Hey everyone!

I’m working on a pet simulator game inspired by Talking Tom Friends, and I’m looking to build a small team to bring the project to life.

The idea is to create a fun, interactive game where players can:

  • Take care of multiple pets
  • Customize them (skins, accessories, etc.)
  • Play mini-games
  • Interact with a shared environment (house system)

🎮 Current Progress

  • Basic concept planned
  • Game engine: Unity
  • I have experience in programming (Python, Unity, web dev) and will be handling core systems

👥 Looking For

1. 3D Artist / Character Designer

  • Stylized/cartoon animals
  • Accessories (hats, collars, etc.)

2. Animator

  • Simple, expressive animations (idle, eating, playing)

3. UI/UX Designer

  • Clean, mobile-friendly interface
  • Fun and colorful style

4. Sound Designer

  • Cute sound effects, UI sounds

5. Game Designer

  • Design the minigames and behaviours 

💡 Important Notes

  • This is currently a passion project, not paid (if the game makes money later, we can discuss sharing it)
  • Great opportunity if you want to:
    • Build a portfolio
    • Work on a full game project
    • Learn teamwork in game dev

🚀 Goal

Create a polished, fun mobile-style pet simulator that could potentially be released on Itch.io (and maybe mobile stores later).

Let’s build something awesome together 🐶✨

Hello!

I am very much interested in being a sound designer and/or a game designer for this project

A recent game I helped make is I EM ME on itch.io. The game is a student project where we had a limited timeframe of about 2-3 months to create it, so it does contain a few bugs, but the stuff I worked on, which was sound design and game design is completely polished!

I don't have a formal portfolio made yet, and I'm hoping this will help that.

I can contribute as much time as needed currently, however as I get a part time job to assist me in rent, I would still have time for the project, it might just be less time.

Excited for this project whether I am involved in it or not! :)

Hey!

My names Alfie, I’m a sound designer and composer for games, films, animation and other media. I’m interested in helping out and filling out the role of Sound designer for your game

I have experience working in game engines such as unity and unreal, implementing audio and creating audio systems. I’m currently working on a project for an unreal 5 dev where I am leading the audio implementation and creating the sound effects for it too, unfortunately I can’t share any gameplay as it is still in development but I will share my website page which has examples of my game audio and other sfx projects as well (you can ignore my rates as I am happy to do this for free) 

I finish Uni at the start of May so after may 1st I will have loads of time for the project hopefully we get the chance to work together either on this project or others in the future, Cheers : )

Hey Alfie,

Thanks a lot for reaching out and for sharing your experience — it sounds like you’ve got some solid skills, especially with Unity and Unreal audio implementation.

I just wanted to let you know that the sound designer position for this project has already been filled. That said, I really appreciate your interest, and I’ll definitely keep you in mind for future projects since your background fits really well with what I usually look for.

Best of luck with your current Unreal project, and feel free to stay in touch! Cheers 🙂

Hi WajanDev! Your mobile game idea with pets seems adorable! ^^
I'm Adriana, I am an Italian freelance video game localizer. If you’re considering expanding your game (when it will be ready) to additional languages, I’d be happy to help with Italian localization, including in-game text, UI, store page... ^^
If you are interested you can contact me on Discord: adry_00_ or by email: adry00wolf@gmail.com

Sure, once the game is ready I will keep you in mind for localization!

Thank you! ^^
