So I am now very privileged to have a couple of credits under my belt. Is there are set place that fellow composers list their works, thinking along the lines of IMDB for actors and such. Or is it more, I will put this on my website and socials.


Thanks in advance and happy weekend!

Yes, list your credits on your website. Maybe also on your resume.

Since when is a portfolio called credits? In my world, credits in the context of games is where you credit others for the work they contributed to the game.

I think the only one a person directly controls are their own websites and socials.

IMDB has a verification step, but if you've got credits listed in something they could be added. You can request it, but nothing is guaranteed.

What appears in the game is up to the contract you've got with the company. Game studios are often fiercely protective to make sure their names get listed, and it's generally in the contract terms negotiated with the lawyers.
