“I'm doing a challenge where i make a free game in 2 weeks. It's a very simple clicker game where you kick santa to land on an object. If he stays on the object, you get to the next level... propably will be named 'a silly game about kicking santa' I plan to release it on Steam…”
“I am an artist and cannot code. Any coders who can't do art lol? I am looking to pair up with a like minded dev who wants to attempt a game jam with me. I have already made a few posts showcasing some of my art, but here is my ArtStation in case you don't want to go looking…”
“Phew. No, seriously. Whenever I think it can't get better. Our artists are from fine arts background so I suppose that's how the art of APPA goes beyond the conventional video game art. Besides, this is genuinely what I adore about indie games. It's generally a passion project…”
Multiple posts explicitly seek artists, specifically 2D environment artists and concept artists. This indicates a recurring need within the indie game development community to outsource or find collaborators for artistic tasks.

“The goal is mini bannerlord top down pixel game same camera angle and old Pokemon games. I’m an artist the maps will be very pretty and have a more focus on exploring than bannerlord to keep the simpler mechanics interesting. I’m considering spending a lot of time researching how to do this using Godot. Before I dive into this does anyone have recommendations? Also I would love ideas how a simplified bannerlord pixel based could have cool features that make a simplified version of the game fun &”

“I like designing and making critters for monster tamers through pencil-based sketches, so I’m down to assist in any projects (especially ones with spriters or coders, but anything that needs concept art should be fine). I’m also an avid writer, in case your game needs a revamped story. I don’t need payment (though please credit me if you do use my work), but I do suffer from an inconsistent schedule due to college. If you give any questions, leave in the comments! submitted by /u/Pro”

“Hi guys, I'm Aswin, I'm looking for work in an indie game as a composer or sound designer. I love to work on games. I mostly make horror, electronic music, ambient, and other stuff. I can make orchestral but I tend to move into experimental and electronic+ orchestral elements. I have been doing music for the past 5 years. I'm a sound engineer student, now I'm looking for work. I like to make lots of experimental type music with sound designs..... I worked on two short film as a c”
“I haven't any experience with making games. The concept for this game is a spirit of the desert that was forced by an unknown curse to wander the plane of the desert. The spirit has no hands and can only use voodoo magic with items that hang from its horns. You would go from oasis to oasis in the desert, each having their own style and people groups. Also it's sort of an incognito god situation with you being the spirit of the desert. You would be able to see how these different oases wo”

“Hello! I'm looking for a free collaboration project again after quite some time. This project will be a non-commercial collaboration intended for portfolio purposes, similar to the projects I posted about previously. The project doesn't need to be perfect. I'm also open to projects that are simply meant to be a fun experience. (Since this is a non-commercial project, I may not be able to take on a large amount of work, and the overall quality may be lower than what you see in my port”

“Hello, I'm Αελιεζερ (pronounced Aeliezer). I'm a digital artist, and I'm looking to specialize as a character concept artist, sprite artist, and CG illustrator for anime-style fantasy visual novel games or JRPG-inspired games that use a visual novel storytelling style.

“Hello! I'm a digital artist who works across both 2D and 3D basically if it can be drawn or modeled, I'm down to make it. I've teamed up with indie devs, studios, brands, and content creators on all kinds of stuff: character designs, environments, props, game-ready assets, animations, UI/UX, even full websites. Worldbuilding and concept art are honestly my favorite part there's something so fun about taking someone's idea and turning it into something that actually feels aliv”
“Hi everyone! Just a quick question here. It’s not an emergency or anything like that, but I’m looking for a pixel artist who might want to join in or lend a hand with a few projects. If you enjoy pixel art, have some free time, and are interested in collaborating, please leave a comment or send me a private message so I can check out your style.

“Hey everyone! We wanted to share the concept art for Nebamun , a character we designed for our game's universe! While he won't be a playable champion in Champion of Lore , we had a lot of fun bringing him to life. We took heavy inspiration from ancient Egyptian history, especially when designing his clothing, color palette, and mystic scrolls. We wanted him to have that authentic, ancient scholar feel while fitting into our fantasy world. We’d love to hear your thoughts on his visual des”
“Hey everyone, no clue if this kind of post is allowed here or not, but I figured I'd give it a shot and hopefully not be banned or something ;-; I'm working on a desktop companion and I'm looking for an artist interested in a longer term commitment that I can return to for additional work/updates over the course of a year or likely longer. I have detailed needs, and as this is a work in progress, there would be a lot of back and forth conversation. This is a bit of of a collab, as I&”
“Hi. I know this question is probably asked a lot since it's a field that a lot of people want to go into, but how feasible is it for someone with no industry experience to find any work? Like all competitive fields, I know its not easy in the least, but I’m interested to hear what people who actually have a foot in the door. I’m mostly self taught, and the most experience I have in any kind of art business is doing commissions online, but I’ve wanted to work on art for games for a long time.”

“Hello everyone, my name is Jacob and I'm 16 years old. I have about 3 years of experience with Godot , and I want to go out there, and work on my first big project.

“u/ConflictBetter1332 - Moreno Paissan Maps We had what was essentially a screenshot of the game map to act as the in-game player map but I really wanted something that had some more character to it. I saw u/ConflictBetter1332 's maps on the Forgotten Realms subreddit (I DM a lot of dnd) and figured their style would work well with my game. My goal is to have it be something you get from an NPC monk in game. I think it turned out really well! submitted by /u/reignofvictory [link]”
“Hey there, as the title suggests, I am a music producer / composer, looking to create a custom OST for an indie game. Important: I am not offering this as a payed service, I would like to contribute for free. What is most important to me, is that the game has overlap and alignment with my interests, and the styles & themes in my existing catalog. See below for more info. Info about themes and concepts that I am looking for: I am particularly interested in games centred around space, alien li”

“Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great timezone! One of my biggest dreams since I was little was to join a game studio, due to that I studied Game Art in a University. I am more of a 2D character/sprite artist but I am also able to create 3D models if needed. Sadly we didn’t really go through how to apply to game studios in the University except for “most jobs come from word of mouth”. So I came here to ask where a starting point could be? I would love to join game jams and/or create”

“Puzzle Simulator is a jigsaw puzzle game on its way to release on Steam, but we are facing one critical obstacle... art . We are a team of two Canadian developers, this is our first game and we are wanting to promote and uplift other small creators with this project, rather than relying on generative slop . Our vision for this game is human investment, passion, and creativity. The core gameplay loop is in the Story Mode, this is where artists who submit their art will shine. Story Mode is a shel”
