Music Composer/Animator who Can Assist Me?

[HeroTheWorldCreator]

             I am a user of RPG Maker VX Ace, and have become generally seasoned with it's basic features and enjoy the usage of the product thus far. I, however, after buying multiple music packs, still have trouble finding -just- the right sound to set the emotion of the situation my characters are placed in, or a fateful battle they are in, pitted against a terrible foe....

               I, however, regret to inform, at my age I am much too young to get any sort of work, or make money in any way. While I normally discourage free requests, I am in need of a BGM Composer, who shall receive all due credit for the game's OST.

               I, also, find difficulty in describing the instruments needed for the song, and I will attempt to do so, but I can also leave it up to your imagination, if that is what you wish.

As well as this, I could also use an animator, so I can fully show the epic or tragic scenes that may occur throughout the game's course, for my artistic and animating skills are subpar.

If you can assist me, I'll give full credit where it is due, despite my lack of ability to pay in cash. Thank you.

When requesting resources of this magnitude you might actually try offering a skill trade. Or, maybe make a project recruitment. If you're good at scripts, or even just events and mapping, it may be a lot easier to find someone willing to strike a conversation with you and trade strengths.

Also, as far as music. Have you checked out the general resource threads and the Restaff on this site as well? A lot of this site's amazing musicians are contributing loads of free music submissions in these locations.

Pretty much everything Littlefish said is on point. As far as animators go, you'd be surprised as to what people might be able to do skill-trade wise. Now, I'm not promising anything, but it IS possible.

        A man I know who's working on a game project managed to strike a deal with Someone who's doing some animation-type things. Normally the skill is worth thousands, but he had to do quite a bit. He mapped for him, playtested the game to the ground, SCRIPTED, played with scripts AND CODES, and that's just a FEW of the things.

Like LF said, open op a recruiting thread.  But take my advice: Have some bits of game first. At least enough to provide some good screenshots, facesets/busts, a story, etc. Tell them WHY you need help, and, since you can't pay them, what you're prepared to offer service-wise.

Best of luck to you!

Well, I'm not exactly that... skilled at it's features.
I'm generally seasoned, to a point where I can do subpar yet acceptable work for games, but not really anything that could be used for trade.

As for checking the resource threads, it hasn't come to mind, but I'll be sure to do that, thank you.

I would recommend taking the time to learn at least one skill of your own to a competent level.  It's very unlikely that you're going to be able to finish your game otherwise, even if you do end up getting the help you need.
