Looking for 3D artists for a psychological thriller school game in Genshin style

Hey everyone!

I’m working on a game as a solo developer and looking for a few 3D artists who’d like to join and help out. No budget, but I’m not trying to make a quick cash grab either — it’s a passion project, and it’s going to be free.

What’s the game about?
It’s a psychological thriller set in an American high school. You play as a girl from a poor family who wants to get into a top university. To do that, she needs to eliminate 9 rivals who are all competing for the same spot. She doesn’t kill — she manipulates, sets up, spreads rumors, and destroys reputations. It’s about choices, psychology, and consequences.

Style: Genshin Impact inspired — anime style with cel-shading, stylized visuals, colorful but with a darker atmosphere.

Engine: Godot.

What I already have:

  • Full story and game design

  • 9 rivals with backstories

  • 4 different endings

  • Some concept work (school references, character ideas)

What I need help with:

  • 3D character models (main character, 9 rivals, and a few NPCs — about 40–50 total, mostly humans)

  • School environment (hallways, classrooms, locker room, exterior)

  • Props and assets to fill the world

What I can offer:

  • Credit in the game

  • A chance to build your portfolio with a real project

  • Creative input — you can influence the visual style and design

  • A friendly team atmosphere (no crunch, no stress)

Timeline: around 1–2 years. No rush, I’m working at a comfortable pace.

Budget: zero. I’m doing this entirely for free and planning to release the game for free as well.

About you: I’m looking for someone who understands stylized 3D (Genshin style), can work in a team, has some experience, and is just genuinely interested in making something cool together. Speed isn’t important — quality and communication are.

If you’re interested, send me a message with some examples of your work, and let’s talk.

Quick update: concept art for some of the characters is already done. I can share more references if needed. If anyone is interested in joining the project — hit me up in DMs. Still looking for 3D artists and modellers. Cheers!
