Hello there, users of Overclocked Remix Forums; I have been spending the last few months looking for a musician for a video game project I have been working on for the last 4-5 years, and during the course of my research, a few people have referred to me this in order to create an original sound track for the project I have been working on. I don't think it would hurt for me to try asking around here, however!
What The Project is About!
Here's a brief Explanation of the Project Itself;
Kings of Heck is a Sprite based Beat Em Up Arena based brawler in which the players have to survive wave after wave of enemies in a Wrestling Ring Based Environment, where players has to beat and grapple their way through hordes of enemies until they finally face against the big boss of the stage. The game has a large array of playable characters (10 planned out for the final product), with also a large array of bosses and enemies.
This project originally started out as a mod for the Program OpenBor around 3 years back which originally started , but since then, we have recruited a programmer, and now aim to create an original product which we would be able to release as our own thing. We have almost everything we need to make a project, other then a musician to create music for the project.
What We are Looking For!
In regards to the music type that I am looking for this project, I am looking for a veeery specific genre which may be quite difficult to replicate; not many games use this time of music, with only one game using it extensively, under the name "Splatter Master". However, they don't have the OST of that game anywhere on the net that I can used to show, so here are a few examples I can post from other game OSTs for an example;
Essentially, music with the primary instruments consisting of Electric Guitars, Saxophones and a Organ Piano/Keyboard. For those interested, I do have the OST of Splatter Master as a RAR which I can share with anyone interested, which should prove to be a lot more helpful insight for what I expect from this Project.
I don't have any footage of the current build of the game, but I do have an trailer for the original Mod that we created for openbor around 3 years back, which should give you guys a small idea of what to expect from this project!
Just remember that this footage, whilst showing the basic game play, is pretty out of date; Animations, palette, amongst other things, have been improved since the original trailer; the music in the trailer is also another example of the kind of music we are looking for, for this project.
Pricing!
In terms of payment for this project, considering that, with most video game music, the songs tend to loop after a 30 second mark, and considering we need around 10 songs of that caliber for this project, I've been told that a fair price for the production of these songs would be around the £200-250 mark, with each song being around £20-25. I wouldn't be able to pay that much immediately up front, since considering we have a small team for this project, it would take a month or two for us to acquire the funds to purchase these tracks; I would like to try and reserve and artist beforehand however, as musicians tend to get busy with other projects if they are not approached before hand!
If any of you guys are interested, please contact me at mysteriousoctopuss@gmail.com with an possible example of your works to give me and idea of your music skills. If you are interested, I could send you the rar of the Splatter Master OST to give you a bigger idea of the kind of music we are looking for. I would advise that before you take on this project, that you are very confident in that you are able to create the genre of music I am looking for!
I hope this thread is informative enough to garner interest; this is the first time I have asked for help like this for a project, so I hope this thread is substantial enough for garner you folks attention for this project!
