How Indie Soundtrack Have Takeover
In recent years indie games have surged into popularity from online market places like Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and Steam making it easier and easier for anyone to make a game and get it into the video game marketplace and compete with blockbuster games that sell for $60 and indie maybe going for $20. With the success of these games it has given the opportunity of the composers to actually make a start in composing.
With the recent staggering success of gaming soundtracks like Undertales and Fire Watch, gamers have began to pour money into the pockets of these indie composers because most of them will go on to sell the soundtrack on the composer's Bandcamp page because the developers see the music as the composers and not really theirs. There is a certain freedom when making a game for an indie developer because they to have little to work with and will push themselves to the limit to makes these games the best they can. Indie game developer make these games from the heart because they know that this is a great idea and that same feeling comes from the composers as well. So intern this is a love letter to indie game composers new and old keep it up and either be independent or stay with a developer that you have a mutual relationship with. Thanks for all you composers make and I will still be shocked every time ad indie soundtrack come out and it is fantastic.
