Souls-Like Game – Looking for a Full Team (New IP, Serious Collaboration)

Collaboration & Jobs

Hi, I’m looking to build a dedicated team to collaborate on a Souls-like game with a completely original world, story, characters, and visuals.

This is not a clone or asset flip. The goal is to create a large-scale game inspired by Souls mechanics (combat, atmosphere, difficulty, environmental storytelling), but built entirely from scratch with its own identity.

Project Vision

  • Dark, atmospheric, lore-driven world
  • Skill-based combat inspired by Souls-like games
  • Fully original setting, enemies, bosses, and narrative
  • No copying of maps, characters, or story elements
  • Long-term project aiming for a full game, not a small demo

My Role

I will be handling:

  • Music and sound direction
  • Some art
  • Some animation
  • Most of the story and lore

I am looking for collaborators who are serious about building something and are willing to commit long-term.

Roles Needed

I am looking for motivated and passionate people, including:

  • Programmers (Unity or Unreal)
  • Gameplay / combat designers
  • 3D artists and environment artists
  • Character artists
  • Animators
  • Level designers
  • Technical artists
  • Anyone with Souls-like experience (development, modding, or deep system knowledge)

Experience is welcome, but commitment and consistency matter most.

Important Notes

  • This is a collaboration project, not a Dark Souls copy
  • Original IP with original ideas
  • Long-term mindset preferred
  • The game will be shaped collaboratively as a team

Contact Method

Wrong forum section, you should post this in the Collaboration and Jobs section of the forum. Very few people interested in collaboration will see your post here. After creating a topic in the correct section, add appropriate tags (for example, Non-commercial Collaboration) so people with the right skill set can find your post.

I moved it and added the relevant tags. I put it under “non commercial offering” because you don’t mention any payment.

Just reply if it is indeed commercial and I’ll change tags.

In that case I’d also suggest adding some background about you and what makes you qualified to run this project to increase your chances. Right now it has all the “I have an idea, I just need a team to build it (for free)” red flags: the scope is immensely ambitious while there’s no mention of a project manager / producer role that would be required to hold this team together and the project on schedule and within budget.

oh thanks i already moved it but having it posted by 2 people is good and also yes non commercial because pay will only happen if the game does make money and i rely hope it does because its kind of my dream game
