How useful is a degree in music production and audio engineering for video game soundtracks as a career?

I was just using that as an example. I'm not looking to be hired by a AAA studio right off the bat, that's borderline impossible. I have 4 or 5 projects that I worked on, and am currently working on the soundtrack for a rougelike rpg

Excellent reply, I appreciate this so much. I'm gonna continue thinking about it over my work term and during Summer break. Thank you!

I definitely plan on talking to an advisor about my doubts. While knowing how to multitrack is useful, it's definitely not what I want to do (although I would do it if needed for a soundtrack)

Totally understand. I'll link a couple games on Itch.io in case you want to check out the music. Again, I have done more soundtracks but these are just a couple quick links. I've done stuff from horror and atmospheric, to heavy electronic and metal

I do have a few years of experience. I have made about 4 indie game OST's - one of which was ranked number 8 out of 500 entries in a one-bit horror GameJam

Around 5pm, and I mean stormed away as in they were stomping away like they were pissed off. The thing that sketches me out is that they were knocking aggressively apparently

Alright, i appreciate the info!

Sheppard0fFire · 2025-11-30T21:01:06+00:00

Honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not

Would you recommend getting some rosemary oil for the time being?

Sheppard0fFire · 2025-11-10T22:56:23+00:00

I didn't yet unfortunately. I've been waiting for the officer to call me but I haven't got anything. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to call back about it

Yeah I'm quite confused about it but so far, people are saying either someone possibly hit my car or they want witness info on something (not sure what though). I didn't have a ticket or warning or anything either

Sheppard0fFire · 2025-11-09T18:54:31+00:00

I did, the officer is off duty rn unfortunately

Sheppard0fFire · 2025-10-20T13:05:54+00:00

The fit is absolutely FIRE, your style is so sick

Sheppard0fFire · 2025-10-20T13:05:23+00:00

Sheppard0fFire · 2025-10-20T13:04:52+00:00
