About the Project
nxbots is a multiplayer Roblox horror game inspired by nextbot/manhunt-style games, but being developed into its own game with original monsters, lore, objectives, vehicles, multiple gamemodes, customizable servers, and other survival mechanics.
Players can take the role of survivors or player-controlled monsters, with the exact gameplay changing depending on the gamemode and scenario.
I’m the project owner/lead developer. I currently handle most of the scripting, UI/UX design and implementation, game design, lore concepts, planning, and general development , so I’m looking for people interested in helping expand the project creatively and technically.
The project is still in development.
Who I’m Looking For
Lore Writers / Lore Ideators
Help develop the game’s lore, characters, monsters, locations, events, dialogue, and environmental storytelling.
I’m especially looking for people who can come up with ideas that can actually be represented inside the game , rather than lore that only exists in documents.
Expected:
-
Pitch and develop lore ideas.
-
Help connect lore to gameplay and maps.
-
Write short dialogue, character lines, descriptions, etc.
-
Discuss and improve existing ideas with the team.
Quality Assurance / Playtesters
Actively test new features and look for bugs, exploits, balancing issues, confusing mechanics, and other problems.
Expected:
-
Actually test features instead of only playing normally.
-
Give detailed bug reports with reproduction steps when possible.
-
Give useful feedback on gameplay and balancing.
-
Retest bugs after fixes.
Environment Builders
Help create and detail environments such as forests, buildings, roads, cabins, facilities, interiors, and other locations.
Expected:
-
Build environments that fit the game’s horror style.
-
Follow map layouts and references.
-
Optimize builds appropriately for Roblox.
-
Be comfortable receiving feedback and revising work.
I will give you models to work with for detailing.
You don’t necessarily need to build an entire map yourself.
Map Layout Planners / Level Design Artists
Plan maps before they are fully built.
This includes creating top-down layouts, planning roads, buildings, objectives, landmarks, escape routes, chase routes, and general map flow.
Expected:
-
Create readable map concepts/layouts.
-
Think about gameplay rather than only appearance.
-
Plan locations around objectives, monsters, survivors, and vehicles.
-
Work with environment builders to turn layouts into playable maps.
Monster & Character Concept Artists / Designers
Help create original monster concepts for NXBOTs.
This can include appearance, behavior, abilities, personality, lore, sounds, and gameplay ideas.
Expected:
-
Create original concepts rather than slight variations of existing characters.
-
Think about how the monster would actually play.
-
Provide sketches, reference sheets, written concepts, or similar material.
-
Be willing to develop concepts further after feedback.
Voice Actors
Provide voices for characters, monsters, recordings, announcements, or other audio used throughout the game.
Expected:
-
Have reasonably clear microphone quality.
-
Be willing to provide multiple takes when necessary.
-
Follow character direction/references.
You do not need professional voice acting experience.
General Requirements
-
Must be 16 or older.
-
Be reasonably active and communicative.
-
Be able to take feedback.
-
Show examples of previous work where applicable.
-
Don’t apply for a role you have no intention of actually working on.
I’ve had people join the development team before and then make no attempt to contribute. If you’re not going to actively try to do the role you’re applying for, please don’t apply. You don’t need to work constantly, and I understand everyone has a life outside the project, but I do expect some genuine effort and communication.
Compensation
This is currently primarily a volunteer / revenue-share project .
Depending on your role and contribution, compensation can include an agreed percentage of future game revenue. Specific arrangements can be discussed privately before any significant work is started.
You are not expected to work without knowing what arrangement applies to you.
Interested?

You can also apply for more than one role if you genuinely want to contribute to multiple areas.
