I have a friend who plays in a local band that is good enough to tour regularly (SXSW, etc). He is interested in composing music for games, such as background music on RPGs and Arcade Games. Is there a good website for him to do this on, or should he create his own site?
Feel free to ask your friend to ping me sidmitra.del [at] gmail.com
I'm actively looking for beta users.
A lot of people have also emailed me and want to get in touch with people with different skill sets(like design, music, animation etc).
I'm a bit weary of video game development marketplace websites, as there's a high noise level, but I've had good experiences with the game dev classifieds reddit.
A lot of posts there are for people looking to do contacts for custom work, but don't be put off by this. People there also respond positively to posts with links to premade work for sale.
He should make his own website regardless of whether there is another place he can contract his services out. Anyone interested will check for a website prior to committing contract work with him.
I would recommend gamedev classifieds that was pointed out earlier, good ol' craigslist, or Gamasutra's contractors section if he has some money to use to get his name out.
