Hi I'm Neha, a freelance composer/sound designer! I also have a newsletter on indie game freelancing 📝 ✨Currently available for work✨ Credits include: Venba,Eternights, Slay the Spire(trailer sfx), All Will Rise, Thousand Hells and more! More Info: nehapatelaudio.com

Friendly reminder not to sleep on your Steam OST sales Freelance composers better be negotiating to keep it, DO NOT settle with just streaming service royalties. You earn AT LEAST 100x more from Steam sales than from a broken streaming industry It also aint hard to calculate:

Some reasons to let of of Steam OST: -Im an employee -Buyout ($$$) -Rev Share - Other form of bonuses negotiated in contract It is NOT 'a lot of work for the studio/publisher'. If they're calculating their game revenue, then it's the same math. Too many UwU studios ripping of composers.

Someone explain to me why the person who defrauded a bunch of musicians is giving talks on music royalties??? Said person owed dozens (hundreds??) of people THOUSANDS of dollars. Life changing amounts for solo musicians out there. Do these conferences have no standards?? WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN

How little do you have going on in your life that you have time to respond like this HOW EMPTY IS YOUR LIFE!? Go touch grass, spend time with family and friends or is your surrounding just that shallow!?!? Billionaires got no real community and finding validation fighting online

I’m super passionate about translating between Publishers and Game Devs - so I’m hosting a Publisher / Investor Fireside chat. What are some “I wish I could ask” a publisher / investor questions you have?

Im absolutely mesmerize by the art of this game, i mean just look at that thumbnail!! And well narrative card battles are my jam so instant wishlist

store.steampowered.comAppa on SteamAppa is a surreal narrative-driven card battler about two siblings dealing with the death of their father. Predict, counter, and outmaneuver manifestations of grief while uncovering a heartfelt story ...

It's not over til the people stop fighting. Kuyili and her team are prepared to fight as long as it takes, incensed by seeing the people of Muziris robbed of their resources and beloved river. Join them in the fight. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Learning about anxiety is wild: What do u mean pessimism, my strongest trait that gets me thru it all, is altering my brain chemistry and neurons in ways that make me UNDERPERFORM? And apparently always being hard on myself ISNT SERVING!? CATASTROPHIZING IS ME LIVING! cortex and amygdala u siick

yes i have acknowledged that my anxiety has gotten absolutely out of hands and uh im on a low key bender trying to fix my body cuz i can just feeeeeeeeel my nervous system frying up. (yes im working with professionals, i will be fine, i got this, LOOK AT MY POSITIVE SELF TALK).

so it turns out my math here was a bit sloppy, but NOW i am roughly five months away from the end of my contract in late January! do YOU need a sound designer / game audio generalist on your team in late January? if so, let's chat!

Emily "Eeek!" Meo@emilyemeo.bsky.social

i'll be back on the job market after my contract with EA ends in exactly five months! do YOU need to hire a sound designer and/or implementer and/or composer in five months? if so, let's talk about it.

Lord grant me the power to have faith in using musical samples and loops. It does not diminish my worth as a composer nor marks me as sinful Many of my esteemed and blessed colleagues do so as well It's okay 🙏

New local family owned café opened up, enjoyed going there until they recently incorporated a ton of GenAI But they have their kid serving up silverware which gives it points 🥺 But so much genAI Sigh what a dilemma. I'll still support it but just gimme shitty pictures, i miss those
