It's a bit upsetting to do some soundtrack work when I'm isolated from the rest of the team, or even from info about the rest of the game. It feels too much like I'm "making music for" instead of "working on"
Of course I'll ask as many questions as I have to to make sure the music matches what the devs want, but when the dev tells and shows me more about what they're doing on the project, or allow me to see that on my own, not only it can eliminate a lot of the questions, but it can also give me inspiration I'd never have just following the content given to me on the request.
If I could make a request for every dev who'd want to work with me, it would be to please open up more about your games! Show screenshots, footage, any new assets, talk about how it is at the moment, how you want it to be, etc. anything counts! I love seeing the project grow bit by bit and it feels so much more like I'm contributing to its growth!
