looking for a composer willing to compose some tracks for an rpg maker horror game!

hi there! my name's penny and i'm currently looking to collaborate with a composer versed in piano/atmospheric tracks on a 50s/60s suburban-inspired RPG Maker horror game project i'm making. i have some visions for how the music might sound but i am flexible & overall willing to give as much freedom as you'd like! if you are interested or know anyone who might be interested in doing some collaborative work & maybe filling out your portfolio, please reach out to me via DM here or Discord (@/jokingmotive)!

you can find a short pitch document for my game here if you would like to know a few more details on what the game is about.

this is not a paid job, and more a collaborative project as unfortunately i am unemployed and currently a university student — but we can figure something out if you are in dire need of financial support.

any interest/contact is much appreciated, as i am currently struggling to work on the game with no music. sharing/reblogging would help a ton! <3

ever think about how when louis was asking armand to witness madeleine's turning, he was basically inviting him into the family by asking him to attend his daughter's wedding/hold his hand in the delivery room. and when armand essentially replies "i will not go unless you force me to" he tells him he doesn't have to and reassures him. and then what goes on in their respective heads in that exact moment are:

louis: oh damn the maitre stuff is not just a sex thing he actually like can't hold a conversation like a human being. oh but he's so sad... there there loser boyfriend... why does nobody ever want to have babies with me :/

armand: *has just sentenced louis to death*

I'm like "oh this is my comfort game" and then the comfort in my game experiences the inexplainable horrors of mankind

thinking about todd and his resolve toward… not quite isolation, but being alone in a room full of people again. he goes along to the study room to sit on his own and do his homework, he sits at the poets table and follows along with what’s being said while keeping quiet, he goes to the meetings at all but doesn’t necessarily contribute (in fact, if you watch him when cameron is telling the story ‘from camp in sixth grade’, you can see that he recognizes it before any of the other poets but doesn’t voice it until they all have). he’s not alone, necessarily, if you want to get technical about it, he’s just lonely, and he’s generally okay with that. he doesn’t have friends and that’s fine, he doesn’t participate in class and that’s fine, he doesn’t have a relationship with his family and that’s fine—he could live without any real connection and he’d have been, more or less, fine.

the thing about when he says “i can take care of myself just fine!” is that he isn’t really wrong, you can infer that he’s been doing it his entire life anyway, it’s that ‘taking care of yourself’ isn’t the same thing as really living or being happy. todd’s an introvert, certainly, and even as he gets closer to the group he defaults to sitting quietly in the background, but he’s also denying himself community out of fear not introversion. todd isn’t friendless because he’s an introvert, although that definitely plays a part, he’s friendless because he pushes anyone that might want his company away. if anyone has every wanted for his attention in the first place. (neil’s unwavering interest in him is unique (even when it comes to the rest of the poets, who are fine with todd coming along and joining the group, but aren’t really hellbent on him being there in the beginning) and his refusal to accept it is a direct result of being so lonely growing up.)

there’s obviously something to be said about the implications of his parents neglect, and the more than likely fact that he grew up friendless, and how those both play a part in in him being so skilled at dodging social interaction/being so avoidant of it, but by the time we see him in the movie he’s all but accepted his fate as being alone his entire life. he’s already accepted being the family disappointment, and he’s already accepted he’ll never amount to anything, and he obviously doesn’t like it, but he’d have managed living with that knowledge without the confirmation that it was all wrong. would he have been miserable? almost certainly. but he’d have managed. he’d done it for that long already, anyhow.

Various rough character exploration sheets from my game (the andersons are alright)! These were mostly doodles to get my initial ideas for the characters down and not actual references. I'm still trying to develop the details as I go along with putting everything into the RPGMaker engine & writing out the dialogue.

EDIT: Margie's personality has changed significantly since writing out this blurb LOL. I'll probably make an updated post sometime in the future.
