generated mockups to communicate tone and design goals clearly.

📅 Project Scope

We're currently focusing on building a vertical slice / prologue demo, which includes:

• Several explorable rooms in the estate

• Full scripted intro sequence

• Puzzle-based environment interaction

• Cutscenes and transitions

• First demonic encounter (Act 1: Pride)

This demo will be used for publisher pitching, crowdfunding campaigns, and community building.

We estimate the prologue will take 4–6 months to fully complete with a stable core team.

💸 Compensation / Revenue Plan

Currently, this is an unpaid collaboration — for the demo phase only. We’re transparent about it.

However, once the demo is complete, we’ll:

• Pitch the full game to publishers / investors

• Launch a crowdfunding campaign if needed

• Move to a paid production model once funding is secured

• Offer revenue shares and/or future positions based on early contributions

Everyone will of course be credited, and I’ll personally ensure visibility of each artist’s contributions (ArtStation, portfolio showcases, feature callouts in the game’s credits).

📲 Contact Info

If you're interested or just want to talk and learn more, reach out directly!

• 📧 Email: szymon200ruda@interia.pl

I’ll be happy to send you:

• A full PDF breakdown of the project

• Visual references and moodboards

• Flowchart of the demo

• Details on the art tasks and timeline

❤️ Final Thoughts

This project is deeply personal for me. It’s about redemption, legacy, trauma, and faith — themes that hit hard and mean a lot to many people, including myself. I want to make something emotionally powerful, visually memorable, and artistically meaningful.

If that speaks to you — let’s talk.

This project is deeply personal for me. It’s about redemption, legacy, trauma, and faith — themes that hit hard and mean a lot to many people, including myself. I want to make something emotionally powerful, visually memorable, and artistically meaningful.

If that speaks to you — let’s talk.

Thanks for reading,

Hey Yoganand! I just saw your post and wanted to reach out — your work looks really solid and it’s great to see that kind of passion for 3D art.

I’m currently leading a horror narrative game project called Devil’s Legacy. We’ve got a full indie team built around sound, voice acting, programming, level design and more — and we’re in the early stages of building our vertical slice/demo.

At the moment, we’re working fully as a passion project, so everyone’s contributing to build something great together and hopefully turn it into something much bigger down the line.

If you’re interested, I’d love to send you more info about the project and demo we’re working on — and we’d be happy to have you on board if it feels like the right fit for you!

Let me know what you think, or just add me on discord: cloudxst

Hey Emanuele! Thanks for reaching out — glad to hear you're interested in the voice acting role!

You can either send me a friend request on Discord or just drop your Discord tag and I’ll add you.

Hey everyone,

We’re an indie team currently working on a psychological horror game called Devil’s Legacy, built in Unity.
Right now, we’re entering a crucial stage — we’re preparing a gameplay trailer by the end of May, aiming to submit it to a funding program that could provide up to $300,000 in support for selected indie projects.

We’re looking for 3D artists to help us create the visual assets needed to bring our demo to life for this trailer.
This includes:

• Environmental art

• Props / interior modeling

• (Optional) Basic character modeling or scene setup

The trailer will be around 2–3 minutes long, focused on atmosphere and gameplay, not cutscenes. If we’re selected, we gain funding plus visibility and marketing help — and if not, the trailer will still serve as the launch for our Steam page and wishlist campaign.

We’re currently an unpaid indie team (volunteer-based), but this opportunity could help us move into full production with proper funding and support. If we get funded, contributors will be paid based on involvement.

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Hey everyone,

We're currently working on an indie horror game project titled "Devil’s Legacy" — a story-driven, psychological horror with heavy atmosphere, mystery, and emotional depth.

Right now, we’ve completed a detailed demo concept with a fully written-out narrative structure, scenes, puzzles, and gameplay ideas. The story focuses on trauma, guilt, and the twisted legacy of a broken family — think Amnesia, Silent Hill 2, and SOMA for reference.

We’re now entering the early development phase, and we’re looking for passionate collaborators to help bring this vision to life.

🎯 We’re currently looking for:

• 3D artists (environment/props/characters – even stylized or graybox-friendly)

• Programmers with experience in Unity (especially with first-person systems, interaction, UI, etc.)

We’re all working on this as a passion project at the moment (non-commercial phase), but we’re aiming to bring this to a high level and pitch it to publishers once the demo is fully playable.

About the Game:

"Devil's Legacy" is a psychological horror game focused on atmosphere, narrative, and player choices. The game will center around a terrifying experience, blending mystery and tension in a way that immerses the player into a chilling world.

Current Stage:

• Story: We have a complete story outline, including the first act and epilogue.

• Gameplay Mechanics: The core mechanics are still in development, and I need help building the systems and implementing interactions.

• Design: The game’s setting is a dark, atmospheric mansion, with puzzles and horrors lurking around every corner.

What I’m Looking for:

1. Programmer(s): Someone who can help implement the game mechanics in Unreal Engine. Knowledge of blueprints and C++ is essential. I need someone who can make this horror game functional and engaging.

2. Sound Designer: I’m looking for a talented sound designer to create eerie soundscapes, atmospheric audio, and sound effects that will immerse players in the game’s world.

3. Voice Actors: The game will have narrative-driven elements, and I’m looking for voice actors for key roles, including the main character and other entities in the game.

4. Additional Roles: If you’re passionate about game design, have experience with Unreal Engine, or just want to contribute your talents to a unique indie project, feel free to reach out!

Why Join?

• Creative Freedom: I’m building a game that prioritizes atmosphere and storytelling, with no limits imposed by large corporations. Your input and ideas will truly shape this project.

• Long-term Potential: If "Devil’s Legacy" is successful, we’ll have the opportunity to expand into sequels and further projects, and everyone involved will have the chance to grow with the brand.

• Portfolio Building: This is a great chance to contribute to a high-potential indie project. Whether you’re just starting your career or looking for exciting new challenges, this project could be a great addition to your portfolio.
