[HOBBY][UNPAID][COMPOSER] Composer / SFX Artist wanted for Indie Rogue-lite Demo

Hey Itch community,

I'm a solo dev working on a small 2.5D rogue-lite demo in Unity for my game Glyph Rift, and I'm getting ready for a first round of playtests / looking to get a demo out in the wild to begin gathering some feedback.

The game is a deckbuilder roguelite focused on crafting spells in combat by combining elemental glyphs, and is set in a dark fantasy / chem tech town trapped in a timeloop by a catastrophic event.

I've posted a few YouTube Shorts as developments progressed for anyone interested in seeing some of the game in action:

One of the areas completely beyond my skillset is composing music, and I'd love to get a few suitable tracks made for the demo to help sell the vibe, and emphasise the important narrative beats. Similarly my SFX work isn't great, and a more professional touch wouldn't hurt.

At this stage, the work is unpaid, with the aim of using the demo to build interest and gather feedback before pursuing avenues of funding for further development. Should the demo be well received and funding be secured, there may then be an opportunity for continuing paid work.

If you're interested in helping take the project to its next step, or just want to chat about the game, leave a comment with a way of contacting you below!

Thanks for your time,

Shot Goblin

Hey Muki,

Thanks for reaching out! I've tried to add you on Discord but don't seem to be able to find the user Muki97. 

If you're still interested in chatting, can you let me know if that's the correct user!

Best Wishes,

Shot Goblin


Hi, I might have given you the old username. Try muki_12391, or if it doesn't work you can give me yours. Thanks for messaging me

Hey Shot Goblin, I came across your post about Glyph Rift and I’m interested in collaborating on the project. The combination of deckbuilding, spell crafting, dark fantasy, and the time-loop setting sounds like a strong foundation for a game.

I’m a game developer focused on game design, gameplay mechanics, systems, and development, and I’d be interested in helping take the existing demo further and contributing to the game's overall development. I’d be happy to work alongside you and help turn the systems and ideas you already have into a more polished playable experience.

I understand the current work is unpaid while you’re building the demo and seeking funding, and I’m open to discussing a collaboration around that stage of development. I’d be interested in seeing the current build and learning more about what you’re planning for the next milestone.

If you’re still open to collaborators, I’d be glad to discuss how I can contribute.

I make orchestral and classical music, if that is something you would be interested in.
