Hey there, Michel!

First off, thanks for coming to our community for help; I'm sure you'll find lots of eager talent around here waiting for an opportunity just like this.

In case no one else does though, I feel I should ask you some further questions about the project so I'll just list off the first things that come to mind:

-First off, what exactly is it? The screenshot seems to suggest a Neverwinter Nights-style RPG of some sort.
-If so, is it going to be PC-only?
-Are you planning to release it commercially?
-Along that line of thinking, what kind of compensation should a composer expect? Is this a charity project or will you be paying?
-How much music are you expecting and what kind?
-If it's fully orchestrated material, what kind of realism and sound quality are you expecting? You've asked for examples of anything in any format, but I'm hoping you're not quite that vague about what you want for the actual game.
-You started the project 2 years ago and you've shown us a single screenshot so far; what kind of progress has been made and what kind of schedule are you working towards: are you planning to release any time soon?

Anyway, that's enough for now but you get the idea of the kind of information a prospective composer will be interested in. I'm certain you'll find someone to help you, but it would be in your best interest to answer some of these questions.

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in continuing with your project!
