This work shop is free for any non commercial game, requiring only 1) credit and 2) only for RPG Maker series creations. I also reserve the right to allow any music made through this workshop be available to the community here free of charge for any other project.

- A Theme - It helps if you have an emotion or a scene with which to set the mood of the music you need. It doesn't need to be heavily detailed, just enough so your 'long lost love reunion' scene doesn't have a heavy metal sci-fi soundwall. Unless that's what you want of course. The more detail the better but don't get hung up on it, key motifs work best here to ensure you get what you envision. This is almost the only vital information needed, please take time in considering what it is you want to portray.
- A Genre - Not required in the least since this is a highly subjective area when you get into details, but include if you have a solid genre in mind.
- Orchestration - If you hear violins, soft piano and some funky horn section with a distorted guitar soloing over a jazz drum kit, let me know! Not necessary but if you have instruments in mind please do include them.
- Loops? - Does it have to loop? Will it be playing in the background over a period of time and then fade out? Make a note for me.
- File output - high quality .wav or .flac? .mp3 or .ogg? It matters not, but please include if you require a specific compression output.
- Examples - a link to some examples is always nice, preferably more than one to help narrow down what it is you are after rather than just one, which might get you some sort of rehash of your favorite RPG song rather than some thing that's for you
(Thanks HotFireLegend)
Standard Track Request Example
Spoiler
Hi there! I need music for a town in my game. It's like a snowy mountain village the player stops in before heading through the mountains.
Theme: Just a laidback track, not too fast. Something with a christmas feel to it maybe.
Genre: I'm not sure, I'll leave this up to you.
Orchestration: Well I'm thinking bells. I'm not sure about the rest but it should have bells in it.
Loops?: Yea I need it to loop. Doesn't matter how long, so long as there is no dead air between the loop.
File output: .ogg would be great!

Additional info for tailored works (the above to be included also):
- I will only be able to work on one game at a time. The status will be updated at the top of this post along with roughly how long before it opens again.
- If you wish for a full in-depth soundtrack with specific character themes; town themes; random and specific boss battler themes etc. it will be much faster the more developed the game is, especially the story. I have no qualms about working on all of these in a truly DEVELOPED story or preferably a almost completed game, BUT I cannot add music piecemeal as you flesh out your ideas, it just wouldn't be fair on me or anyone waiting with a request if I'm waiting on story themes to be fully understood.
- If you want a soundtrack for just a specific scene in-game, a storyboard with time notes or preferably a demo scene to work with will give you a perfectly tailored accompanying soundtrack. You can simply post all within this thread.
- If you are interested in a full-tailored soundtrack, please make a post with approximate work load (8 character themes, 20 battle and boss themes, 12 town themes etc) and I will get back to you on a first come basis via PM as this will all be done via email or other communication rather than spam this thread.
Tailored Scene Request Example

I need some music for when my player meets an old friend. They were childhood friends and I'd like the music to move along with the scene as they talk about the good times and the bad.
Here is a demo of the scene: Link
OR
Here is a quick storyboard with time notes:Link
Theme, Genre, Orchestration?
Just something that plays along with the changing moods in the scene. I'd quite like a piano and orchestra playing but I'll leave the rest up to you.

I'd like to get a full tailored soundtrack for my game.
I'd need tracks for the following:
The Title
The Credits (variation on the title maybe)
10 player character themes
6 Antagonist themes
A few random battlers
15 unique boss battles
24 towns
Maybe 10-20 short event scenes
A level up jingle
I'll send you a demo of the game that's almost 3/4 complete, just finishing it off.
OR
I have the full story and everything complete, I know the details of all the tracks I'd like. The game is a WiP.
I think that's most of it. Get in touch when you are available. Thanks!
