Week 10 - Sound Brief and Contract

 


 

I've also put together a playlist of potentially helpful videos as well as songs from some of the benchmark games:

In terms of a music comission contract, I've found a template from Ukie, and had a look at a few other websites/ examples. I'll look into writing an NDA and collaboration contract soon
