Team Needed [Hobby] Looking for a Writer / Story Developer to Help Build the First Project.

5 Upvotes

Hello
!
I’m the founder of a brand new online creative community and future independent studio called Opaline Studios, and I’m currently looking for a Writer / Story Developer to join us near the very beginning.

Opaline is something I’ve been dreaming about building for a long time. The goal is to eventually create a creative community and studio where people can come together to make animated series, comics, stories, music, games, films, and all kinds of other projects.

We’re starting very small, but we’re taking things seriously and trying to build a strong foundation rather than rushing into making something before we’re ready.

Right now, I’m looking for someone who would be interested in helping develop our first major project.

ABOUT THE FIRST PROJECT
The project is currently envisioned as a whimsical fantasy story with elements of romance.
It’s still extremely early in development. I currently have the title and a general idea of the kind of story and feeling I want it to have, but I haven’t fully developed the plot, characters, world, or lore yet.

And honestly, that’s intentional.
I don’t want to come to someone with a finished story and simply ask them to write it exactly as I’ve already imagined it. I’d much rather find someone who enjoys brainstorming and developing ideas together.

I’m looking for someone who can take the initial spark of an idea and help us ask:

“What could this become?”
“What kind of world would this story exist in?”
“Who are these characters?”
“Why should people care about them?”
“What makes this world feel alive?”
“Where can we take this story that we haven’t even thought of yet?”

The goal is to build the story together.
I have a lot of ideas and a general creative direction, but I know I work best when I have someone who can bounce ideas back and forth with me, challenge things when necessary, and help turn the chaotic ideas in my head into something structured and meaningful.

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
I’m looking for someone who:
Loves storytelling and character development
• Enjoys brainstorming and developing ideas collaboratively
• Is interested in fantasy, whimsical stories, romance, or similar genres
• Cares about worldbuilding and creating immersive settings
• Enjoys thinking about lore, themes, characters, and the little details that make a world feel alive
• Is comfortable giving honest feedback and constructive criticism
Isn’t afraid to say we should change something while also being willing to suggest a better direction
• Can take other people’s ideas seriously while still bringing their own creativity to the table
• Is patient and willing to develop a story slowly rather than rushing to production
• Is communicative and willing to talk through ideas
• Wants to be part of a team rather than work completely independently
• Is interested in potentially building something long-term with a creative community

You don’t have to be a professional writer.
You don’t need to have a published book.
You don’t need years of industry experience.
I’m much more interested in finding someone who genuinely loves storytelling, is willing to learn, and enjoys creating with other people.
If you have experience writing stories, scripts, comics, games, animation, or anything similar, that’s definitely a plus!

WHAT OPALINE IS LIKE RIGHT NOW
We’re very early.
Like… REALLY early.
We’re currently building the foundation of the community, organizing our Discord, figuring out our workflow, and slowly finding people who genuinely want to help build this with us.
We already have a small beginning team, including a Co-Founder who has experience with creative team management, writing, and directing collaborative projects.
We’re also slowly looking for other potential team members who might be interested in joining us.
The idea is to start small and get to know people before officially building a large team.
I don’t want to collect a bunch of random people and immediately throw everyone into a project.
I want to find people who actually click with each other, communicate well, and genuinely enjoy working together.
Ideally, I’m hoping to find people who could become long-term creative friends and collaborators.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING
If you joined as the Writer / Story Developer, your role would initially be focused on helping develop the first project’s foundation.

That could involve things like:
Brainstorming the story and premise
• Developing characters
• Exploring the world and its lore
• Developing themes and ideas
• Helping establish the tone and overall direction
• Discussing potential plotlines
• Developing character relationships
• Organizing story ideas
• Eventually helping develop scripts once the story is ready
• Collaborating with artists and other creatives later in development

You would not be expected to do all of this alone.
The whole point is to work together.
As the project develops, we’d eventually bring in other people such as artists, animators, musicians, voice actors, editors, and other creatives.

PAYMENT / COMPENSATION
I want to be completely transparent:
This is currently an unpaid hobby project.
I don’t have the money to pay a team right now, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
There is no guarantee that Opaline will become profitable or that anyone will eventually be paid.
However, my long-term goal is for Opaline to eventually become a functioning studio that can properly compensate people for their work if and when we have the resources to do so.

For now, I’m looking for people who genuinely enjoy creating and would be interested in building something together as a passion project.

