[Help Wanted] Looking for Passionate Collaborators – Let’s Build Something Great Together!

Hi everyone,

I’m an aspiring game developer with a deep passion for game ideas and storytelling. I’ll be honest up front—I’m more of an “ideas person” right now, but I’m actively working to change that. I want to get hands-on and truly learn game development by building real projects with a small team of passionate people.

I’m not doing this alone—my partner has a degree in game design, and we’re both eager to put that knowledge into action. We’ve got a range of fresh, unique game concepts that we believe have real potential to stand out and shake things up in the indie space.

I understand that ideas alone don’t make a game, and this is not a “you do the work, I take the credit” situation. I will be fully involved throughout the development process—whether that’s learning design tools, managing tasks, contributing writing/worldbuilding, or helping with anything else the team needs. My goal is to grow alongside the project.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Programmers (any experience level)

  • Artists (pixel, 2D, or 3D welcome)

  • Composers/Sound Designers

  • Anyone excited to collaborate and learn

Whether you're a beginner like me or more experienced and looking for a creative project to sink your teeth into, we’d love to hear from you.

Project Scope:

We're aiming to start small (maybe a game jam-style prototype or a short vertical slice), and build momentum from there. Think creative indie vibes, narrative-driven or gameplay-focused—we’re flexible, and we’ll decide as a group.

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to reply here or message me directly. Let’s make something awesome together!

Thanks for reading 🙏
– Fen

Hello Fen,

Your post immediately caught my eye, because at the current moment I am in such a similar position myself. I am a huge advocate of games as not only a storytelling medium but as a form of art, and for years its been my dream to work on something that has the passion, soul and humanity of the games that inspired and resonated with me the most.

I dont have much professional experience, though I did formerly direct a relatively small passion project. More than anything I am trying to get my foot in the door and perhaps in the near future bring the spirit and ideas i only dreamed of to life. Perhaps thats why this project resonates with me

As for what role I'd be looking to fill, Music Composition and Sound Design, Writing, System Designer, PR, Event Director, and for that matter, any Directorial Role are what I would feel most confident in, though I do have experience in programming and pixel art if neccesary, though admittedly the majority of my work in those roles tends to be mostly directorial.

Regardless if you believe I could be of service to this team, please dont hesitste to reach out to me on discord: seventh_coda. I look forward to hearing from you. 

Thank you for your time

I believe your service would be HIGHLY valued, having someone to pass ideas around helps with opening more doors then just one at a time, I know some people who specialize in programming, 3D and other development skills lack open minded creative ideas, which is where i feel like i am strong. I would be happy to add you to the team. Now simply looking for some Hard developers to bring our plans and ideas to life.

I am more than happy to do hard dev work as well! In particular, Music Composition and Writing are my strongest skills, but im also willing to work on any other task that needs to be fulfilled. 

By any chance to you have a discord server or any other place to collaborate and communicate? If so, please feel free to add me! My user is "seventh_coda"

we have just created a discord server, I have sent a friend request :)

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"

(+1)

these sound amazing, having more insight on songs would give us a better variety aswell, just out of curiosity are you able to create like dramatic boss fight vibes ?

i could certainly try, not looking for money, just a fun project, if you add me on discord that would make it easiest to send you music files. ill make some demos and you tell me what i should change, and what i should keep.

added on discord

Hello, that sounds great. I'm a website and infographic designer, so far I've only done stupid meme novels to mess with goofs, but I haven't participated in any serious game development. But I'm still a very fast learner, and I've always been passionate about game development. I know the basics of programming, a little knowledge of python and C.  I also have knowledge of UI and ux designs, but for websites and applications, I think the situation is similar with games, and I'll quickly get used to both UI and games. I also know several languages, and if necessary, I can help with translating the game into other languages.

thats fantastic :D do you have a discord i can add as it would be our main form of communication :) 

my discord: botankaaa

i am unity dev .i'm looking for a team .

this is my discord :rez_dev

added you on discord :D 

Hello Fenriuls, this is a great opportunity! I would like to be the 2d artist? You could ask me for a few samples first as a try?

that would be amazing, our proper common form of communication would be done through discord, do you have one :) 

I do, it’s Funova78 

I'll be creating a discord server this weekend, if any of y'all know others that would be interested let me know :D thank you all for showing your interest

Hi Fen,

I saw your post and would love to be a part of this project! I'm a concept artist and illustrator with a lot of ideas floating around in my head. My specialty is in environment/background design with prop design. But I have a passion for anything art/design related. I love being able to work with others in order to see dreams come true! I also share the opinion that video games can be used as a storytelling medium. 

