Hi Ladies and Gents,
I was wondering if any of you good game developer people could give me some feedback regarding communication between contributors to your game-in particular, music / sfx folk (like myself).
I've had a request to do some work on a game but the information i'm getting is pretty limited. I like to know what the story is about, what the character is like, the vibe etc so that I can get the music to fit the individual situation-with possible glimpses of the game if possible.
Would you say this was reasonable to expect?
I get the impression that the music isn't that important to the developer. I was referred to Mario and other such titles for inspiration but this really doesn't help me. I could be wasting time on a soundtrack for a game I haven't got a clue about.
What goes on in those developer skulls please:-)
Your comments are most welcome:-)
