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?

@Christopher Karl I left the video game industry about 12–15 years ago. Back then I was already charging 300 euros per minute for music. That makes me think the price is probably too low and should be more like 500 euros per minute or even higher, depending on the rights the publisher wants from the composer. In my experience it is usually a total buyout, which means you give the studio or publisher exclusive usage rights. In that case, 300 euros per minute is far too low!

I listened to the first track (don't have more time right now, but I try to come back to it at a later time), and it sounds massive! That's a good production IMO. 👍
