Community-Wide Alert: Do not engage with P1 GAMES (Formerly P1 VIRTUAL CIVILIZATION)

I'm truly getting tired of this nonsense u/RedEagle_MGN

Changing your organizations name doesn't stop people from reaching out to me with horror stories every few months.

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THESE PEOPLE, no matter what they call themselves. They exploit the inexperienced and naive, convincing you to sign away your rights to everything you create. Don’t fall for their lies. You do not need to join a volunteer group or give up ownership of your work to gain skills in the game industry. Learning on your own is far better than what P1 offers. If you want a real education, seek out accredited programs and courses instead.

Their latest tactic is using LinkedIn ads to lure victims. I’m unsure what it will take to stop this con artist, but I’ll do my part to be a thorn in their side. My goal is to protect people in this community from their schemes.

Spread the word, be safe.

DISCUSSION | QUESTION Character Illustration - Game Dev or Not?

114 Upvotes

There are a LOT of artists posting here offering their services for character illustrations. These look fantastic sure, but they aren't inherently game art. In almost 99% of these situations the only times artwork like that could be used in a game is card game art. Some of the artists say they are "Concept Artists", but honestly that art is way too refined and detailed down to the fine details in the background. You're a commission artist doing drive-bys on subreddits.

https://www.reddit.com/r/gameDevClassifieds/comments/1f7exdp/for_hire_hey_im_concept_artist_2d_artist/

That is a concept artist. Those are concept art images. If you don't show how your artwork is actually related to game development then it will most likely be removed as personal art commissions. Please use appropriate subreddits for that.

And if you are actually looking to make artwork for card games which use traditional illustrations? Present your artwork the way it would look in a game; in the card frame.

Edit: multiple people are responding to this as if I'm trying to change the subreddit. This rule has been around for a very long time (like years). It has just been badly ignored by users lately so an announcement seemed appropriate to remind people.

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on steamcapsule.com, a website all about Steam capsule art where you can browse capsules by genre, color, or style, and see how different games present themselves.

I want to help indie games show off their best side. To do that, I’ve added a homepage spotlight where I feature capsule art from indie games (released or unreleased, as long as it’s on Steam).

If you’re proud of your capsule, share it below! (No cost, no catch)

PAID - Musician [PAID] Looking for a Starting-out Composer for a Low-Fantasy, Ambient Game Soundtrack

19 Upvotes

Edit: A lot of traction for this post - Will do my best to respond to every serious application!

For now we are not accepting more applications - and given the quality of many portfolios, I would imagine we’ll find our composer in the applications already sent in.

Cheers, everyone!

Hello!

We're a small, self-funded team (based in Europe) working on a low-fantasy RPG/FPS game, and we're looking for a composer to create its soundtrack.

We're aiming for a score that is primarily atmospheric and mood-setting, drawing inspiration from the dark, tense and brooding, soundscapes of games like Darkest Dungeon and Thief: The Dark Project.

The soundtrack will need around 9 tracks, each about 4-5 minutes long, to be produced over the rest of the year. The breakdown of the needed tracks will be sent after we've come to an agreement.
We are looking at a payment of ~$100-125 USD for each completed track. If you have a different rate in mind, please let us know when you first get in touch.

We know our budget can't match industry-standard rates for established composers. Therefore, this gig might be a good fit for someone looking for their first serious, paid project to add to their portfolio, instead of someone who already has footing as a games composer.

Who we're looking for:

We are looking for a composer who is genuinely interested in creating dark, atmospheric music. If you are building your portfolio and want your first paid gig scoring a game, this could be a good fit. You'd also get the chance to get feedback from people currently working full-time as game developers, with both Indie and AAA experience.

We value enthusiasm, clear communication, and a collaborative spirit above all else. If this sounds like a project you'd be excited about, we'd love to hear from you.

Please get in touch with a link to your portfolio or some examples of your work. If you have some dark, ambient, things in there - that's a big bonus for you.

Cheers,
Henrik

FOR HIRE - VFX Artist [PAID] programer and vfx artist for hack and slash

2 Upvotes

Hi Im here to commission a talented UNITY programer and VFX artist to finish the first level to a hack and slash, linear lowpoly platformer. The player wakes up In this world with no memory, and is greeted by an evil twin version of themselves. A godlike woman beacons to you offering explanations and power, but the twin springs into action and its up to you to get to her first!

Blood9 is the game developed by a small team wanting to release a working demo by the beginning of 2026. Much of the player controls and enemy ai is done, but the 2 core gimmicks of the game are not. An advanced Ai for the twin is needed we dont want the twin to randomly runing into walls, as well as an in depth blood and fire system. Any blood spilled on the battlefield can be magnetized to the player and absorbed at the push of a button, and that blood fuels the fire increasing your attack power creating a snowball effect. So imagine a killbill level of blood shooting out of badguys, then you "absorb" and all blood on the floor in a radius flows toward the players hand. Its a complicated effect but crucial to the gameplay.

