Shinji Hosoe music for your shmup

Post by Jayson_N »

Hello, this is Jayson Napolitano at Scarlet Moon Productions. I'm currently working with Japanese composer Shinji Hosoe, who's known in Japan for his extensive career writing games for music, with dozens of notable shmups (Dragon Spirit, Under Defeat, Ginga Force, Otomedius, etc.) to his name. You can see his full credits here:

If anyone is interested in having him contribute to their game, even if it's just a main theme, let me know! You can reach me at jayson[at]scarletmoonproductions.com.

I'm also working with a number of other composers that you can see here:

Thanks!

Man screw all those other guys! I just want Shinji's work in my games! He's my hero. :D

So what's the catch anyway? Do we gotta make a high-budget title or something?

Thanks for the kind words regarding Hosoe-san's work.

There's really no catch. The team is simply interested in doing some work overseas. The title doesn't have to be huge, but there has to be a reasonable budget for music. We'd also consider doing a few tracks for a game, or licensing existing music to try to fit within a budget.

So for instance, one could rescue Sakimoto's Verytex soundtrack from the poor man's Star Soldier that it got stuck in? Neats.

Probably more along the lines of unused music from other projects or original compositions that weren't made for a game. SuperSweep, for example, produces a lot of music outside of game projects that would be great for a variety of games. =)
