Hi everyone! I am a beginner sound designer and composer for video games, videos, and animations.

Currently, I am working on my portfolio. I don’t want to redesign existing finished games, which is why I’m looking for interesting and unique indie projects. I believe that if I’m doing some work for free, it would be great if someone could use it for their benefit. If you are a game developer and your project needs sound effects or music, I would be glad to help!

It’s absolutely free. You can use all the sounds in your final project, or at least as temporary placeholders. All I ask is permission to use your game in a short clip (15-30 seconds) with my sound design as part of my portfolio. If you are interested, please contact me! I would need a brief description of your game, a video clip (it could be UI, gameplay, or a cutscene), and specifications of how you envision the sound design.

Hi. Could you share your portfolio when it's ready?

Did you consider helping open source projects?

Many projects there that can use your help.

@Alberth sure, why not! Do you mean something specific?

Not really.

I do poke around in an open source remake of the old ThemeHospital commercial game which could use free and open sounds/music, but that may be too much “finished” to your taste.

I just thought to mention the option. In my experience, there are always enough programmers, but much less designers in graphics, UI, sounds, and music. Compared with Indies, I think it's likely a different world. Little pressure to finish before a deadline, no problems in publishing and re-using your work elsewhere, lots of room to be creative.

@undefined sounds interesting, thank you for advice! Is there any special forum section where I can find open source projects?

Not to my knowledge, although no doubt people link to their game project(s) here when discussing it.

This might work better https://osgameclones.com/

Note that before the long list it links to a few other resources as well.

Project hosting providers such as GitHub, GitLab, etc typically also have a search front page to find projects.
