Thank you, but as you can read, I am looking for an artist, not for help with coding. Have a nice day! ☺️

Hi everyone,

A little while ago I posted here looking to build a small indie team around my project. Since then, the prototype has grown a lot, and I think it’s finally at a stage where it could realistically aim for a first release sometime in 2026.

The game is a procedural 2D stealth-arcade experience, focused on fast-paced gameplay, replayability and emergent situations. The core systems are already in place: procedural map generation, AI state machines, pathfinding, and the overall gameplay loop.

There’s already a small team behind the project, and now I feel it’s time to find someone who can really give the game its own visual identity and personality.

I’m looking for a 2D Artist, ideally someone who also enjoys (or already does) 2D animation, since having both skills in the same person would make collaboration much smoother.

I’m not necessarily looking for someone with years of professional experience. What matters most is:

• reliability;
• willingness to dedicate some time to the project;
• enjoying teamwork and sharing ideas.

This is a rev-share project. The goal is not simply to finish one prototype, but to build a group of people who work well together and can keep making indie games in the future.

I’m based in Italy, but I’m happy to work with people from anywhere.

Thanks for reading!

Hi Alfie, we are already having a conversation on Discord, but let me reply here too, or someone could think I am rude! :D

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a 2D procedural stealth-arcade prototype and I’m looking for people to build a small indie team.

I’m based in Italy (but happy to work with people from anywhere).

About me

I’m 49 (yes ), still learning programming, but I’ve built a structured prototype with:

• procedural map generation
• pathfinding
• state machine AI

It’s not perfect (there are some minor bugs), but it’s a solid base to build on.

I’m not doing this as a hobby — the goal is to actually make and release games.

What I’m looking for

• Level / Game Designers
• 2D Artists
• SFX Artists

Important:

• you should be willing to dedicate time (not just occasional contributions)
• you should be comfortable working in a team
• communication matters

How I see this working

I will coordinate the project, but I want this to be collaborative — ideas, decisions, direction.

The plan is simple:
we work together on this prototype, get to know each other, and if it works well… we keep going and build more games.

Small but important note

I’m not looking for paid freelancers (also… I couldn’t afford it anyway ).
This is a collaboration to build something real together.

Bye!
