This is a question that mostly goes to some of the game devs who frequent this forum. But some general people might have some ideas.

I was wondering if anybody happens to know of any good places to look for people who might be willing to work on some 18+ game dev projects.

I feel like recruitments for such projects wouldn't be particularly welcome on most of the standard job boards for indie game devs, for example in the forums for most of the game engines used for such things such as Unity and Game Maker usually don't want to be associated with adult content. Yet I also know of very few hentai centered communities where I could potentially find people capable of professional work.

Artists I can generally find just from tracking down the commission info of hentai artists and seeing who's open to commissions, but some of the other ones like programmers, musicians and such can sometimes be a little trickier aside from just knowing people and getting referrals. And even then, sometimes finding good artists to work on games simply by skimming portfolio or porn sites can be difficult to sift through.

Since I'm chipping away at my own projects, I thought I'd ask some other devs to share some of their experiences on how they found decent programmers, voice actors and such people for their own projects. Or if anyone in general knows some places I should check out.

(Sorry if this is the wrong place, to post this, but I do see a few discussion and meta threads in here once in a while that aren't specific to any one game)

Pixel joint for artists.
Any amateur VA forum for VAs (just mark the topic as 18+)

I was more embarrassed asking for a VA than the actual VAs were to do sexy voices.
 
Re: Places for game devs to hire people for h-game projects

I actually started up/run a discord specifically for this purpose a few months ago; as of right now it has just under 250 people in it, comprising developers, artists, writers, programmers, musicians, voice actors, animators, translators, and marketers, plus some lurkers and such.

Everyone in this discord is up to work on NSFW games/projects or currently is working on them, so it's a good place to get feedback on your stuff from others working on similar projects, as well as good networking and all that. (Credit goes to CypressZeta for the original idea/egging me on to make it in the first place, too!)

I haven't really linked it around publicly though, mainly because I'd like to keep it to people who actually are interested in working on h-games as much as possible, and to keep trolls out (and when you make a discord public it tends to attract trolls), but if you or anyone else is interested and 18 years of age or older, definitely send me a PM and I'll link you.

------------------

As far as external places, Tumblr is huge, there are countless artists, musicians, voice actors, animators etc. on there that are up for NSFW work, and honestly, if you like an artist's work, just send them a message initially to see if they're interested at all in working on NSFW games, and if they are, send them your project info so they can look it over and see if it's something they'd be interested in. A number of artists I'm working with had never done NSFW stuff before; they were always up for the idea, but just never had a project to do it on, so you never know. Same goes for voice actors, musicians, coders, anyone, really.

/u/Scherzo you can get a jump-start here. The discord is active and you can share your works there to get feedback, as well as finding a helping hand for your project.

I don't have experience working with professionals because budget-constraints but if it is amateur (translator, art, voice & music) help you require, tumblr, deviantArt and reddit have many artists that will help. As Kyrieru and HentaiWriter pointed out, you really only need to shoot the artists a PM or email.

I got my composer and voice actress off newgrounds and reddit/r/audiogonewild respectively.
 
Re: Places for game devs to hire people for h-game projects

I really like the initiative. I've been looking for an NSFW dame dev forum/community for a long time.

I'm currently developing a Twine 2 game in JavaScript, but I've started designing a side-scroller/sandbox/action-adventure game before that, which I'm planning on putting together in Unity. I have invested countless of hours teaching my self art to get some 2D assets of my own, but so far these efforts have been pretty much fruitless. It would be really nice to chat with people who are going through the same troubles or to get help.

There aren't many people who can work on this type of content, which is a bit of a shame, seeing how horror/survival genres are so popular, where in reality those games are more terrifying and corrupting than getting worked up by pixel-porn and love stories in my opinion.

So, where do I sign up for this secret NSFW dev forum?

If you're looking for western artists, you can try to commission someone from hentaifoundry, furaffinity, inkbunny (yes some furries may be willing to draw some human stuff) and 4chan's /i/ board. If wwoec was still around, you could have tried their forum too. I think most of it's members moved on to palcomix and jab forums.

Never heard of Pixel joint. I'll poke around there a bit.

Are there any specific VA forums you'd recommend? I don't know of any myself.

For clarity, by "professional" I mainly mean in terms of having good quality work and most importantly, reliability. Having 'professionalism" rather than necessarily being full time literal professionals by definition.

Heh. Interesting topic.

i was just thinking of finding an artist for some art for a little sex game I'm making. (Nothing fancy, RPG Maker)
