I'm looking for a system to be created where I can easily and accurately put new weapons into my game. What I need is someone comfortable with the first person arm animation to make it such that it will properly hold different weapon types. Get in touch on Discord if you are interested or have questions.

I've released an early playable demo, link below. I've got some big ideas and I want to get a studio started. While I have the capability to get things going on my own, I'd like to explore collaborating with others to get things moving faster, and better than I could on my own.

Check out the game and, if you like the concept, feel free to get in touch on Discord.
Bonus points if you have experience in:
Marketing
Fundraising (crowd funding included)
Community Management

Hey everyone! I just released an early demo for my game called Axis Zero: Training. It's a survival FPS where you control your own gravity. It’s one of the only FPS games where you actually move and fight ACTUALLY in 3D, not just on flat surfaces. The goal is simple: fly around using platforms, destroy the holographic targets, and survive as many waves as you can (boss fights show up every 5 waves). The walls are lava, the rooms get crazier, and there’s also a Sandbox mode if you just want to practice. This is an early build focused on the core mechanics, so any feedback would mean a lot!

This is the first version that I'm posting, and the game mode is certainly the demo. I'd love to hear what you think of it!

As this project moves forward, what do you want to do with this gravity mechanic?

I’m sure this isn’t where a slew of marketers go for opportunities, but if you’re here I want to talk to you!

The demo for my game is almost ready for release but I have 1 big weakness: I’m not good at building a community. I’m looking for someone who can cover that weakness and I’m willing to negotiate what that partnership will look like. 

Please get in touch on Discord if interested!

I’m a solo dev and I’m getting ready to finish my first game. I don’t want to put it on Steam until there’s some semblance of a following and I’m not good at marketing. Looking for someone to help build that following and start a kickstarter.

Price is negotiable, but the intention would be a percentage of what comes in.

Hey, I'm new to dev. If I rotate the player's gravity, how can I change the FPS camera appropriately? Effectively, how can I change what the camera thinks is "down"? Idk the proper terminology.

Looking for an Unreal dev to aid in building a basic POC/Prototype to use for investment/grant opportunities. The selected dev will be compensated QUITE fairly once the investment/grant funds come in, and will be first in line for a full-time position once that becomes an option.

The prototype is rather simple for someone with a basic understanding of game development, my issue is that I'm a designer/director. Get in touch for more information.

Your experience does not matter to me. If you can get the job done, part of the funding received (not part of your portion) can go to extra training for you. We're all in this together.

Get in touch here or via discord.

The goal is to make a simple prototype to send to investors. If you're an Unreal dev who wants in on the ground floor of an ambitious studio, get in touch.

Long story short - How do I rotate the first person camera and character if gravity changes? I've gotten it so that the gravity will change, and so that the character will move along surfaces properly, but the camera still acts as though nothing has changed.

Get in touch. I've got some ideas.

Seeking a passionate Unreal game developer to collaborate on an exciting prototype for a first-person shooter with a game-changing mechanic. This mechanic ensures that gameplay in this FPS will be played in a significantly different way.

Here's the plan: I need someone to help develop a prototype that showcases this innovative mechanic. Once the prototype is ready, we'll use it alongside a pitch deck to attract investors and secure funding. The developer involved in the prototype will have a guaranteed role in the project and fair compensation moving forward. We can discuss compensation before any work starts.

If you're passionate about pushing boundaries and creating unforgettable gaming experiences, I want to hear from you! Let's innovate together and make gaming history!

I'm actually looking to do something kinda crazy in Unreal. Let me know if you wanna chat!

Discord: shenanigans303

Putting together a co-op project for a new indie studio. The concept is, essentially, a gamified, scifi, Sea of Thieves (to put it vaguely).

The goal is to have investment funding before the project is complete. Salaries will be the utmost priority.

If you have any interest in being on the ground floor of a dynamically different studio (and want to hear more or get involved) get in touch on Discord.

Hello Itch!

Sort of a repost. I'm looking for a small team of developers to help create a POC "demo" of a game that can be used to create a video to send to investors. My business and investment connections have shown legitimate confidence in this project, and the subsequent studio that will go along with it, and its ability to receive pre-seed funding. The only step that needs to be accomplished first is a proof of concept to show the investors along with the deck. If you want a little more insight into my game philosophies, check out my blog at ctrlzevolve.com. Don’t worry, there’s nothing to buy or donate to, it’s just thoughts.

Process Details
-If you are a part of the process, your salary will be built into the business plan and will be a definite part of what the studio needs to be funded. I will not, in any way, negotiate you down after the fact. We can and will discuss potential salary before the project starts for the sake of deciding the studio's ask of the investor(s).
-The POC will be created with marketplace assets. After being funded, the full game will be made with custom/original assets and an art team will be contracted/hired.
-The plan is to maintain as much simplicity as possible so that "working for free" is as minimalized as possible.

Game Details
-Won't be revealing details too specific in a public forum, but here are some basics.
-PvP, Asymmetrical Co-op
-Dark Fantasy theming
-Staring with PvP and procedural generation as the primary game mode for the sake of replayability
-POC will have 1 option for each play-style and will only be 2-player (co-op) with some basic AI to play the "opponent". Full game will be PvP with teams of 2-6, many customization options in terms of aesthetics and mechanics, and possible other game modes.

If you're interested, get in touch on Discord. I would love to discuss the game itself in more detail (under a frien-d-a, of course) and discuss the concepts I have for the studio going forward. The goal here is a massive shift in the industry, providing players with things they haven't been offered before. Get in touch!

