Do you make NES music for free? I am unable to pay money, but an NES-style OST wouldn’t be a bad idea as a different style for a secondary story in a game I am working on!

OK! The bad news is that I only made this because I had songwriter’s block in a game, but the good news is that I overcame my songwriter’s block, and I also came up with an idea to have two soundtracks to choose from, like the game Sonic CD! Anyways, my game idea is a sequel to this game of mine, Nova Boltstar, which is about the titular cyborg princess who must stop an evil cyborg princess from taking over the heroine’s kingdom and forcing the heroine’s brother into marriage! The game has 16-bit graphics and plays somewhat like the battle segments of Mega Man Battle Network!

To make things different for the sequel, I will incorporate an alternate story fit for Nova’s non-cyborg brother Alaric after or before you beat Nova’s story. His game was Gameboy-styled, and it featured gameplay akin to Google’s T-Rex Game, Knuckles’ Chaotix, and Sonic Heroes. The game even featured obstacles and enemies and power-ups, and differently-weighted allies who, alongside him, can destroy certain obstacles depending on who you choose.

Now Alaric’s new story will have NES-style colors. Would you like to work on an alternate OST with more of an NES music than my original music? Sadly, because I am not able to pay money, you will not be paid for this. But you get the satisfaction of being part of a game that’s currently in development and aiming for an October 2025 release. Let me know what you think!
I am working on my original OST right now, and some of them will have a time limit. I will get back to you as soon as possible when I am done so I can determine what tracks need a specific time run to fit with cutscenes.
I have one itch user in consideration for an OST, but I can split songs into two lists based on preference if you’d like! Contact me here.
