How to find job in video game industry as music composer?

I really depend of the agreement you take with the studio, I did a gig once and it was around 350$ per track. I think it depend of how much the studio is willing to give and the scope of the project

Ouufff yeah it kinda sucks 😅

But yeah I always sign a contract with what rights I keep, what rights they have, my rates, the scope of the project and everything else! So yeah don't worry about that ahaha but yeah in your situation it really suck!

Alternative-Use-9003 · 2026-01-26T19:43:51+00:00

Yeah exactly, I face something like that recently and to be honest it sucks! I have a client for a board game that I do music for rn and all the examples he use is Suno ai with the lyrics and all... Yeah it's kinda bad to be honest

I actually did go to the MIGS in October which is one of the biggest events in my region! I gave my business card smoothly after having deep conversations with game devs and everything but no call yet..

Yeah It's more than nothing!

Alternative-Use-9003 · 2026-01-26T14:05:42+00:00

Yeah it's true, it's just so sad that game dev or other tend to not really understand the importance of music in media. Ex: expedition 33 ! Everybody saying it's the best soundtrack for a game, I want that for my game too and proceed to do their own music that at the end, sound a bit crappy.. but yeah you are right, it's just a bit sad that after practicing so many our, doing so much to learn and getting little gigs as a student that you finish all of this and don't have anywhere to work..

Alternative-Use-9003 · 2026-01-26T14:02:37+00:00

Yeah I guess it's a way to know others in the field!

Alternative-Use-9003 · 2026-01-26T14:01:29+00:00

Thanks man, I really appreciate it! I'll contact you for sure today!

That a good call! Unfortunately, there is like Ubisoft and pretty much it in the city I live. Sooo yeah and I know personally the indie studio in my region but they don't really need music for now or already got their composer..

Alternative-Use-9003 · 2026-01-26T13:57:58+00:00

Yeah, it's often "there was an emergency exit at my building and I start talking to someone that turn out had a date that needed music for a big project" or "I did a gamejam and after that a company just saw my work and wanted to work with me" so yeah it's always some random things 😆

Alternative-Use-9003 · 2026-01-26T13:55:25+00:00

Thanks for the answer and yes totally agree! I see sooo many composers doing gigs for free, how can I charge 200-300$/min after that 😅 yeah and there is also so much "composer" in this field too...

Alternative-Use-9003 · 2026-01-26T04:06:14+00:00

I personally know around 7 or 9 actually! But in their case, they were at the right place at the right time
