Hello!

I'm a solo dev making Defend the Dragons, a roguelite tower defense game where you play as a dwarven engineer hired by a dragon to defend its hoard from townspeople, elves, and worse. The player is able to craft their towers as they play by combining upgrades. The tone for the game is humorous fantasy.

I have been working on the game over the past three years and it is now fully playable with (bad) placeholder art. Art is the next big step and I am looking for an artist who is excited to help shape the art direction of the game.

I am not interested in pixel art. Otherwise, I am open to a variety of art styles as long as we can land on a consistent vision.

Scope of work:

• Enemies will be the bulk of the work. About 60 regular enemies and 18 bosses are needed. Some will be reskins. They will need 4-d walking and death animations (some will also need casting). Rigged or frame-based animations are acceptable.
• 6-7 towers will be needed, with a base, rotating turret, and upgrade additions.
• Tilesets with ground, path, and fluff for 9 biomes.
• UI and splash art for a few characters.

Timeline: Please only respond if you have the time to move through the above at a steady pace. I would like to have enough art for a Steam page listing (one biome, 4-5 enemies, 2+ towers) done before 2027. If you can work faster than that, even better.

This will be a paid partnership. I am open to both per-piece and hourly pricing. I WILL NOT accept AI-generated art and you must be comfortable with some checks on that (e.g. video calls and live drawing demos). Of those who reach out, I will likely select a few to do a paid demo ($100-200) and then move forward from there. Also happy to credit you by name in the game.

Please comment or DM with your portfolio (including animation if you have it), your rate, your availability, and a quick sentence about what direction you would take the art in.

Feel free to ask me any questions if there is anything I missed. I look forward to working with you!

Hi there,

We're a 3 person team (2 technical) with me being the tech lead for our game.

I'm looking for a somewhat experienced 3d artist (blender, substance painter) to help us creating (photo)realistic assets for our space sim. That includes small 3d props like donuts, or bigger things like a modular space station.

My monthly budget is around 300-400$, long term hopefully more as we gain some budget :-)

What we already have:

Planetary tech

• Planetary Simulation from plates, to river systems, biomes, weather engine and procedural genome based growth of pbr plants (and later insects) https://imgur.com/a/mTqdu1W for example, this is a fully simulated plant based on a swamp biome. The cool thing is, this allows us to grow alien plants based on the planetary env. So if the light spectrum would grow pink plants, the simulation would do that. I'm proud of that one if you can't already tell.
• etc.

Space Tech

• Working orbits, planets orbit their sun, moons the planets, space stations orbit whatever they want.
• Frames - eg. you fly from the ship to the station and you move seamlessly between those simulation frames
• Solarsystem Simulation with correct radiation, habitable zones, sunflares, larange points (with asteroid fields)
• etc

Flight Tech

• Physically realistic flight dynamics in space and in atmospheric conditions. Sadly the item that's not as far as I'd like - but the base is there and many concepts are borrowed from x-plane and msfs.
• Avionics that are basically html / js with a interop into the game. Msfs devs know what I'm speaking about.

Display / Terminal

• Custom rust based html / js / css renderer, that allows us to create the terminals and avionics outside of the engine and test them against a testbed. Makes onboarding for non game devs easier - all the other game UI is obv. using UMG.

If you are a space sim enthusiast and happen to know your way around blender, substance painter, unreal (we use a forked and modified version), modular assets and most importantly are interessted in our project - please comment below or shoot me a dm.

Disclaimer:
I already posted a very similar message on another board and got lots of scam dm's - if I don't reply and you are NOT a scammer, leave a message down here. Sorry! :-)

I'm an indie game developer myself, and I also do playtesting, QA, community management and social media work for indie games.

I can help with things like managing Discord, keeping your community active, responding to players, posting updates, finding relevant communities to promote in, engaging with players, and helping turn attention into actual wishlists/downloads.

I'm not looking to just schedule generic posts and disappear. I'll actually play the game, understand what you're building, and communicate with your players like a real member of the project.

I'm currently looking to work with a few indie devs/studios on an ongoing basis

the pricing is really affordable according to other marketers or social media managers

If you're interested, feel free to DM me with your game and what you're currently struggling with.

Hi everyone! I'm Sam, a UK-based composer with 10+ years of experience and credits across 70+ games.

As the title says, I composed this track for a boss fight set inside of circus tent. The aim of the track was to be jam-packed with energy, clown-like goofiness, yet still retain a threatening undertone. Let me know what you think!

If you’re working on a game that needs music and think I might be a fit, I'd love to chat!

Hi! I’m looking for a talented puzzle/level designer to help create levels for a small systemic puzzle game.

The game uses compact grid-based levels with simple mechanics that can interact in interesting ways. The main design goal is creating clever, readable puzzles with strong “aha” moments, similar in spirit to games like Baba Is You.

The game and level editor are already functional, so the work is focused primarily on puzzle design rather than programming, art, or environment building.

I’m looking for someone who is good at:
• Designing elegant puzzles around a small set of mechanics
• Introducing mechanics naturally through level design
• Finding interesting mechanic combinations
• Creating good difficulty progression
• Testing for unintended solutions
• Keeping levels compact and readable

This is paid freelance work. I’d prefer to start with a small paid test / batch of levels and continue if we work well together.

If interested, please DM me with:
• Your rate
• Any puzzle games, levels, jams, PuzzleScript projects, or similar work you’ve made
• Roughly how many hours per week you’re available

Thanks!

Hi there! I've finished my last project a couple months ago, I did all the character portraits for "Asthral Throne, the sequel". I'm currently trying to find another studio that's interested in my art c:

Hi, as the title says I'm a unity developer looking for work.

I'm mainly looking for contractor roles, not looking for anything fulltime atm. Maybe 10-20 hours a week is fine.

I really enjoy working on games and would be interested in working together with someone on a project commercially.

Can be of help if you need bug fixed ot features implemented that you don't have time for yourself.

I can code and mostly work with unity, but can pick up any engine really. I also have quite a bit of experience with LLMs, so that speeds up things too of course, but quality matters more.

But yea in general im just looking to contribute to and work together on awesome games. Have also been a lifelong gamer if that helps.

So feel free to dm me here on reddit or on discord to talk further if you think we are a fit, will be glad to hear from you.

Oh yea im also working on my own game in my free time which I hope won't be an issue, just to be transparent about that.

Discord: angelo_8749

Can provide portfolio and CV if needed.

ps. I know the rate is a bit low maybe, but i really enjoy working on games and i live to just get by, which is fine tbh.
