video game soundtrack - do we need a contract? Hi,
We're currently involved in music production for two seperate video games.
Both are small scale, independent (i.e. hobby) developers and there aren't any distribution or publishing deals in place at present.
We're an unsigned partnership making music in our spare time.
Would it be best to draw up some kind of written contract incase the game is ever released?
What would be the first steps to make this happen? Free websites / lawyers?
Is it normal to work for no upfront fee (i.e. just possible royalties)?
What percentage of royalties for a soundtrack might be acceptable?
Any advice would be much appreciated!!
Cheers |
