My first gig scoring a student game was $450 a minute + skill trade. The last few projects I've done/am doing (I normally price for full project instead of per minute) have averaged around $1000 per minute. It's so good that we're talking about this! #GameDevPaidMe #GameAudio

I'm freelance but last year I made 25k with 4 part time jobs This year I'm making about 50k in game audio. Thankfully I also live at home with my family which helps a lot and gave me more wiggle room to slowly phase out my other jobs #GameDevPaidMe

@GameAudioJourn I’ve been looking for a podcast to listen to as someone trying to get into game audio. Been loving the interviews so far thanks.
@GameAudioJourn I've only recently discovered this so have only listened to the first four eps so far, but loving it!! Extremely insightful and at times therapeutic - love how honest all the guests are. Keep up the great work, Tye!
Last week I found the @GameAudioJourn podcast and just finished listening to ep 1 feat @hay_felipay. Great insight into Felipe's journey - awesome advice from getting started to looking after your health and life! Thanks @TyeHastings and Felipe, looking forward to the next ep!
@GameAudioJourn Hey, I know you through this pic - very intuitive btw - great info! I’ll definitely give your podcast a listen!
Waking up to the notification of @TyeHastings accepting my LinkedIn connection has made my nerdy self very happy! I'm proper enjoying the @GameAudioJourn podcast at the moment. I would love to be featured on it one day 🎮🔊
Thanks so much to @TyeHastings for having me on the podcast! I've been inspired by this show many times before, so I hope this can do the same for others. And if at any point it sounds like I may know what I'm talking about...I don't. Happy listening!
