Hi!

My name is Victor Boucher.

I’m a composer and guitarist who’s been writing and producing emotional instrumental music for a few years.

I’m new to the game development space, but I feel my style could fit narrative driven or atmospheric indie games really well. especially exploration moments, quiet scenes, reflective storytelling, or subtle emotional tension.

If anyone is working on something and needs music or just wants to explore ideas, I’d love to connect.

You can find some of my released music under my name, Victor Boucher, on streaming platforms and I can also send specific tracks privately.

Thanks :)

I have a project that could use a nice atmospheric loop. My main concern with loops is they get old really fast. It is rare that a game music loop stays interesting.

I currently have music from AI to fill the space and would love to change it.

I wish I could offer more than your name and contact in game.

Have a look and see what you think. The music in the vid is the current game music.

Thanks for sharing the project. I checked it out.

Before I start sketching ideas, would you prefer something more simple and slow/ambient so it stays subtle over long sessions, or something more upbeat like the current AI version?

I’m happy to tailor it to whatever vibe you feel fits the game best.

I was thinking of a bit slower. The game is pretty cozy with the announcer off.
I planned for the music to be one mode, cozy, and with the announcer, chaos... Either one at a time, not both together.

My greatest concern is a loop that gets boring and annoying really fast. A slow, cozy track is more likely to be "background noise" and shouldn't draw too much focus, playing into the need for non-fatiguing.

Sessions shouldn't take too much time (4 or 5 minutes) and in music mode, the Streamer will be talking over the music.
That sounds horrible... pushing your music into the background where it is nearly dismissed. Unfortunately, this is the reality of it. The music is filler more than gameplay or branding, so does need to be in the back. I hope you understand I am not minimizing these efforts and fully understand what is involved.

Looking forward to what you come up with.
p.s.
If you want to tackle any of the general game sounds, by all means, fill your boots. I am totally open to suggestions and external ideas.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. that helps a lot.

I completely understand the role of the music here. Cozy background that doesn’t fatigue actually requires more restraint, not less.

I’ll focus on something subtle, slow, and non-intrusive that can sit comfortably behind gameplay or dialogue without drawing too much attention.

I may also experiment with a few small ambient game sound touches if inspiration hits.

I’ll send you a draft soon :)

Hey,

Just wanted to quickly check that the music sketches I sent to your email a couple of days ago came through okay . No rush at all. Whenever you have time to listen, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Best,
Victor
