Hi!

I would like to know how I could get in contact with game developers to make music. I've always wanted to do this, even before I started writing chipmusic. I don't know where to start or how to do it, so basically, I would need a kick in the ass. Can you guys share a bit of info or personal experiences about getting into making music for games? I will post something in the sticky, but there must be indie game forums or sites where I could get in touch with developers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!!!

I found some work with indie developers by getting involved at Indie DB and Mod DB.  Both sites share a forum and are a great place to post your demo reels, get feedback, and find developers.  Additionally, you can seek out development teams individually based on search criteria.  Some developers will also pay to list a job opening on the job board and you can use that to reply to teams with specific needs.

You could also check out the following forums:
http://forums.tigsource.com/
http://forums.indiegamer.com/
http://www.gamedev.net/index

All of those are fairly active indie game forums.  With rare exceptions, it seems best to actively seek out developers currently working on titles that interest you and contact them directly.  With luck, they may have an opening on the project or their next one.  If nothing else, send them your demo reels and if a good impression is made, they'll contact you in the future.
