[Paid on Funding or EA] Music Composer - Sound Designer / Third Person Dark Fantasy RPG, demo almost finished

Hi,

I am a general artist with more than 15 years of game industry experience. I am currently looking for a Music Composer / Sound Artist to work with us on a game demo that is almost finished. I been working for almost 3 years together with the C++ Programmer (10+ years experience) and Writer (+8 years experience) inside Unreal Engine 5 (without any budget), almost everything that is done to complete the full game is pretty much complete as game mechanic.

A bit about myself and my experience:

Unreal Engine known in past as Unreal Ed (1998 - Present)

3D Artist (2005-Present)

Old Portfolio: ArtStation - Vlad Yoshida

Some of the companies I did worked for in the past before leaving all behind to work as a full time game developer: SEGA, CAPCOM, BANDAI, Tango Gameworks. Companies I worked as an employee: Ubisoft, Gameloft, AMC, Agni Flare.

Most recent project I worked on and finished using UDK:

Due to some of the big publishers interested in the project we cannot share to much information about the work we want you in, except this:

Payment?
You will be paid based on per minute/per song as soon the demo will be finished and distributed to publishers or Steam Early Access. Not early then that. Means you will work with us unpaid until the project gets funded or goes Early Access, this is not our first project, clear payment will be made.

Please state your rates for both Music Composing / SFX in your application.

If you are looking for clear upfront payment then we hope you will work with us after the demo is finished, or for new applicants if the position will still be opened.

When demo will be finished?
First Quarter of 2026

If you are interested to work with us please send your application along with your per minute/per song rates at: jobs@tendogames.com (or can send me a PM).

Thank you everyone for all your interest. Since most of applications do not mention if can do Music or Sound or both, updated this post accordingly.

If your experience is only Sound Design or Music Composer please mention it in your form.

Hi, I create high quality music and sound design for dark fantasy games and I can match the tone and intensity of the references you shared Norse, epic themes, boss battles, and atmospheric SFX.

I specialize in immersive combat audio cinematic scoring, and detailed environmental sound design.

I can deliver polished consistent audio for your demo with fast turnaround and professional mixing.

Would you like me to start by recreating a short test piece inspired by the references you provided?
