I agree with Blaise, I don't think this guy deserved to be flamed. Sure, he could've made his request sound more professional, but c'mon. :/


I'd offer to help you out, but I've been ridiculously busy lately.

I'm in the exact same boat as Arglebargle.

Well, i guess thee is decency on this site. thanks for the support, and i will look into Rain7. Thanks for all your help.

[edit] cant find anything on Rain7, so could you give me an email or something?

okay, found him, thanxs for the help, now all i need to do is wait for a reply.

Original post by Blaise Douros For God's sake, guys. He made a perfectly legitimate request--what do you think these forums are FOR? Or would you rather sit in your basements writing music that no one is going to hear? These forums are for independent game developers to find collaborative associates, often for no cost. So if that's not what you're here for, why are you here? Flame wars are stupid. Don't start them.

Well said my friend. Snot nosed antics have no place in THIS forum, where people are only trying to improve themselves. We are here to make games and to help each other's dreams succeed, not destroy them.

:) Thanks for the words of kindness Blaise. You are quite the badass musician yourself and I expect great things from you.

Enmity, I am sorry to say that I am extraordinarily busy with projects at the moment but I wouldn't be against making some environmental music for you in the case that there was some sort of purpose or ultimate goal with your request for the music. That is, what do you hope to achieve by having this music? Is it for your personal enjoyment or for a project? Reason I ask, Due to the large amount of work I have at this time, I will have problems accepting any work that has no chance of being completed as it would probably be a waste of my time. I am not trying to be an asshole, but I need to be very selective and mindful of my time and energy these days. :) (Maybe I am getting old)

Let me know your situation and I will see how I can best serve you. ;)

Take care Enmity.

Yeah, i need something to do. if i can PM you, i will send you my email..

Appologies for not noticing this earlier.

I_Smell_Tuna and the AP: The flaming was totally uncalled for. I don't want to see it again. You should know better.

Emn1ty: You could have put more thought into your first post. And the correct forum for this is probaly "Help Wanted" (although I'll leave your thread here, but feel free to repost there if you like). If you look at the Help Wanted Posting Template for an idea of what kind of information should be included (whether you post here or there) for a clear post that helps to inform the people you are trying to attract avoid your being flamed.

- Moderator out; carry on.

I'd like to see a % complete field in the standard request for help. I think it would give people a better understanding of where a game is in it's development life cycle.

I've seen too many requests for music to be composed when the game doesn't even run or have an engine!
