Online game music

[dwixi]

I want to get into creating the music for online games... Is there anywhere i can list myself to get work going this?
Any forums for game developers it would be a good idea for me to join?

You might want to check out Game Audio Network Guild - HOME. If you're serious about making music for games, they're a great bunch to be amongst (lots of respected industry pros on the forums).

Other websites you should check are GameDev.net - all your game development needs and Gamasutra - The Art & Business of Making Games. There's also a large community of indie game developers over at Game Development Tools And Software :. GarageGames

Good luck!

Thanks! Spread the word!

Did you ever do music for games?

Nope.

Making music for games just isn't my cup of tea. It's very different from writing pop songs and performing those before an audience.

Yeah, i guess its differnt for me as the performance part isnt the most important thing to me. The important thing to me is getting into peoples heads feeding them with new emotions. And i'm really not bothered how i get that out there.

Well, you'll have to remember that music for games (and films too) isn't as much about getting into people's heads as it is about enhancing the mood of the game/film.