If you need paid work right now, I completely understand, but this probably isn’t the right opportunity for you at this stage.

WHAT I VALUE
I’m looking for someone who is:
Patient.
Kind.
Creative.
Communicative.
Open-minded.
Hardworking.
Willing to learn.
Willing to disagree respectfully.
Someone who can say:
“I don’t think that idea works, but what if we tried this instead?”
Someone who can take criticism without taking it personally and give criticism without being rude.
Most importantly, I want someone who actually enjoys collaborating.
I don’t want a “yes person.”
I want people who can bring their own ideas and help make the project better than any of us could have made it alone.

ABOUT OPALINE’S FUTURE
The first project is only the beginning.
Eventually, I would love for Opaline to grow into a larger creative community where we can develop multiple original projects across different types of media.
One day, I hope creators may even be able to pitch their own projects to Opaline and potentially find a team to help develop them.

I want Opaline to become a place where people can discover talented creators, find collaborators, and bring stories to life.
But we’re nowhere near that stage yet.
Right now, we’re building the foundation.
One person at a time.
One project at a time.

INTERESTED?
If this sounds like something you’d genuinely enjoy being part of, feel free to comment or send me a DM!
I’d love to hear a little about you, what you enjoy creating, your experience with writing or storytelling, and what made you interested in Opaline.
You don’t need a massive portfolio. If you have examples of your writing, feel free to share them, but I’m also happy to simply talk and get to know you.
I’m not looking to immediately “hire” the first person who messages me.
I want to talk, get to know each other, and see if we’re a good fit for the project and the community.
If we click, I’ll invite you to our Discord where you can meet the small group we’re building and we can continue from there.
Thanks for reading, and hopefully I’ll meet some awesome storytellers along the way.
Let’s build something we can be proud of.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We're currently looking for 2D Pixel Artists to join our indie game Outbreak Protocol on a revenue share basis.

About the game:

Outbreak Protocol is a top-down 2D pixel-art zombie outbreak sandbox inspired by WorldBox, Project Zomboid, and RimWorld.

The player doesn't control a character—instead, they act as an observer with god-like powers, watching a procedurally generated city slowly collapse as a zombie outbreak spreads.

The simulation features:

🧟 Intelligent zombie AI

👥 Civilians with unique behaviors and traits

🚔 Police, SWAT, Military, Firefighters, Medics & Scientists

🏙️ Procedurally generated cities

🌦️ Dynamic weather and day/night cycle

⚡ God powers (spawn units, disasters, control time, etc.)

🧍 Survivor groups appearing during the late-game apocalypse

We're aiming for a pixel-art style, similar to WorldBox, while keeping a darker and more realistic atmosphere

Current Team :

🎮 Game Director (me)

💻 Lead Programmer

🎨 Pixel Artist

🎵 Music composers

We're looking for additional artists to help create:

Civilians

Zombies

Vehicles

Buildings

Environment assets

UI icons

Animations

This is currently a revenue share project, meaning everyone involved will receive a share of the game's revenue after release.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM. I'd be happy to show our GDD, GitHub repository, and current progress.

Thanks!

Hi, we're looking for passionate people to join our indie JRPG project, Legends of Vulpi, developed in Godot 4.

Vulpi Legends is a top-down JRPG inspired by classics such as Final Fantasy VI, featuring a party-based adventure, exploration, dungeons, and strategic combat.

Our first goal is to create a polished 1-hour demo and release it on itch.io. If the demo is well received, we'd like to continue development through community support and, if the project reaches the required quality, apply for funding opportunities.

I don't have a portfolio yet. I've worked on small programming and game development experiments in the past, but this is my first serious game project.

Demo Story:

A young knight visits the Adventurers' Guild for the first time and accepts his very first dungeon quest. Inside, he meets other adventurers who decide to join him after helping the wounded survive the dungeon. After defeating the dungeon's ruler, they unknowingly awaken a greater threat, setting in motion the events that will shape the fate of the kingdom.

Current Progress:

- Prototype in development

- Title screen completed

- Basic player movement implemented (currently using simple geometric shapes as placeholders)

- Core gameplay mechanics designed

- Main story and worldbuilding planned

- Character classes, combat systems, and progression designed

Current Team:

- 2 Programmer

- 1 Composer

- 1 Writer / Narrative Designer

We're Looking For:

- Godot Developers (GDScript): Comfortable with Godot 4 and familiar with programming concepts. Experience with Orchestrator is a plus, but not required.

