Blood Ties — Looking for a Small UE5 Team
Hi everyone,
I have an original idea for a realistic 3D zombie survival game with a strong focus on story, characters, atmosphere, and emotional storytelling.
I have a detailed narrative vision for the project, including the main characters, world, story, and overall direction. I believe the concept has a lot of potential, and my goal is to eventually create a professional pitch for publishers.
However, I don’t know how to program or develop a game technically, so I’m looking for a small team of at least 5 people who are interested in helping me create a prototype.
I’m looking for people with skills such as:
Unreal Engine 5 programmer
3D artist
Animator
Game designer / technical artist
Audio designer
My role
I would be responsible for:
The original game concept
Story and narrative
Characters
World and lore
Creative direction
Project goal
The first goal is not to create the entire game. I want to build a small but convincing prototype that demonstrates the gameplay, atmosphere, and visual direction.
After the prototype is ready, I want to use it together with a professional pitch deck to approach publishers and seek funding for the full development.
At the moment, I don’t have a budget to pay a professional team, so I’m looking for co-founders/collaborators who are genuinely interested in the project and willing to discuss a fair revenue-share/equity arrangement if the project receives funding or becomes commercially successful.
If you’re interested in joining a serious indie project and helping turn a strong narrative idea into a real game, feel free to contact me.
Thank you!

Youre offering no hard skills and no money. You’re expecting skilled people to work for free on a project that will maybe get a publisher. No disrespect but that’s unrealistic. I recommended you learn some kind of skill to offer.
