About r/gameDevClassifieds

r/gameDevClassifieds is where indie game teams look for help. Flairs name both the pay and the role, like PAID - 2D Art or PAID - Programmer, and many titles carry a [PAID] tag. Unpaid and revenue-share collaborations get posted too; we don't list those.

Art dominates: most hiring posts are for 2D art and animation, then 3D modelling, programming and sound design. Most are freelance projects, but few state a budget, so expect to quote.

Before you apply here

  • Put a portfolio link in your first message. Many posts ask for one.
  • Quote per asset or per hour, and agree on revisions before you start.
  • Ask when you'll be paid (per asset, per milestone or on delivery) and who owns the work.

And everywhere on Reddit: read the whole post and its comments, and never pay to get a job. Our guide to Reddit job scams has the warning signs we see most.
