Secret Care Cafe - Poll: Music (Patreon)
Content
Hey there!
So lately I've spent some time on trying to create some original music for the game.
As you probably know, it's hard to get any decent sounding music and loops. I've no music training and to make it I just use free samples that I cut and piece together and I use free online instruments. Unfortunately it takes time. Not every idea is a good sounding idea. I would say one out of a three music sessions are somewhat successful, providing me with something I'm happy with. That's why lately I've been looking into some other ways of getting music to the game.
What, in your opinion should I do regarding music?
- Continue working on making my own music. This option is the one I'm using right now. This assures that Secret Care Cafe has original music and I'm learning. The biggest problem here is that it takes time. There is one thing that I always keep in mind. Best Solo Indie Devs were originally music creators. That's something that keeps me motivated to try and make my own tracks.
- Use royalty free music, but spent time researching different kind of creators to find fitting ones. This is the easiest and fastest one - looking around the web for some good sounding tunes and putting them in the game. The big disadvantage here is that many others can use the same music in their games so no originality here. Also, we won't be able to modify the files so what I will find is what we get.
- Look around and contact some music creators, pay them for creating music for the game. I am putting the game music into the hands of people that should know what they are doing. But this option has a big problem, what if I won't like what they made? I though about trying out few cheap music creators on Fiverr for starters, to get a feeling how do you work with them and what can they create.
There is no 'good' answer here. Everything has it ups and downs. I just wanted to hear your opinions, maybe this will help me decide the best course of action. Also if you will vote for royalty free, it doesn't mean I won't sit down and try to create other tracks of music on my own. I still will want to try making something original.
Poll will go on for 2 weeks. You can chose more than one option.
Have a great week everyone! Thank you for your help, support and votes!
