Composer — CHANCESS
Closed Probably closed: featured more than 45 days ago with no application deadline. Featured in #012 on 24 August 2026.
A chess-inspired turn-based roguelike with a public playable demo, a Steam page and a trailer already up, wanting an adaptive score that moves through neutral, tension, powerful-enemy and boss states as layered versions of one recognisable theme. The brief describes the target as Balatro's soundtrack played in a medieval tavern, with Celeste as a second reference and a palette of lute, harpsichord and medieval percussion set against synths and chiptune. The developer is commissioning as an individual and says there is no AAA-sized music budget, but the first commitment is a paid theme prototype rather than the whole soundtrack, and students and newer composers are explicitly welcome.
