I can do modeling and animation. Plus some programming but it's worse than the 1st 2 skills

Hi! I do modeling and I also do animation. Plus programming, but it's a little worse than my other 2 skills. Discord?

Hey, I go by Vitroell I’ve been working solo on a Soulslike project for about 2 months now, so it’s not just an idea, I’ve got the basics in place already (main character, enemies, core systems, etc.). I’ve been learning Unreal Engine 5 for 3 months, so I’m still early but making steady progress

I also know how to model and animate in Blender, which is whereall of my current assets come from. This isn’t some serious business thing — I’m mostly looking for 1–2 passionate people to build and learn together, more like gamedev friends than partners with contracts and deadlines

The world / story (surface level)

The world was once woven by a lonely god-like puppeteer, who created everything in his own image. When he finished, he made four main puppeteers, each ruling a clan built around a core ideal:

Poetism

Selflessness

Rule

Peace

Each of these puppeteers created their own puppets, and control flowed downward — minor puppeteers controlling lesser ones, meaning almost no one truly has free will.

Then a plague of unknown origin spread through the world, rotting limbs at their very roots and causing them to fall off — clean, but agonizing. The god was put into a deep sleep by a legendary Sickle, used by one of the puppeteers, leaving him unable to stop it

Betrayed and abandoned, three clans turned on him and renamed themselves:

Pride

Tyranny

Chaos

Only Poetism stayed loyal, choosing isolation and study to understand why the god allowed this to happen

When the god finally awakens and sees what’s left, he creates you as a last resort. Your task is to defeat the four puppeteers so the world can be reset. Including the one that has not turned against him.

That’s just the surface story — the rest is told through environments, enemies, and details, Soulslike-style

What I’m looking for

Chill, motivated devs who like Soulslike / dark fantasy games

Low-pressure, hobby-level collaboration

People who enjoy experimenting, iterating, and sharing ideas

Any of these skills are cool (not required)

UE5 Blueprints or C++ (combat, enemies, AI, gameplay systems) - really needed

Environment art or props - really needed

Sound design or music

Generalist who just likes making games

What’s already there

Player character + enemy basics

Early combat foundations

Working prototype direction (still rough, but playable)

Blender pipeline for models + animations

If this sounds like your vibe shoot me a DM or reply with:

What you’re into / what you’d like to help with

Any past projects, clips, or GitHub (totally optional)

Your timezone / availability

gets kind of boring towards the end, but very cool game to make in a week

the ending is amazing, just see what I mean
