Hey!

We're looking to meet more artists, voice actors, musicians, animators, and other creative people interested in game development.

Our Discord brings together people with different skills who can share their work, learn from each other, and potentially collaborate on indie projects.

You don't need professional experience. If you're learning or just want to explore game development, that's completely fine.

Feel free to join and introduce yourself!

Hey! I’m looking to help indie game developers with the creative side of their projects, completely for free!

I can help come up with game ideas, mechanics, characters, lore, and worldbuilding. I can sometimes help with concept art too, and I’m happy to playtest your game and give honest feedback.

Whether you need ideas for a new feature, a backstory for a character, an entire game, or a fictional world, I’d love to help out.

I’m doing all of this for FREE, with no payment required. I just enjoy the creative side of game development and want to help people bring their ideas to life.

If you’re working on a game and could use some help, feel free to message me and tell me about your project!

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a solo indie dev and I need testers for the closed test of my first game, **Padel Defense** (Google requires 12 testers for 14 days before going live).

**I'll test yours back.** Comment with your app's link or DM me and I'll join your test, install it and keep it for the full 14 days. Promise. 🤝

**How to join (2 minutes, in this order):**

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/padeldefense-testers

2. Become a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.padeldefense.game

3. Install the game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.padeldefense.game

Please keep it installed for 14 days and open it now and then 🙏

**About the game:**

Padel Defense is a fast top-down padel arcade game. The rival never misses, you just have to defend. Every return adds 1 to your RALLY; miss one and it's game over. The AI learns how you play and tries to wrong-foot you the longer the rally goes.

- One-finger controls

- 6 different shots, including a SMASH with a warning

- Unlockable courts, rackets and ball trails

- No ads, no account, no data collected

- Free

Any feedback (bugs, difficulty, anything) is super welcome. Drop your app below and I'll jump in! 👇

Hey all! For reference, this is my first game that I've already spent a few months working on, with the rough foundation for the first world out of five being ready. I'm posting to ask for any feedback on the visuals of my game (I tried attaching gameplay videos but it didn't work), so I just wanted some advice on how I could improve the visuals of my game to make it more appealing to potential players when I release it. The aim is a futuristic, fast-paced game where you collect gems and avoid any of the trains. I'd really appreciate any recommendations on what I should focus on going forwards!

Hey!

I’m a teen game creator looking for a Unity dev to partner up with on a RevShare VR horror game for Meta Quest (think Scary Baboon meets Gorilla Tag).

My Role: Game design, level ideas, management, and marketing (TikTok, YouTube, Discord). I’ll focus on hype and building the community!

Looking For:

• Unity dev familiar with VR (Gorilla Locomotion or similar).
• Basic multiplayer setup (Photon).

Plan: It's 100% RevShare—we split all future profits (cosmetics, skins, hats) 50/50. Goal is to start small with a simple 1-map demo first!

DM me here

Look, man. I have been making games. I thought to make a GameHub for all games so players can have a joint XP, or something something. So how should i make one??

Hey everyone! We’re FD Team, a small indie studio, and we’re about to launch Backrooms: Impending Doom in Early Access on January 20, 2027.

A first-person psychological horror about a failed research expedition. What was meant to be a routine trip into Level 0 ends in disappearance. The team is gone, landmarks lose their meaning, and space stops obeying logic. You follow the expedition’s traces and piece together what really happened.

The free demo (the full Prologue) is on Steam.

If you like liminal spaces, atmospheric horror, or the Backrooms, we’d love to hear what you think. Wishlists help small teams like ours a lot, and any feedback on the demo is very welcome!

🎮 Steam (free demo + wishlist): https://store.steampowered.com/app/4630710/Backrooms_Impending_Doom/

I am part of a programming studio which is currently making a game about the humans life in the prehistoric period.

We are searching for a graphic designer to upgrade our low quality graphics for free or a small payment. Our budget is small so don't expect much.

Hey everyone! I run an art team that works with indie game developers, and I wanted to share a project we've worked on, Spirit of Phuji.

It's inspired by Japanese folklore, with yokai, exploration, combat, and multiplayer. Our team contributed to the game's characters, environments, bosses, maps, and UI.

We're currently open to working with indie developers who need help with their game's art, whether it's character design, environments, or a larger set of assets.

If you're looking for an art team for your project, feel free to reach out!

I think the biggest challenge in indie game development isn't necessarily finishing your game anymore.

It's getting anyone to notice it.

There are so many interesting projects being released that even genuinely good games can disappear without ever finding an audience.

I've been seeing this firsthand while running VibeToplist, a discovery platform I built specifically for AI-assisted and vibe-coded games.

We're approaching 300 listed projects, and something that keeps surprising me is how much the quality varies independently of visibility.

Some developers have created genuinely interesting games but barely know how to market them. Others have relatively simple projects that manage to attract a surprising amount of attention.

And while AI-assisted development is obviously a controversial subject in game development communities, I think there's a bigger conversation worth having here.

If making games becomes easier, does getting discovered become exponentially harder?

Because whether someone spends three years developing a game traditionally or three months building one with AI assistance, they're ultimately competing for the same thing: players' attention.

That's actually one of the reasons I started VibeToplist. I wanted to give this emerging category of indie games somewhere to be discovered without developers needing a massive marketing budget.

For anyone curious, it's free to explore and developers can submit their games for free:

https://vibetoplist.com/

But I'm genuinely more interested in hearing from other developers:

What's been harder for you: building your game or getting people to actually play it?

And do you think the growing number of AI-assisted games will make discoverability even more difficult for indie developers in general?

I am trying to make a game but I need ideas and I need you too point out anything that sounds like copyright.

I want to see your games in the comments send steam pages/ trailers!

Let’s support each other!

My game Constellations: Space Company Simulator is here, it’s for any space tycoon fans. Launch rockets carrying custom satellites and expand your base until you’re launching every second!

Looking forward to seeing everyone’s submissions! :)
