🎮 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).

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.

Thanks for reading,
