Good Indie Shooter Sounds

by Mitchell Vincent · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 11/12/2008 (8:11 pm) · 4 replies

I've taken a look at a lot of sound content packs for Torque but referring to experience has always served me right.

I'm writing a gallery shooter game (mouse controlled) and am looking for some standard gun sounds. Shots, bullet impact, etc. I've seen FX Pack #1 and SFX 484 Sound Effects Collection - I'd appreciate any pointers to other resources (commercial is fine, though I'm just an indie hobby gamer).

You know what they say - the Internet is a sea of information, all knee deep ;-)

Any pointers for good sites or good effects? I've done plenty of searches and come up with tens of thousands of results, sorting through them is going to take some time..

I bought some nice weapon sounds from www.sounddogs.com. Thier prices are indie friendly.

Also if you have the time (and inclination) you can create/modify custom sounds using software like Audacity, thus turning any basic "bang" into something more dramatic.