Please note: while I will be bringing on a full team after receiving investment funding, I’m only looking for Unreal developers at this point.

Hello Itch!

I'm a creative director looking for developers to aid in the creation of a proof of concept for a game that I intend to get invested. My specialty, outside of creative planning and design, is business. Once a POC has been created for this game, I've contacts waiting to introduce me to investors, they have high hopes. I'd like to find a team of Unreal game developers to create this POC to get things jump started. The concept of the full game is ambitious, but based on some key elements which will speak directly to investors, as well as the player base, I have no doubt that it will hit the ground runnning.

Details:
-The goal is to create a playable, low effort demo. From there I will create a video showcasing the game to present to investors.
-Anyone chosen for the project will be kept on once the studio/project has investment capital. Salaries will be included when looking for investment and I'll ensure that everyone is treated fairly.
-I don't like asking people to work for free, so the POC will be all that it needs to be with as little added complexity as necessary.
-The plan is to use marketplace assets for the sake of the POC, once the game is being made for real, we'll be creating and using custom art for everything. I will put in the money required for the assets used.
-Don't have a limit to how many I'm currently looking for, understanding that the more people there are, the more money we'll have to account for after funding.
-Yes, it must be Unreal. #epicgrants
-Eventually I'll want more than just devs, but that moment is not right now.

If interested, get in touch on Discord. While there are never guarantees, I will say that I'm quite confident with this project's ability to get funded. It's more than just a great game, it's built for the community in a way that investors are looking for. I'm looking to take my passion and make a difference and, if you've got passion for this industry, I'm asking you to let this project be that focus. We can discuss the project more in depth individually.

Discord: shenanigans303

I'm in the process of working on funding for a new studio. I'm more than happy to discuss the studio's goals and standards with you if you'd like that before signing on. Having a proof-of-concept for the first project will make the grant/seeding process much easier. I'm looking for a developer to work on this POC with me. That developer will also become the first employee of the studio. We can discuss salary expectations before you agree to help but be aware that until the POC is done and the project/studio gets funded, there isn't any money.

For the sake of the project, this developer will need to be comfortable with (or very ready to quickly learn):

1. Unreal 3D development (1st and 3rd person, and also top-down 3rd person)

2. Multiplayer backend concepts (P2P and server setup)

3. NPC AI (even in multiplayer mode, there will be NPCs that act on their own)

I'm handling design and balance, and I plan on working with Unreal assets from the asset store for the sake of the POC. Once funded, I intend on either hiring a 3D artist, or commissioning what I'm looking for from there. Please note, I'm not looking for that just yet.

If you're interested in this kind of development, message me on Discord. Having a portfolio, or an example of your capabilities in the above aspects is very helpful. Thank you very much!

Hello All

You may have seen me post once before about getting a small team together to make a first project. Well, we've been working on it, and since then life threw me a curveball. I won't go into details but it made me realize something: Nobody is going to make your career happen for you, you have to make it happen. Everyone here is here because they want that experience, well, I'm offering a place to do that.

I'm acting as Creative Director for this studio and I'm looking to expand. We'll run multiple projects (don't worry, I have the time to do that now). If you're looking for some portfolio experience and don't know where to start, come to me. Prove you have the passion, and we'll get something going. I've got plenty of games planned out, and just need the people to help make them, so there's no shortage of things to do.

Devs and artists are obvious, but ANYONE is welcome also. If you're a marketer and want to strut your stuff, we'll want those too and starting early is great. Any aspect of the industry that you want to get into, come to me. The only thing I have on this application is "You must be passionate about your position and this industry." I don't care how much you know or how much you have to learn, we'll figure it out together.

Money? There's a good chance that there might not be any. But if there is, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Thanks for reading. DM me on Discord and let's have a conversation.

Discord: shenanigans303

I just realized that the user was missing a character. it's 303, not 30. XD

Don't see it yet, but as soon as I do, I'll accept!

We're a small team looking to make start our careers looking to add another artist and another programmer to the mix. The goal is to make a few games to start building a portfolio. Should that all go well, some bigger projects would be more than welcome. If money comes from this, it will most certainly be rev-shared, but that's not the initial goal.

If you're interested in being on the team, hit me up on discord! We're really excited to get started and already have a few concepts ready to go!

Discord: shenanigans303

yup! Message me!

Send me a message on Discord! :)

XD Makes sense. Actually, in messing around more I realized I was being dumb. Now the issue I'm having is how to affect the in-game variables with a plugin. I know I can make my own in the plugin, but I'd like to set them as standard to be used throughout.

Hey all! I'm in the process of making my first game and I'm using RPG Paper Maker. Would anyone with experience in making plugins for it be able to help me out? Mine is bugging out like crazy and I'm having a hard time tracking down why.

I'm also looking for a sprite artist, if anyone still wants to hop onto a project... Since OP already found someone.

Discord: shenanigans303

I don’t see why not. It’s all about growth here!

We're all here to create art and build games to entertain the masses. In my search to break into the industry, with the goal of creative direction, I'm looking to put together a team to build passion projects. Definitely looking for programmers, artists of all kinds, and animators (2d and 3d).

I have no expectations on the size of the team, but I plan to get the team together to build games that focus on customization and individuality from gameplay to the character itself. I also expect that we would take on some Jams as time goes on. I want this team to have a good portfolio to show the world its competence. If money happens, money happens. If enough success happens, we'll discuss that growth.

If you're interested in any way, get in touch with me. Let's really create! Don't worry about having portfolios or experience. I'm looking for people who are passionate and want to create.
