oh lawdy, this topic has created a spiral effect of discussion. I did not think it would spawn this much attention!
this is a really good thread... but on the subject of money - I'm still curious what a small indie project budgets for the music (or music/fx/voice etc - all encompassing?) I'm curious if you'd be willing to share the budget you have in mind - or if you could share the budget range of other game producers who are in your shoes (without naming them of course
)
