Experienced Roblox Map Builder Needed — Cosmic Hub / Lobby (3 Milestones)

About the Project

I'm building a polished collectible-Guardian gacha tower defense game with a cosmic / multiversal theme. I need an experienced Roblox map developer to build the central lobby/hub — the first space every player loads into. This is a hero area and the visual first impression of the game, so the bar is high. I'm benchmarking against top-tier Roblox TD hubs.

Two reference images are attached. Please read how to use each one:

-Image 1 (3D render) — the LAYOUT. This is the functional intent: a raised octagonal/polygonal plaza enclosed by an ornate perimeter wall, a grand front staircase with a circular teleport/emblem pad, a central back summon portal (gold frame, glowing energy orb), a central floor compass/star inlay, and themed stations around the ring (crystal monument, garden plots, statues, a vendor canopy). Use this for scale, footprint, station placement, and overall composition.

-Image 2 (AI concept art) — the MOOD. This is the aesthetic ceiling: celestial palette, marble-and-gold architecture, glowing crystals, banners, water features, cosmic skybox. Use this for color, materials, lighting feel, and set-piece inspiration. You do not need to reproduce it 1:1 — it's the vibe target, not a blueprint.


Palette / theme: violet + gold + celestial blue, cream/marble stone, glowing crystals, cosmic nebula skybox.

Scope & Milestones - each milestone must be approved before the next begins.

Milestone 1 — Graybox / Blockout

-Full hub blocked out in untextured parts at correct, final proportions.
Correct scale relative to an R15 character (I will confirm against my spawn/UI needs).
-All major zones placed: spawn area, front staircase + teleport pad, central portal, central floor medallion, and each perimeter station.
-Walkable and collision-tested — no falling through, no getting stuck, clean navigation around every station.
-Goal: lock layout and scale before any art time is spent.

Milestone 2 — Full Textured Map

-Complete textured/modeled build matching the layout from M1 and the aesthetic from the references.
-All architecture, props, foliage, crystals, statues, banners, and floor detailing in place.
-Materials, color, and lighting tuned to match the celestial palette.
-Optimized geometry (see Technical Requirements).

Milestone 3 — VFX

-All effects: the central portal energy, crystal glow/pulse, ambient floating particles/embers, water/fountain effects, god rays / atmospheric lighting, and any accent emitters that bring the hub to life.
-Effects must be performance-budgeted (this runs on mobile — see below).

Technical Requirements (please confirm you can meet these)

-Built natively in Roblox Studio.
-Mobile-first optimization. A large share of players are on phones. Be deliberate about part/mesh counts, draw calls, and texture resolution. No oversized textures, no unnecessary geometry.
-Clean, organized hierarchy — sensibly named Models/Folders so I can navigate and edit it later.
-Geometry anchored; correct collision setup (invisible barriers on the perimeter wall, CanCollide tuned so players move cleanly).
-A defined spawn area / SpawnLocation.
-Lighting set up to match the mood and compatible with Future lighting.
-Streaming-friendly and within a reasonable memory budget.
-Modular where reasonable — stations as discrete models so I can reposition them or attach interactive UI/prompts later.
-Delivered as a .rbxl and/or .rbxm. If anything is custom-modeled, include source meshes/textures.

Asset Ownership & Licensing

-Tell me upfront whether you'll fully custom-model the hub or assemble from licensed packs — either is acceptable, but disclose your sources.
-Everything delivered must be license-clean for a commercial live-service game, with full usage rights transferred to me. No assets you don't have the right to sell/transfer.

Who I'm Looking For

-A serious, experienced Roblox map/hub builder — portfolio required (live Roblox places or video flythroughs preferred over screenshots).
-Comfortable with stylized high-fantasy / celestial aesthetics.
-Performance-conscious. I will check part counts and mobile framerate.

How to Apply

Please include:

-Portfolio links — ideally walkable Roblox places.
-Estimated timeline per milestone.
-Whether you custom-model or assemble, and your typical part/triangle budget for a hub this size.
-MUST READ: Confirm that you've read the full description to me. If you do not confirm, I will not select you.

Budget & Timeline
Budget: $250-$750
Target timeline: 1-2 Weeks
I treat Milestone 1 as a low-risk trial of how we work together before committing to the full build.
