▲ 61 ▼ How to get video game music? No AI (lemmy.zip) submitted 5 months ago by mmyu@lemmy.zip to c/gamedev@programming.dev 18 comments fedilink hide all child comments Hey everyone, any recommendations for ways to get music for your game? I would prefer not to use AI. I want to either pay a musician or get free music made by a real person. I tried making my own music for a bit and I felt totally out of my depth.

Like where would I find musicians to hire for this? Is there a repository of free music that I could use for games? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago I thought I would take note of the indie games with songs I liked and check the credits and contact them. I've also seen artists on Bandcamp that do game music. permalink fedilink source parent [–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago You could hire someone off of Fiverr, just make sure you read their descriptions and make sure they actually do what you're asking for, then reach out to them about specifics before payment. I kinda got burned on this once, I accidentally hired a light-rock/alternative drummer to do a hardcore song and the results weren't great. permalink fedilink source parent
