I was wondering if you people could help me out with some music. As I tried making my own without much luck (at least not fitting music).
Me and my friend/programmer are Dutch game development students currently making our first big project, next to our student game development work. It’s a 3D space shooter that places you in a civil war in which the Republic tries to stop the Independence from creating a separate government. Where you can fight for one of the groups.
About the game:
The game called ‘Tian Xia’ and its still in early development. The game is planned to have multiple game modes, from team based objective modes to free for all modes. And we are currently a developing a small demo to show the game off a bit, in this demo you shoot a flying target for 1 minute to get an high score like an arcade game.
At the moment I just used the music and sound effects that I myself made, but the music sounds like it came out of a happy platformer more than a space shooter. And I’m looking for music that sounds more game genre appropriate (think gradius, star fox, solar striker, etc. for music). We being student can’t afford buying music, so we are hoping someone has music that could fit and of course you’ll get credit. It would be great if it was specially written, but that’ll probably asking too much for a non-paid job.
(something you might consider)
In the final version of the game we also want to use fixed music (but that’s still far away, if ever) for the intro and menu, but when playing we want to make a way to put your own music into the game. And we need a few basic songs for that. Of course we than could offer a percentage of the earnings up to a certain point. And you’ll then also be credited. But this only applies when we finish the game.
I keep a development blog about the game, recently it is more a weekly game design article. With school and some of my programmers personal business we couldn’t work that much on it in the recent weeks. But we are currently working steadily pace again to get the demo out.

If there are any question feel free to ask. Or something you don’t agree with or seems to be out of the ordinary (I think I covered all bases but I can't be sure).
Thanks in advance!
