Ok, I have a game made in RPG Maker (in Spanish) and I would like it to have its own soundtrack, in midi format.

And while I promise that I will pay whoever does this job for me, I will also leave some things for you to consider:

1. My projects are not the most “family friendly” thing out there (from dark humor, bloody scenes and even questionable moments with certain types of characters), and although this game is one of the “lightest” ones I have, it really I give you this notice to avoid any problems with whoever came to work with me.

2. As I said before, I will pay the person who composes the soundtrack, but I warn you in advance that I will pay you in Mexican pesos

3. I am a fairly shy person, so you should talk to me first when you need something (please be patient with me >_<)

What do you mean in "midi" format? Do you mean chiptune or 16 bit music?

FakeGuy135 days ago

I was thinking about midi music that would sound like pc music, but I wouldn't have problems with snes type music either.

Then you probably mean 16 bit (if you're wanting authentic music that "sounds like pc music"), most old school RPGs were either chiptune or 16 bit, tho' nowadays we also have more modern 8 bit that sounds a lot like "pc music" too.

I'll attach my Patreon link here (where I have some JRPG chiptune songs I've composed for members) so you can see my composition and art style of RPG music. You can hit play and listen to everything right in there.

If you want to discuss further about the project and see if we can come to an agreement, you can add and message me on my Discord: "fictiummusic".

MIDI is a specific type of music file, not related to chiptunes in any way. It is actually a communication protocol for musical information, so for example you can send MIDI data to an external synthesizer and it will play the notes using its own sounds. But your computer can also play MIDI songs, it will sound a little different based on what system is playing it but the file sizes are incredibly small compared to real audio.

I know what a MIDI file is. THE THING IS, sometimes the Devs will mistake a 16 bit song with the sound of a MIDI file which is very similar to an extent, I was asking for clarification in that regard. So much so that it's a very unusual request for a Dev to want MIDI files in his game instead of the classic 8 Bit / 16 Bit / 32 Bit NES / SNES / PS1 era.

"I was thinking about midi music that would sound like pc music" seems pretty clear but ok

Yeah dude, you're totally right. Thanks for the great insight.

Hi there! How many tracks are you envisioning for this project? Do you have any reference music you can share so I can get a better idea of what you're looking for?

FakeGuy135 days ago(+1)

At a minimum the soundtrack would be 40 tracks or more. And yes, I have a few references for several tracks.

poisonparadiserecords134 days ago

Would you mind sending a couple of the references over? I'd love to make a sample for you and if you like it, I'd love to hear more details about the paid position

FakeGuy134 days ago(+1)

Here are 3 examples of how I want the soundtrack:

Battle:

Indoor:

Overworld:

I have thought about other soundtracks from other games, but so far this is what has convinced me the most.

Love them! Do you have a formal job listing/description/details posted somewhere so I may formally apply?

The truth is that I don't have anything "formal" to say, but if you want you can contact me by email. And while you're at it, I'll send you the document with the soundtrack that I want.

Excuse me, are you still here? You have no longer responded

Magicsofa121 days ago

I think your email is not listed anywhere?

Magicsofa131 days ago

I have some MIDIs that I could send you, if you would like to hear them feel free to send me a message at: magicsofastudios@gmail.com

Hey, I’ll attach my demo sampler, then if you like it we can discuss the details:

I would be very interested in hearing more about your project. Here's one track that I have on YouTube:

I'm very much interested in this project. I've worked on similar projects like this one. I think I can get you exactly what you need. What is your email? Check out my sound cloud in the meantime: https://soundcloud.com/official-paracite/tanky/s-jh8VSzERlHY?si=0d1b2c9aa2e64f97...

FakeGuy121 days ago

I thank you for responding, but really this style of music would not fit the style of my game. Although for one of the projects I have planned maybe it could work