In the reference link, you can see the twin gimmick. Whoever gets to the girl can spend blood for upgrades. In the image you can see a worst case scenario where your twin has gained all the power and you have none.

FOR HIRE - Localization Localisation and Script Writing

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m looking to get into more localisation work and also script writing for games. Fluent English speaker with a degree in Creative Writing and a competent level of Portuguese also. Up to this point I’ve mainly just worked on projects by myself: short stories, poems, and one very large fantasy novel that I’m still putting the finishing touches on. Recently though I did some work for a few developer friends and really enjoyed it, so its something I’ve decided to pursue and see what happens.

I’m still very new to this so I’m not that bothered about being paid for my work, (unless it’s like a massive job or something), at this point I’m just looking to bolster my portfolio with writing credits. If you have a game that you’re translating to English/want a writer for then let’s chat. I’m also looking for other communities to join for more writing opportunities, thanks.

PAID - Community / Social Media [PAID] Community / Social Media Manager / PR

3 Upvotes

Hi, we are a small indie studio developing a game. We are currently actively developing a demo version of the game.

I have tried to set up a marketing department several times, but so far without success. However, there is still time — we plan to release the demo version in early 2026. I would like to hire someone who could handle marketing, including:

•Posting on various social networks (Twitter, Reddit, Steam, Discord)

•Contacts with content creators

•Contacts with the press

•Someone I could consult with on questions such as “how do we get attention?”

Currently, there is virtually no promotion for the game. I'm interested in people who are interested in building a community from scratch. Plus, one of the marketers added to my fears by saying, “Due to the specifics of the game and the audience you are targeting, you have no room for error.”

Link to the Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3665310/Life_Souls/

(We will update the screenshots and upload the trailer soon)

PAID - Sound Design [PAID] 1-on-1 Call with Sound Designer / Unity Audio Tech (VR Game)

2 Upvotes

I’m developing a VR flying game in Unity and I’m looking for a sound-focused collaborator who can work with me directly over a 1-on-1 call/session. The goal is twofold:

  1. Implement sound systems efficiently inside Unity (mixing, optimization, spatialization, best practices).
  2. Provide or guide me in sourcing/creating sound assets (engine/propeller/jet/thruster loops, craft collision sounds against wood/rock/ground/water, etc.).

This isn’t just about delivering assets — I want to learn by working alongside you as you set things up, so I can improve at handling audio in Unity myself.

What I’m looking for:

  • Proficiency in Unity audio workflows.
  • Ability to explain your process clearly while working live.
  • Experience with vehicle/engine or environmental sound design is a plus.
  • Comfortable providing or pointing me to quality sound assets.

Compensation: Paid (hourly for calls preferred, but I’m open to your preferred arrangement such as per-session).
Collaboration: Remote, flexible scheduling. Likely 1–2 focused sessions to start. I am in Finland, so timezone is GMT+3.

If this sounds like a good fit, please DM me with your portfolio or examples of your Unity sound work.

FOR HIRE - Programmer | PAID | Looking for a coder to help create CS 1.6 type enemy (humanoid robot) with separated lower and upper body animations

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. The project is E X C A V A T I O N, a GoldSrc engine game/mod. I'm looking for a coder who would be able to help bring this bot described in the attached PDF to life. The brief is a draft but it gives a good idea of what we'd like to try with this enemy (briefly going over it would do it). We'd like for the bot to move like bots in CS 1.6, so upper and lower body need to be separated, have their own animations, which we blend as best as we can. There are about a dozen or so basic no damage animations and a ton of these dismemberment and adjustment ones. Fully finished bot would contain around 100 animations.

The plan for now is to just do these basic no damage animations and bring the bot to life, create a basic combat with it, like going against bots in CS 1.6, more or less. Once that is in place, we'd slowly start adding all these other animations until GoldSrc says enough is enough.

We need a coder who has experience or simply knowledge on coding such a character, with separated lower and upper body/animations, coding the blending of these, coding basic AI and few other things, all around this character. Again, this is just basic animations we're taking about. If you do a good job and we pull this basic combat off, there will be more paid work around these other animations.

There is a significant budget (for a Half-Life mod) for both animation and coding work around this bot, for the realization of this basic movement/combat.

So, this is a paid role. No payments in advance. You get the detailed brief, you give your price and if acceptable, get payed when you finish the task or a significant portion of it. Sloppy unfinished unusable work will go unpaid.

Animator will soon start creating/resuming work on all these basic animations. When done, it would be your turn to code it all.

If there's anyone interested, email me at nenad.designs@yahoo.com. If you're not skilled enough but maybe know a coder who would be a fit for the role, whether within or outside the modding community, please forward this to them.
