Music Composer – Freelance

About the role

Join a creative project as the music composer and sound designer for DIGDROP, a vertical falling‑block and match‑3 puzzle game with a unique mine/dig‑down theme. The game’s journey takes players from the surface through soil, gravel, brick, lava, ancient ruins, and into the abyss, with music evolving in tempo and intensity as depth increases. The visual style is modern and not retro 8‑bit, and the audio must be original, human‑made, and tailored to evoke the sensations of dirt, stone, heat, ruins, and mounting pressure. AI‑generated audio and stock libraries are strictly prohibited. The ideal candidate will deliver a cohesive, engaging audio experience that enhances gameplay and supports the game’s light, casual puzzle tone.

Responsibilities

• Compose six seamless BGM loops (30–90 seconds each) for the title screen and five depth bands, each reflecting the mood and energy of its respective game stage.
• Design and produce 12 core sound effects for gameplay and UI, with the potential for 13 additional SFX covering mechanics such as digging, rockfalls, breaking, blasts, prism finds, hardening, thawing, unlocking, and clearing.
• Ensure all audio is original, human‑made, and not sourced from AI or stock libraries.
• Deliver organized audio files in BGM and SFX folders, in MP3, OGG, or WAV format.
• Provide one revision round after initial delivery.
• Meet the delivery deadline by the second week of November.
• Collaborate using a provided playable web build and detailed ID list for SFX implementation.

Requirements

• Proven experience composing and designing sound for casual or puzzle games, with a portfolio demonstrating seamless looping BGM and polished SFX.
• Strong ability to create music that evolves in energy and mood, matching gameplay progression from curiosity to excitement and pressure.
• Skilled in producing clear, engaging audio that complements visual elements and gameplay without overpowering them.
• Proficiency with industry‑standard audio production tools and file formats (MP3, OGG, WAV).
• Ability to deliver high‑quality, original work within a 2–3 week timeline.
• Excellent communication skills and responsiveness to feedback.
• Must be available for one revision round and able to work remotely.
