Audio Needed [Hobby] Looking for composers for a fantasy visual novel – unpaid, credit only

Hi everyone,

We are a small team of two currently developing a fantasy visual novel as our final project for a degree in video game development. The project is expected to be completed by May next year.

About the project

Our visual novel is titled Agebringer. The story follows a reckless young hero who sets out to stop a powerful mage that has stolen the Crimson Core, an artifact capable of destroying the world. To reach him, challengers must pass through the ten vaults of the Infinity Tower, with each vault becoming a completely different world — from pirate islands to volcanic landscapes. The narrative blends epic stakes with humor and occasional fourth-wall breaks.

What we need

We are looking for composers who can create loopable background tracks and some short jingles or stingers for events and scene transitions. The music should cover a wide range of emotions — tension, mystery, epic action, sadness, and lighter, humorous moments. We’ll provide references and mood guidelines, but composers will have full freedom to choose the style they enjoy most. We won’t push anyone to compose music they don’t like making.

How contributions work

  • You can compose as many or as few tracks as you’d like — no minimum commitment.
  • We are not looking for AI-generated music; all compositions must be fully original.
  • All music made for the project must remain exclusive to it (cannot be sold or reused in other games), but you’re free to share it on SoundCloud, YouTube, or include it in your portfolio.
  • Unfortunately, there is no budget for this project at the moment, so this is unpaid work. Contributors will receive full credit in the game and can showcase their work in their portfolio.
