Mastering for Video Game Soundtracks

[Seafroggys]

So I have been considering writing and recording some music for a computer game.

Does anybody have any idea if there is a mastering standard or average for this? I'm planning on writing some prog rock stuff. Or is it just a matter of what sounds good?

It would be entirely up to the client (video game company in this case). When in doubt, more headroom. You can always crush - You can never un-crush.