I don't have any professional experience in games, but I have an educational background as a Bachelor's in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Illustration. I'm more than anything looking to get my foot in the door into game development and production work. I'm hoping one day I'll be able to be an art director on a project so I can have my dreams become a reality.

I mainly do 2-D work, although I have 3D experience in ZBrush from my time at university. And I currently mess around with it for composition purposes in my concept art. 

My portfolio is here at https://abigalemorris.artstation.com/

I have some other work in my backlog that I can show as well. Feel free to reach out ^^

My contact info is as follows:
My email is abigaleillustrations@gmail.com
My Discord is alphabigale. 

Thank you for the time to hear me out!

I can write quests, random encounter, and other dialogue found in the game. Check out my X page to contact me or just drop a comment here https://x.com/Skinny_Skinless

Hi, 

I'm a Godot/Unity senior game programmer with 7+ years of experience, available for hire. 

I would love to bring in my knowledge to help out the team. You can check out my portfolio here: www.edouardmurat.com

I can pretty much do anything that involves some form of programming (AI behaviors, gameplay mechanics, procedural generation, UI logic, shaders, website, database...).

If you're interested, you can directly contact me on discord: edouard_m

Just to clarify, when you say "for hire" you mean ? :D

I am available for a paid project, at a low rate of 30$ CAD per hour.

Oh nice, hate to say it tho this is a passion project :). Thank you tho

I am interested in collaborating with you and possibly future endeavors! I and an extreme beginner in C# coding (Unity) and have tried my hands at different engines. I found myself more comfortable with unity, but I am willing to branch out and try new things too. I have a very creative mind and i am not afraid to share thoughts ^^

If you wanna get in touch with me, my discord is: YourLocalHyper

Hi! Im a fairly new game developer as well looking for a team to work with a improve! Do you think you could add me on discord so I could ask a few questions? _numblittlebug

Hi Fen! I've been passionate about game development for over 6 years. While I don’t have any fully finished projects yet, I truly love making games and am constantly learning. I'm also a fairly well-known musician in certain circles and often compose music for my own games. Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed by how many people responded to your post — but I’d really love to be a part of this too.

Im really glad you reached out :), do you have a discord i can send an inv too :D ?

yatashi25, I think this is my discord. I don't use it often so I don't know what exactly to insert to find a person...

Hi Fen,

I'm a composer looking for projects to be a part of and I would like to offer my services if you're still looking?

Some of my work can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulMichaelHarrison

My work spans lots of genres and includes a large range of instrumentation from strong orchestra pieces for epic boss battles to piano and synth pads for a more minimalistic/ chilled atmosphere.

your work sounds amazing, we are a passion project team please do keep that in mind, if you are ok with it if you send me your discord i can add you to the discord server :D 

my discord is fx1989

Sup Fen, I’ve been using Unity for around a decade. I’m a programmer first, comfortable across the API at a somewhat intermediate level, and I love digging through systems to squeeze more performance and streamline workflows. I haven't really posted much of my work across the internet over the years because all my work was self-growth and I haven't really thought about showing experimental & small systems, besides this: https://github.com/OmniGiovanni/Unity-Twitch-OAuth-Access . I made game prototypes in the past but nothing that really clicked. I can also do okay 3D modeling (blockouts/simple to mid-level props) when needed. I always wanted to join and collaborate with others, doing stuff that I enjoy most. My times are super flexible too if that's an asset. Let me know if you can find a great use for me—I'm willing to help out as much as I can.

I believe I can find a great use for everyone, what's your discord so I can send an inv :D

Hey Fen, seems like you have gotten may replies already. I have started on a game in Unity...more like created some systems that I have no idea what to do with lol. I am finding game creation to be quite overwhelming and am looking to join a team and create something awesome. I am a coder. I work as a software engineer and just in my free time, create things in Unity. If you have need for someone to write code for a project, I would love to join the team. I would say I have an intermediate level of skill in Unity. 

Always looking for a coder :D dO you have a discord ?

I don't know anything about programming but I would love to help, I may not be useful but I would love to learn, I don't know if it's useful or not but I love to draw, and I am creative I eventually wrote a couple of short stories for a writing class and I also have pass my English classes with A's and my art classes with A's to B's, I don't think I am good at art but others say I am good at art, I don't honestly believe them even though some strangers have complemented me before, any I am open to learning new things and I am a curious person I love learning. I hope I am not talking to much. Please let me know if feel obligated to do so.  Anyway thank you for your time. Have an amazing week

I have sent you a friend request :D

Hi! I am a 2D artist and illustrator looking for a team to join. My art style is very cute chibi/cartoon like and I’m mainly into horror/ psychological games that use cute artwork for their characters (like Paper Lily, Omori or The Kid at the Back) especially games that have pixel RPG aspects to it. I can do sprites, promo art and concept art!
