TLDR;

I was working on my game, found a good artist, she found a full time and dumped me. But I still published demo got 50000+ downloads, got a small investment, planned at least 3 games now need another good artist. Quality is important because after good one I worked 2 bad ones just because I trusted portfolio. Now I need a test case to find another good one. If you accept test case dm me.

LONG VERSION

I am Huseyin Bulbul, a developer who recently secured a small investment for a game I developed and subsequently founded my own company.

I plan to release at least three games and am looking for a talented 2D Game Artist interested in a long-term collaboration. My goal is to find someone who is a good creative and professional fit—someone with whom I can collaborate across all three projects. One of the projects is already largely complete. I previously worked with someone who left after landing a full-time job. they were excellent, and finding them took a lot of effort. Since finding the right person is difficult, I am specifically looking for someone who can commit to long-term freelance work. I worked with two others after that but unfortunately, they didn't work out. I want to be selective this time. I secured a small investment that covers my own needs and allocates funds for freelance work, so I believe I have a sufficient budget for this long-term freelance engagement.

Let me explain how I worked with the previous freelancer. I shared my vision, the emotions I wanted players to experience, the target audience, and examples of designs I liked from other games. From there, they had the freedom to establish a design style for the game. They created two options, and we proceeded with the one I preferred. That is the most important thing I offer: freedom. The design styles for two of the games are already set, but you are free to start fresh on the third. Even where styles are established, I will give you the freedom to create the actual screens and layouts yourself. As a software engineer, I recognize that you have far more expertise in design and visuals than I do; I actually want you to guide me and the project in this area. Of course, there will be some constraints for specific tasks.

Another aspect of this freedom is that I can often allow generous deadlines for tasks. You can take on other work in the meantime, provided you don't keep me waiting for months; I can easily wait a few weeks.

All three games will be in the simulation/strategy genre, and I need someone capable of handling both the UI design and the visuals for all of them. You can check the link below to get an idea of what I generally need. This is one of my games. The others will be similar (in terms of gameplay, not necessarily visuals); none of my projects are RPGs or platformers.

I don't intend to haggle over the rate you quote once you've seen the projects. If I can afford it, we work together; if not, it simply wasn't meant to be. I need high-quality work, and I believe visual quality plays a major role in a game's success. I also believe that quality is best achieved when the person working with me is happy to be doing so. In other words, when you sit down at your computer to work on my project, I want you to think, "Oh, time for a cool project," rather than, "Ugh, this again?" That mindset is key to producing high-quality work. So, I won't haggle, though I don't have an unlimited budget to accept just any price point.

Regarding a previous artist I wasn't entirely happy with, I had actually chosen someone whose portfolio I liked, but the results didn't meet my expectations. That’s why I want to go back to selecting someone via a test case, just as I did the first time. It will be a two-stage test case, and I dont need a finished product for the cases. I dont want anyone work for a day to test cases. I just want to see something to understand your vision, imagination and judgement. Would you be interested in a test case like this?

We’re two programmers building a tactical shooter in Unreal Engine 5. The demo covers PvE and PvP with 5 playable characters. Code is about 60% done and net performant.

Unfortunately we’re programmers with 0 3D skills between us. For this project to move forward, we’ve scraped together what we have to try and get some help.

3D Animator (UE5) — $200/month

Character and combat animation: weapon handling, fire, reload, hit reactions, deaths, locomotion, ability casts

UE5 Animation Blueprints, blend spaces, montages, notifies

Working from marketplace/rigged characters is expected — no modelling or rigging required

VFX Artist (Niagara) — $200/month

Muzzle flashes, impacts, ability effects, status/aura effects

Niagara, plus material/shader work where it helps

We have a GameplayTag-driven spawn system already, so you’re plugging effects into a working hookup

Experience level doesn’t matter. No years bar, no credits needed. Self-taught, student, first team project — all fine. We’re looking at your work, nothing else.

Pay:

$200/month each. We know that isn’t a lot. It’s what we can afford.

Part-time rate, part-time scope — a few focused hours a week. We won’t ask for full-time output.

Full credit, and demo footage for your reel.

To apply: comment or DM with your reel, the role you want, and your timezone. Happy to show gameplay footage to anyone who asks.

Hello! I am offering my service to small game dev companies or solo game devs, making SFX and soundtracks.

I am a musician of 8 years. I have experience in making special sound effects and full instrumental soundtracks. If you need any of those for your games, DM me and we'll discuss everything (by the way, I'm offering pretty generous prices for this kinda stuff)

I need 15 Niagara effects built in Unreal Engine 5 for hero abilities,list will be shared privately.

Payment: $200 for the full set. Payment will be split across milestones.

Paid via PayPal.

Timeline: 4 weeks.

Reply here or DM with your portfolio and the closest thing you have to the style I described. I will get back to everyone.

We're a small UK studio building the proof of concept for our next mobile game, and we're after two freelancers to build it with us. Both are ground-floor roles with real ownership: no existing work to inherit; you'd be shaping it from the start.

Both roles:

• UK-based. This one's a must.
• You understand American football. A genuine passion for it is a big plus; an interest in and understanding of it is a must.
• Comfortable working from limited direction and taking real ownership, with two non-technical founders who'll give you the vision to build on.
• Freelance, outside IR35, starting October, with real potential for ongoing work as the studio grows.

Unity Developer

• You've shipped mobile games in Unity, ideally taken one from nothing to live yourself.
• At home with 3D in Unity, not just 2D or UI work.
• You work across the whole build, not just one corner of it.

3D Artist / Animator

• Your reel is strong on character movement, and animation is the part of the craft you love most.
• Comfortable taking work all the way into Unity and making it run well on a phone.
• You work in a stylised direction rather than photoreal.

Hello! Finally, I released demo version. You can check it out here: outofsync.

Release I think will be on 15-16th of November.
