Find a decent animator/rigger that can bring the stuff 3D artists make to life. For my last project for example i already spent 8000$ on characters and they are all still static… spend about 2.5k$ on animators who couldn’t deliver yet…
Also, find partners seems to be hard as an indie. I created and released 2 games already on Steam. So far combined over 100.000 copies - but i was never able to find someone to assist me based on royality. So i end up making the games on my own and spending about 50k-100k per title on freelancers, half of that money is wasted due to people not being able to deliver properly.
I wish i could find someone who likes to make a game with me and can either model, animate or code. A team would be so great.
