Contracting out for game assets

[XanthorXIII]

Does anyone know someone I can contract out to for Game Assets.
ART(2D at the moment), Sound/Music...
Will probably need someone to start work by the end of November beginning of December.
Thanks!

What kind of terms are you offering ?
We can provide very high-class gfx and music.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with how the process works with doing outsourcing, so I am not sure what an appropriate offer would be.

What kind of Music Genre/Sound do you need?

Maybe you could send me a pm...

cheers

VERY good 3d and logo work 
I might use you to outsource some logo-stuff for an consultant business i run.

For our 2d-gfx, you can have a look at theese (the two first one is for a almost finished iPhone game):

There are lots of Creative Commons sites for sound and images. These allow royalty free and copyright free media - the artists only require attribution (namecheck/website mention etc.)

I'm using one such musician Kevin MacLeod (who also happened to create the music for the Hairy Legs (or whatever it's called) iPhone game.

you might not get exactly what you want, but you might get something you like

[ampos]

Can you give me some of this royalty free music sites?

Now those drawings from your friend are really awesome... Does he use PDpro 5?

hey AMPOS,

I posted it somewhere and I also know this does not substitute real artists, but you may wanna take a look at this fine util here:

It may also help as place holders, or scratch to start some composition up...

Can someone extend on Moru's midi file lib to read midi files? This would be very useful!

I love this program!  It's random music, so it may take 20 or more attempts, but it can output some nice sounding 'music', that you own!  (I assume?)   It has multiple options for the type of music you want etc.
And changing the tempo can really change the mood of the song.

It saves the song as a .midi file.  Does anybody know how to edit midi files?  I would like to remove parts (like the beginning).  And, I would love the option of changing the instrument for certain parts, and not use the one(s) the program came up with.

I agree!  Playing midi files in your games would sure save on music storage / download.  Each level could have its own song!


And there is always SFXR for random sound effects.  Cool little random .wav generator that also allows you to tweak the sound.  Get it here:
