FILE 08 / SERVICES / GAME AUDIO, SOUND DESIGN & MUSIC PRODUCTION

Sound That Makes Games Feel AAA

No vague quotes. No endless loops. Transparent, deliverable-driven production built to get indie games noticed and funded.

Service Overview

Built for indie devs who need immersive audio systems, custom soundscapes, or complete scores for their vertical slices, demos, or full indie releases. Game audio pricing can easily become a black hole if billed purely hourly — so every package is structured around modular asset blocks and clear per-game scope, keeping expectations razor-sharp and budgets predictable.

TIER 01 / SOUND DESIGN BUNDLE

The Atmos & UI Toolkit

Sound Design Bundle

Games that need a complete, high-quality audio identity for UI, core mechanics, and basic environments — without a massive score footprint.

  • Custom UI sound pack: menus, clicks, inventory, transitions — up to 25 distinct assets
  • Core mechanic sound effects: player movement, interactions, core actions — up to 30 assets
  • 2x dynamic ambient background loops (exploration hum, tension layer)
  • Integrated naming convention + documentation ready for Unreal Engine / Godot import

$500 – $750

Turnaround: 5–7 business days

TIER 02 / THEME & CINEMATIC CUE

The Core Musical Theme & Cinematic Cue

Signature Sound

Vertical slices, demos, or title screens that need an immediate, unforgettable signature sound.

  • 1x Main Theme / Title Screen track — fully produced, mixed, and mastered (up to 3 minutes)
  • 1x interactive transition variant or sub-mix layer built for gameplay loops
  • Stem files delivered (WAV 24-bit/48kHz) for dynamic in-engine implementation
  • 2 rounds of revisions

$400 – $600

Turnaround: 5 business days

TIER 03 / FULL AUDIO PACKAGE

The Full Audio Package

The Indie Game Soundscape

Full vertical slices or complete short-form games looking for end-to-end professional audio integration.

  • Full custom score: main theme + 3 distinct gameplay/exploration tracks or dynamic layers
  • Engine-ready WAV stems + implementation guidelines structured for Godot / Unreal Blueprint triggers
  • Direct consultation on audio mixer staging and spatial attenuation setups
