Hey, composers! We’ve been making a game for Xbox Live Indie Games and PC called Murder Miners (It’s an online FPS with construction / destruction---Think Halo meets MineCraft. Check out some rough gameplay).
We’re looking for an awesome retro take in the style of the Halo main menu themes (E.g., H1, H2 ,H3, Reach) to play during the intro/title screen/menu. We don’t want to be too specific here in order to give you some creative freedom, but we want something sort of “cerebral” like the Haloz, and ideally it would pick up at some point near the beginning into something more epic/heavy. Another reference could be the Metroid title music, although that’s pretty simple. Something more complex like Bits with Byte would be great (but might be too upbeat). And it doesn’t have to be purely 8bit/16bit chiptune stuff. It can have some modern flare to it if you think it fits. The length is really up to you, but obviously we wouldn’t want something only 45 seconds long or so.
Email us your submission(s) at [email protected] if you have something we might like. If we want to use it, we’ll give you $500.
(You obviously retain all rights to your submissions. However, we ask that the accepted track be kept exclusive to our game for at least 6 months after its release.)
