SCYTHUZ'S HUMBLE STORE OF ASSORTED MUSIC

Posts

Pages: 1
Hello, I'm Scythuz and I am a professional freelancer who specialises in music and sound effects and ambience design. I have been working as one for roughly 5 years and have worked on games in various engines from RPG Maker & Gamemaker to Unity & the Unreal Engine. I've worked on everything from small game jam entries to fully fledged steam releases with over 100k copies sold.

If you want to bring your game's audio to life, I'm your guy. I will take on pretty much any type of reasonable work within the above fields and you can hear some of my work right here!

Sound Design Portfolio:

Coming soon!

Past commissions/projects:

Please check out my soundcloud sets page to see the projects that I am currently allowed to share work for, feel free to ask for examples in specific styles.

If you like what you hear, please consider hiring me!

My prices are as follows:

$20 per hour for all music, sound design and audio related work.
OR
$100 per minute for music work.

Example pricings:

Most simple pieces of 2 minutes long music will usually take 4 to 6 hours. More complex themes, or themes longer than 2 minutes will cost more due to taking longer to create.

Sound design work takes a lot less time, it's not unusual to see me do 5-15 sounds in an hour. Menu sounds are even quicker than this.

Budgeting, inquiries and free sample tracks

If you're not sure whether you can afford me or not, or simply want to compare my prices to other people more easily, please feel free to approach me with a budget, track list and specific style in mind (youtube links are great for this).

I will happily help with any inquiries you might have and I may even have time to give you a short sample track snippet. Be aware that this would be an incomplete track of a short length (less than a minute) and only serves to give you a taste of what it's like to work with me, how good a fit I will be for your game and a way to gauge pricing more accurately if there is uncertainty.

Thanks for checking me out, I look forward to working with you! :)
the best part of this post is that I now have an idea of cost for songs relative to the quality and renown of the artist!

40$ sounds pretty high to me.


Yeah, I understand you concerns so let me explain it to you :)
I've deliberately charged higher for commercial jobs for two reasons.

1. To make sure I work with people who are serious about releasing their game commercially and aren't just doing it "just because they can" (you get a lot of these people in my line of work and they nearly always fail, that's bad for both of us.)

2. With a commercial game there's sometimes more chance that my music will be heard by more people (I mainly refer to steam/desura releases here), so naturally, I'm going to work that little bit harder on each track. The higher price reflects this.

The prices in general are high because this is my living and I have very high standards for what I do, I only want to be hired by people who are serious about what they do and based on my previous price rates there is definitely an undeniable correlation between how high my prices are and how seriously a client takes their project.

Obviously this isn't always the case, there are people with low budgets who make amazing games of course but so far it's been pretty fool proof.
Here's some more commissions I've been working on recently:

Reaper - The Reckoning

Wheels and the Leg Girl

The Dragons Among Us

I'm currently available for more work :)
Hello there, it's been a long time!

Since my last posts I have been hired by 55 Revolver as their sound designer & music composer. We've been very busy working on various projects, one of which is coming out very soon! The name of this project is Bloxitivity and I am happy to be able to share the soundtrack with you! https://soundcloud.com/scythuz/sets/bloxitivity-official


I am now in a position where I'm not too busy to take on extra work, so if you need convincing sound design and/or well-crafted music, feel free to inquire!
My prices have now been cut in half, but don't despair! This just means that you're getting high quality music and sound effects design for just $10 an hour!
I recently helped out my brother with his university work, I made him some music and sounds for a game concept, you can check them out here!