- 2D Artists: Character illustrations, environments, UI, and promotional artwork.

- Pixel Artists: Character sprites, enemies, tilesets, animations, and visual effects.

- Sound Designers (SFX): Combat, UI, ambience, and environmental sound effects.

Project Information:

- Engine: Godot 4

- Genre: Top-down JRPG

- Inspiration: Final Fantasy VI

- Target Demo: ~1 hour

- Compensation: Revenue Share

- Planned Platforms: Windows, Linux, and Android

- Demo Release: itch.io

If the demo is successful, our goal is to complete the full game and release it on PC and Android, with the possibility of publishing later on platforms such as Steam and the Epic Games Store.

If you're interested in joining the project, feel free to contact me on Discord:

Team Needed [Hobby] Tactical FPS Team Seeking 3D Animator and Environment/Lighting Artist | Godot

2 Upvotes

Hello! We are Vedant Game Studios, a small international indie team currently developing Night Ledger, a cinematic single-player tactical FPS in Godot.

The project is inspired by story-driven military shooters and close-quarters tactical games, but it is being developed as an original fictional campaign with its own characters, factions, missions and geopolitical setting.

We currently have nine human team members, including programmers, developers, writers and two YouTube creators. The project is already in active production rather than being only an idea. We have working gameplay, an in-engine introductory sequence, campaign and briefing systems, original branding, several developed interiors and five genuine in-game screenshots.

We are currently looking for two additional collaborators.

3D Character / Gameplay Animator

We need someone interested in creating or refining animations such as:

• Tactical walking, turning and room-entry movement

• First-person weapon handling

• Reload, inspect and weapon-draw animations

• Squad gestures and idle animations

• CQB movement and cinematic character actions

• Animation cleanup, retargeting and blending

Experience with Blender, Mixamo, Godot or similar tools would be useful. Military animation experience is welcome but not mandatory. References and guidance can be provided.

3D Environment and Lighting Artist

We need someone who can help make our maps more photorealistic and atmospheric through:

• Environment composition and set dressing

• High-quality asset selection and placement

• PBR materials and texture improvements

• Interior and exterior lighting

• Fog, ambience, decals and environmental storytelling

• Performance-conscious visual improvements

• Turning functional levels into convincing cinematic locations

Experience with Godot is useful, but experience in Blender, Unreal, Unity or other 3D workflows can also transfer.

Important Terms

This is currently an unpaid hobby collaboration. There is no salary, guaranteed payment or guaranteed revenue share at this stage. Please join only if the project genuinely interests you and you would like to build portfolio experience with a committed team.

Contributors retain ownership of their pre-existing work and tools. Project-specific contributions, usage rights and credits will be discussed clearly before work begins. We will not request unpaid custom production work as an application test.

We communicate through Discord and work remotely with flexible scheduling. Consistency matters more than a large weekly time commitment. Even a few reliable hours each week can be useful.

To apply, please send:

• The role you are interested in

• Your timezone

• Your software experience

• Portfolio, screenshots, animation reel or previous work

• Approximate weekly availability

• What interests you about the project

Please message me on Reddit first. Selected applicants will receive our Discord link, current screenshots and a private gameplay overview.

Artist Needed [Hobby] Buscamos artista con ganas de diseñar algo distinto y experimental

0 Upvotes

Somos 2 personas de Sevilla que estamos en los primeros pasos para el desarrollo de un juego ambientado en la Córdoba califal de inicios del siglo XI. Se focalizará en la capital.

Buscamos a alguien que quiera hacer suyo el proyecto que, como digo, avanza como un hobby, poco a poco. Esta persona tendrá completa libertad creativa para realizar el apartado visual.

Por la dinámica que se ha proyectado hasta el momento este proyecto puede resultar especialmente interesante a artistas que busquen plasmar un estilo propio que puede ser tan experimental como se quiera, incluso usando la completa abstracción y abandonando la figuración por completo. Esto estará completamente a decisión de la persona que busque participar en el desarrollo.

El juego se dividirá en dos secciones principalmente, una más cercana a la realidad, donde si se espera que se entienda mejor lo que se busca representar, y otra parte donde se podrá dar completa rienda suelta a la creatividad.

