[Hobby] Need Music for a Banjo Kazooie Like
Hello, my name is Jordan, I'm a dev and technical artist with a decade of experience in unreal. I've done basically everything in the 3d pipeline, with experience modelling, animating, vfx etc. I'm looking to put together a small prototype project for the purposes of community building, exploring some opportunities to mentor people in the unreal ecosystem, and meeting other devs. With the end goal of perhaps making video content regarding the game dev process.
Here's the pitch for the game (Real scope of prototype notwithstanding):
Sigurd is a viking warrior. Perhaps the greatest warrior who has ever lived. So good of a warrior he finds himself unable to enter Valhalla as when he dies, he does so in the comfort of his own bed at the age of 92, having not been killed in battle despite fighting every day of his life. Sigurd now must journey the land in a comical adventure in order to attempt to win favor from the gods and find a loophole around his predicament.
This game is a blend of old school Banjo Kazooie type collectathons, Legend of Zelda, and Dark Souls. What does that even mean? It means it’s a sandbox of a world that lets players explore and engage with it how they see fit. The overtones are very oriented around playful fun and movesets that are funny and engaging. The main character is an old viking with a cane and cooking pot that he uses to traverse and interact with the world; such as using his pot as a boat and cane as an oar, using his pot to shield himself from damage by hiding within it, and using his cane to swing from points, along with more magical items he finds in his journey.
We're a few months in and are gearing up to show off the first showcase of gameplay.
If you think you could provide music along the lines of said genre, feel free to message me or add me on discord, where you can be shown the GDD and have access to the project:
