I had posted close to a year ago about representing Shinji Hosoe and his team at SuperSweep, and trying to find them some indie shmup titles to work on. I'm pleased to add that we're now also representing Jake Kaufman (known mainly for Shovel Knight, but a contributor to Otomedius), Justin Lassen (Otomedius), and Hitoshi Sakimoto (Gradius V) as well. The entire roster is at http://www.scarletmoonproductions.com/artists.
We have solutions for most budgets, whether it's licensing existing material or writing a single track as a main theme for the game.
We've been working on a lot of games that are not shmups, so I wanted to let everyone know that they're available, as I want to hear these guys doing more of this kind of stuff!
Thanks, and keep up the great work! Some really inspiring titles are coming out of this community!
Composers of Under Defeat, Otomedius, and Gradius V

Around here "Virt" is probably better known for the Do-Don-Pachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black Label Arrange Mode Album and Bullet Soul Infinite Burst Arrange Sound Track.Jayson_N wrote:I'm pleased to add that we're now also representing Jake Kaufman (known mainly for Shovel Knight, but a contributor to Otomedius)
Re: Composers of Under Defeat, Otomedius, and Gradius V
Good point. I think all of it proves that he's quite capable in this genre. Wanted to draw attention to his original score as opposed to arrange tracks. His work on the VR shooter Vanguard V should also be of interest!HydrogLox wrote:Around here "Virt" is probably better known for the Do-Don-Pachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black Label Arrange Mode Album and Bullet Soul Infinite Burst Arrange Sound Track.Jayson_N wrote:I'm pleased to add that we're now also representing Jake Kaufman (known mainly for Shovel Knight, but a contributor to Otomedius)

Would you happen to know sound designers who've worked for Shmups too? Space shooters in particular.. 
Re: Composers of Under Defeat, Otomedius, and Gradius V
virt does sound design, but not shmups specifically. He could do it, though. We have a few other guys who do sound design, too, including Dale North and others.GhostGK wrote:Would you happen to know sound designers who've worked for Shmups too? Space shooters in particular..