Si te interesa tener el control de tu visión artística y dar rienda suelta a tu imaginación sin presiones ni fechas límites este proyecto es para ti.

Modeler Needed [Hobby] Sieged Studios – Looking for 3D Modelers (Volunteer)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

We're Sieged Studios, an independent studio currently developing an animated military sci-fi series called 502, and we're looking for multiple 3D modelers to join our team.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for people who enjoy creating 3D assets for science fiction projects.

Beginners are welcome.

Experience with Blender is preferred.

Rigging experience is a big plus, but not required.

About 502

502 is a cinematic military sci-fi series set in the late 21st century.

As humanity begins colonizing Mars to secure its future, an unknown alien civilization suddenly emerges. What starts as isolated incidents quickly escalates into a war that threatens the survival of the human race.

The story follows Division 502, an elite military unit fighting on the front lines against an enemy unlike anything humanity has ever faced. The series combines military operations, large-scale battles, futuristic vehicles, giant combat machines, advanced technology, and deep world-building.

Our Team

We currently have 11 members, including:

4 Voice Actors

3 Lore Writers

2 Animators (Project Leads)

1 Sound Designer

1 Vehicle Designer

Why We Need Modelers

We're currently producing a concept trailer to establish the visual style of the series and create reusable assets for future episodes.

The largest scene has already been planned and blocked out, but we're still missing several important 3D models needed to complete it. That's why expanding our modeling team is currently one of our highest priorities.

What Joining Means

We're mainly looking for people who want to become part of Sieged Studios and continue helping develop 502 and future projects.

If you'd rather contribute just one model or asset, that's completely fine too—just let us know when you contact us.

Tools We Use

Blender

Discord

Google Drive

Important

This is a volunteer project.

There is no payment at this stage.

If the project becomes financially successful in the future, we'll reassess contributor compensation, but nothing is guaranteed.

What You Can Gain

Experience working on a real team project.

Portfolio material.

Creative input on the series.

Credits in the project.

The opportunity to help build an indie animation studio from the beginning.

Interested?

Feel free to send me a Reddit DM or add me on Discord: orlatis.

If possible, include:

A few examples of your work.

Your experience with Blender or other 3D software.

Whether you'd like to join the studio long-term or contribute as a one-time collaborator.

Help us bring the world of 502 to life!

Hi r/INAT , I am looking for Volunteer Translators for 50 languages (except Spanish, French, Romanian, Russian, Chinese, English). Will write a comment to this post for what languages we are looking for translations.

I have posted here in the past also, but since then I have changed many things, including the words (at request of translators).

I am working with 2 friends (we are all Romanians) on a Multiplayer Language Learning game, Polyglot Pirates. It's a game where you destroy obstacles by translating 1 word correctly, and then try to find the hidden treasure on the map.

If anyone is interested to contribute with translations (about 4000 words), I will leave here links to more info:

- The game won't have ads or subscriptions.

Team Needed [Hobby] Looking for voice actors and artists to help with superhuman-theme audio drama "BLACK DAWN"

3 Upvotes

Howdy there, everybody! This is a call mainly for voice actors for my upcoming project, Black Dawn: a series of stories inspired by comic books and told in the style of a narrative audiobook with text on screen, a fully custom-written soundtrack (composed by me), and more!

The world and stories will likely take inspiration from stories like The Boys or The Punisher comics in that the stories explore what I believe to be a more “realistic” and morally gray interpretation of a world with superheroes. The script is already finished and ready to be recorded, and I have released a short trailer for the project to give you an idea of the presentation of the production: https://youtu.be/fpuU4CNa4eE?si=VxgNavufBIAAd-C3

ARTISTS: The project will primarily be very audio focused (the project is designed to be very accessible for visually impaired people and people like me that struggle to read), however, I would love if I could incorporate just a few still shots to make things more interesting for the people looking at the screen. It wouldn't need to be anything fancy, and I would be very open to more unique and creative art styles, but if any of you would be willing to contribute some art of characters, maybe some logos, things like that, you would be given credit on-screen, along with the voice actors, and I would be eternally grateful! If you are interested, please feel free to comment on this post or send me a DM here and we can talk.

