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.

The downside to Kevin MacLeod's stuff is that it's already used everywhere. If you play a lot of free indie games (especially visual novels) you will very quickly come to recognize many of these tunes.

    I'm not upset at that. I'm fond of the tune that's used in the iOS version of Tsuro - I even downloaded it to my phone and listen to it as a meditation track. I really think if the downside is, "it's so good you have to use the newest or oldest stuff because everyone else is using it", that's no reason to turn your nose up. I mean, hoe many games used the same door opening sound as Doom?
