Charging for videogames
I probably asked this once but it's been quite a while and now I do need some insight to it: A videogame studio came up to me and said: we want you, the only thing we need right now is a document where you write down your charges for the tracks and SFX and its gonna be quite some work. Estimated he said 180 hours. And I'm not sure how to charge for SFX. Or in general. I made the mistake once and to bypass the law and taxes I said I wanted a mini-job (getting only 538€ a month) Germany has some really difficult paperwork. So now they offered me: Freelance job or monthly salary job. And I do want to do freelance to get more of it but I'm not sure how to charge it. I used to do per minute of audio but when a project needs more than just some tracks I'm overasked. They're gonna submit it to get money from the state for the project and they need me to prepare my numbers for it on a document. What should I do? What do I tell them?

A friend of mine, who mainly writes music for indie projects, once told me that game developers are usually willing to pay up to €300/minute, but rarely more. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this?

@Frank Herrlinger It's really interesting to hear so many different opinions on this topic. When I participate in various hobby projects, I naturally wonder whether my efforts shouldn't be better compensated, to be quite honest. After all, you invest a lot of time.

Hi everyone! I recently participated in a hobby project on Discord. The idea was to compose a track that could be played in a medieval tavern while the player is busily waiting tables. I'd really appreciate any feedback! :-) https://youtu.be/cJDJ1RefOiw?is=SyYYVOXhZAuwYZRq

Hi everyone! My name is Christopher, and my goal is to learn as much as possible about composing for video games. I think this course on the subject is fantastic! I'd love to find like-minded people here who share similar goals :-)
