First off! Hello FamiTracker community,

My team (2 programmers, 1 artist) are creating a mobile parkour game (although its more of a arcade than parkour) where the player jumps across buildings dodging planes, birds, helicopters and police turrets.. jumbo jets and the such. I'm a tracker composer myself, but my skill level hasn't proven enough to make music that matches the game. I need a Menu, Game and Game Over track that all fit together and preferably not very lengthy .. less than a minute each due to the fact its a mobile game.

I don't expect anyone to want to because I can't offer any money. I will place you in the credits if that's what you want.. or maybe your handle or your site on a billboard in the game.. or behind a banner/ribbon on a plane. That's really about all I can offer. I was sitting here today thinking of beats when I decided what would it hurt to just ask the guys who are familiar and more creative than myself to see if anyone is up for the challenge.

The tracks would be fast paced and try to imply some mood setting for menu, game play and game over would of course need to make the player feel like he's a failure. If anyone wants to take on the proposal then reply or contact me and I can show you screenshots of the game to help you get the idea of what music might work well with it.

Thanks in advance and as always you guys rock.

Could you post the screenshots here or are there copyright issues against it?

I assume you want it 160-200bpmish? How melodic?

EDIT: How long is the average player expected to last? How long could you ever go for without dying?

Hmm...

Perhaps the attachment can help you; I know it's not much of a game-over/intro screen tune, but it may inspire you to do something along those lines, psycode.

The goal is distance in the game.. so technically you could go as long as you survive. As far as BPM and melodic .. I'm really open for suggestions, but would think from playing with the game that a upbeat BPM like you suggested would be more fitting. Not sure on the melodic part.. sorry not much help


Hi again Patashu.. Remember me? (pr4nq)

Yes, I do.

I have an idea for in-game music, but please don't let this stop anyone else

Awesome.. I'm stoked! Can't wait to hear anything you guys might throw at me for the project. Like I said.. the game may not be the next hit, but its got a few peoples hard work into it just like anything else that takes a little time and we all appreciate I think I can speak for the other 2 members of my team when I say that. If you want to suggest something for the game or if there's any way I can thank you using the game for whatever comes out of this then let me know I would be honored.

Actually this does kinda fit with the menu.. I will keep this in mind still wanting to see if anyone else comes up with anything, but nice tune and give me some time to let this thread fizzle out.. I won't let your efforts go to waste though if I don't use it in gameplay or menu then i might use it as a secondary track or options/help menu. Anywho you get the idea.. I will let you know and thanks for your time!

Doommaster1994 awesome :P if you want to then no need to sign up just post what you come up with and let me know your intentions if it was meant for menu, game play, game over and if I use it and you want me to i'll do something you ask in the game or however I can show appreciation.. It's not much, but all I can offer.

I'm looking for something that feels like its right for the game, but if time passes and I never get that result I will use some of the awesome tracks provided by the helpful guys who've replied so far and yet to come.

I can send you a PM to my website. I've got a few samples of my work there. It's not NES, but it's FM synthesis like Sega Genesis, etc.
Don't worry about money. I'm not in it for the money, I'm just in it for fun.
