Looking for a music composer for a NES game in development

Post by kamaleon70 »

We are a small team composed by an assembly developer and a graphic designer and we are working on small project called Cursed Village. We keep improving it and adding new features (even if for now is just the first level), but what we are really missing is the music (and sound effects). We have already done some tests with music from Famistudio and everything works great with the provided engine (both music and sound effects).
If you are a music composer for NES (possibly with some experience with Famistudio) and interested in participating in the development of a new game, please let us know. :)
The current version of the game is available here: https://kamaleon70.itch.io/cursed-village
We have already introduced some improvements (like better title area, better gravity and better jump and additional animations) but it is still an internal demo version shared only to the current team for now.

This sounds an interesting project. I work with a team who specialise in creating music for electronic children's toys, which use IC chips with similar capabilities to those used to be used in the heyday of the NES. We've done a lot of work using MIDI, limited instrument voice, wavetables etc, so feel we would be well placed to help you with this project. Let us know if this would be of interest and we can discuss further.

Hey there! Awesome project!

Let me know what sound driver you're using?

I'm a music composer and sound designer for games.

I have experience in composing and producing music in famitracker (3 years with game music and +20 with music composing in general), and also working with limitations for the NES (famitone 2 and for NES maker's GGSound).
It doesn't need to be made on famistudio exactly, but depending on the sound driver you're using, I can use it too.

Here's my NES and 8-bit music portfolio.

If you're interested, let's talk !

Thanks for responding. I’ll soon send a private message to discuss about it.

Thanks :)

Now I'm curious. Did you do any work on Weebles or Gloworm toy lines?

Not with those lines, but we have done a load of stuff for Hasbro over the years. Do you have experience in this area also?

Nope. I just run a fan wiki on Fandom that documents the Weebles toy line since 1987, including a toy ID guide for 2004-2006 Weebles. (I leave the 1970s generation for This Old Toy.)
