   Looking for developer for indie band/gaming collab
  Hey what's up everyone-This is Evan from Tribunal Records prog-metal band, Last Chance to Reason. We're currently seeking an experienced indie developer that would be interested in developing an action game based in a dark, HR Giger meets Tron universe. The concept of the game and general design will be a collaborative effort between myself and the developer. I'm open to anything from a Robotron-style shooter, to a full on non-linear action platformer in the vein of Cave Story or Metroid. Our music is often described as 'videogame-like' so it seems a natural progression to actually develop a game hand in hand with our next release. The concept, story and art direction of the game will go hand in hand with the lyrics, soundscapes, and art direction of the album. The idea is that both go so hand-in-hand that everyone who buys the album will want to play the game and vice-versa.  LCTR will be solely responsible for the music in the game and take-large part in the sound design in general. This music would not simply be looped versions of songs on our album, but will be specifically created for the game using select themes, riffs and ambient textures from our work. The perk to you, the developer, is that your game will be included with our forthcoming album, and thus, receive major distribution. Our current album "Lvl.1" is available through any retailer that carries Lumerjack Mordam group distributed titles. These retailers include Amazon.com, Circuit City, FYE and many more. With that said, we’d like to keep the game freeware so it could receive as large a userbase as possible. We plan to include a game with each album released over time, so this developer could essentially become a 6th member of our band. Our next album is tentatively scheduled to be recorded in May and released in September, however this may be pushed back. I’d estimate that you’d have 5-12 months to complete development on the title. At the moment this should be looked at as a strictly interesting creative opportunity and a unique way to get your games out to a broader audience. LCTR is about as independent of a band as they come, we just happen to have been lucky enough to gain some means of distribution!

  Sounds interesting, don't think any other band has tried to put an actual game out with a release.  Are you planning on having a two disc set?Five months might be kind of short if you want a game with any depth.   ;  5 months is the absolute minimum amount of time i could imagine the developer having. That would basically have the game complete at the same time the actual album is being recorded. A 2-disc set is a possibility if things get ambitious, but we were thinking of making the game small enough so it could fit on the disc with music.
