Hello all,

Over the past six months, I’ve been developing a game called The Gift of Perfection, and I’ve now reached the stage where I’m ready to build a small, focused team to bring it to life.

This is a thematic, system-driven horror RPG where the world reacts to how “perfectly” the player behaves. The core mechanic, the Perfection Meter, tracks player decisions and gradually transforms gameplay, visuals, and character relationships in ways that are both unsettling and emotionally impactful.

I’ve been working with a 30-year game industry veteran who has helped refine the concept from an interesting idea into something designed to stand out commercially. Their guidance has been focused on tightening the core loop, clarifying the unique selling points, and aligning the design toward something that can realistically stand out as a successful indie release. I’ve completed the core design, narrative, and systems, and I’m now looking for collaborators to help turn this into a polished, publishable indie title (targeting platforms like Steam).

What You’ll Get Out of This:

   • Real shipped project experience (not just a prototype)

   • Strong portfolio piece with a unique, standout concept

   • Creative ownership: your work will directly shape the game

   • Small team environment where your contributions matter

   • Potential revenue share if the project succeeds

   • A chance to help build something meaningful, original, and emotionally driven

Roles I’m Looking To Fill:

    • Programmer

   • 3D Environment Artist

   • Character Artist / Animator

   • UI Designer

Basic Requirements:

   • Ability to read and communicate in English

   • Working knowledge of Unreal Engine 5

   • Ability to collaborate and communicate with a team

   • A portfolio or examples of previous work

Project Scope:

   • 5–7 hour indie experience

   • Built in Unreal Engine 5

   • Horror adventure RPG with reactive systems

   • Strong focus on player-driven consequences and emotional storytelling

Compensation:

   • Small upfront payment (case-by-case)

   • Revenue share on release

    • Happy to discuss specifics individually

Interested?

I’d love to talk through the project in more detail and see if it’s a good fit. If you’re interested, please reach out using the contact info below.

Hey! I was wondering if you might be looking for an audio composer too. I’m 21 and I’ve been making music for about 6 years. Right now I’m trying to gain experience in this field, and I’m open to working for free.I put a lot of passion into what I do. I really enjoy understanding a project’s soul and direction, and translating that into music that actually fits and supports the experience.I’d love to learn and work with a dedicated team, grow, and give my best to the project.Here’s some tracks i've published, I hope you’ll give it a listen: https://linktr.ee/weirdlink00. I also sended the freind request on discord (dariocazz)

Greetings! I am a freelance UE5 developer with strong experience in Blueprints. I aim to build highly scalable code making heavy use of interfaces, inheritance and ensure my code is easy to work with for other members of the team through heavy use of exposed parameters and minimal hard references and casts. I have sent you a friend request on discord, I'd like to dicuss the specifics with you. 

Hi can a professional jazz/r&b/soul singer be of interest? I don't charge I've always had this dream of putting my voice in a videogame.

Hi, I’m really excited about the concept of The Gift of Perfection and would love to contribute to the UI design. With my experience in creating intuitive and immersive interfaces, I believe I can enhance the player experience. Could you share any specific UI elements or themes you'd like to focus on for the game?

Hey, my name is Hailey. If you also needed a composer for your game, I think my style of music would fit the emotional horror RPG genre you're going for. I am an award-winning composer with over six years of experience composing and mixing in Ableton Live, and I have several examples of horror tracks on my personal portfolio site. Let me know if you're interested in working together! I also sent a friend request on Discord as HaileyJams.

Hey there. I'm a sound designer with two unreal titles on steam (one is being released in the next few weeks). I love horror and am very familiar with UE5 blueprints so I do my own programming implementation.
