Hi,
I want to be very direct and transparent from the start.
I am looking for an individual Unreal Engine 5 developer (not a studio) who might be interested in building a full Beta 1–level multiplayer prototype as a side project.
This is not a commercial job and my total budget is limited to a maximum of 1000 SEK. I fully understand this is very low, and it is completely okay to say no. I am posting this openly so people can decide for themselves.
What “Full Beta 1” means in this context
A playable, complete prototype with the following features:
-
Multiplayer sessions / lobby
-
1 vs 1 mode
-
2 vs 1 asymmetric mode (two players vs one “neighbor”-style role)
-
2 players vs AI-controlled neighbor
-
Basic win/lose flow
-
One small test map
-
Simple replicated interactions (capture / item or similar)
This project is inspired by asymmetric horror multiplayer games, but it is an original prototype using placeholder or original assets only. No copyrighted assets or commercial IP will be used.
Expectations & honesty
-
Very small scope compared to a commercial game
-
No feature creep
-
Learning / experimentation mindset
-
This is a side project, not a contract
What I can offer
-
Fixed payment: up to 1000 SEK total
-
Clear goals and requirements
-
Testing, feedback, and communication handled by me
I know this will not be suitable for most developers, and that is completely fine. I am simply looking for someone who finds the idea interesting enough to work on as a small side project.
If this sounds interesting, feel free to reply or send me a private message.
Thanks for reading.