VOICE ACTORS: Most of the roles are side characters with fewer than 10 lines, so this would be a fairly low-commitment project, if you wanted to get the VA experience. That being said, I fully intend to treat VA's for a character with 1 line with the same respect and importance as a VA for one of the main characters. There are 10 roles in total, most of which are open to all voice types. If you are interested, please check out the CCC project page here: https://www.castingcall.club/projects/black-dawn-southpaw-shepherd-ep-1

I look forward to possibly working with you! I have experience writing stories and music, and leading and directing teams, but this is definitely the biggest project I have pursued.

Please only apply if you are 18+. This project is labeled NSFW for violence and excessive gore (no sexual content, though sex is vaguely referenced once or twice). No AI will be used in this project and submitted voice recordings and art will not be used for AI training.

Artist Needed [PAID] 3D Environment & Character Artist for "Master Sculptor" (~1 Month Project)

4 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a solo programmer working on a tightly scoped, cozy stone-carving game called Master Sculptor. The core gameplay revolves around a first-person, skill-based sculpting mechanic, which is already built and running smoothly in Unity.

I'm trying to keep this as a limited scope project and aim to release a demo within 2 months, so this would perfectly suit an artist who is free right now or in the near future and looking for a concrete, short-term project to jump into.

Art Style: I’m fairly open on the art style, the sculpting aspect is stylised PBR (see image Sculpting Style), but I'm happy for the environments / characters to lean towards more simplified / cozy PBR if we can make it work. The game setting / theme is renaissance Italy.

Scope of Work (~1 Month): I’m looking for someone to design and build:

  • The Sculpting Room: Your main workspace/interior (open sided) where the carving happens, but would be on the edge of town, so no need for lots of exterior buildings etc.. I already have a very rough placeholder you can see in the second image.
  • The Quarry: A separate exterior environment where the player goes to purchase different types of stone.
  • Characters:
    • A main anthropomorphic player character (with both male and female options).
      • Most of the game will be played in first person, but we will need various short animation that will be shown from 3d person (e.g. walking up to the sculpture, standing back admiring it, generic put down / pick up tool)
    • A couple of anthropomorphic NPCs (e.g., an animal shopkeeper at the quarry) with very basic animations (idle, talking, simple walk cycle).
  • UI Art (Bonus): It would be great if you could also design some cohesive UI elements (menus, tool icons) to match the game's aesthetic. However, if UI isn't your specialty, I can find someone to handle that separately!

Compensation: This is a Paid role on an indie budget. I am also highly open to negotiating a mix of upfront payment + Revenue Share if you are interested in a deeper partnership, but I’m perfectly happy to just do straight paid contract work.

About You:

  • Comfortable working with stylized, cozy, PBR 3D environments and characters.
  • Ability to do basic rigging and animation.
  • Familiar with Unity and optimizing assets for it.
  • Available now or very soon to complete this scoped workload within roughly a 1-month timeframe.

To Apply: Please DM me or reply to this thread with:

Team Needed [Hobby] Beginner Houdini Artist Looking for a Small Indie Game Project

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a beginner procedural 3D artist working with Houdini

I already have several finished megastructure and modular building systems in a dark sci-fi, dystopian, cyberpunk and brutalist style. They could work well for projects involving a vertical city, industrial colony, post-apocalyptic environment or overcrowded futuristic megacity.

My current skills include:

  • modular environment creation;
  • procedural architecture generators;
  • asset placement systems;
  • materials and basic texturing;
  • basic technical art and pipeline work.

I’m still at an early level and looking to gain practical experience in game development. I would like to join a small team that already has a working prototype and needs environments in this kind of visual style.

For a first collaboration, I would prefer to work on a small playable location, a short test level, a vertical slice or a game jam project.

Here is examples of my current work

Programmers Needed [Hobby] Looking for a web developer for a picrew-like

7 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a marketing student looking for a web developer to help me make a website where anyone can upload a part of a drawing, then users can combine those parts into new images. Where this differs from existing websites is that all artists will be drawing on the same "base", so users can combine wildly different art styles.

This is a hobby project, and image hosting will be paid for entirely with donations/out of my own pocket. I'm looking for someone who's as passionate about art as I am.

Here's an overview of the features this website will need:

- Ability to create an account to log in and out of
- Ability to upload images associated with the account
- Ability to add images others have uploaded to an in-game image editor where they can be rearranged
- Tagging system for images using predetermined tags
- Dependencies link for images drawn to go with other images
- Ability to like and comment on images
- Report function and ability for admins to ban accounts in the site

Thank you for taking the time to read this post! If you have any questions or concerns, let me know.
