Sources for free sound effects

I've looked around this board some, and noticed threads for sprites, music, backgrounds, text boxes, and UIs... but not a single thread for sound effects. Does everyone aside from me just automatically know where to get those? Well, assuming that's not the case, I thought it might be a good idea to ...

Re: Memento Karotte [GxB/G][Fantasy, Adventure, Mystery]

Ad my voice to those who thinks this looks really cool. I don't see animated backgrounds like that very often. The visuals and the premise give me something of a neat fairy tail vibe, which I like. Definitely looking forward to seeing more from this.

Re: Darling Shoujo Imoutohotep [BxG][Mystery][Mummies][WTF]

Oh, I completely misunderstood what you meant by the music, sorry. Yah. I haven't found songs I really like for a lot of the "Pharaoh walks around the palace talking to Nyanyanhotep" or "Pharaoh listens to a teacher" type of scenes. I'll probably still keep some brief periods wit...

Filtering Photos: A collection of tips, tricks, and methods

I notice that a lot of people here suggest that those who are in need of backgrounds, but lack the ability to draw them themselves, should consider the use of filtered photos. A lot of VNs have used them for some or all of their backgrounds, and with the right methods they can look quite nice. Well,...

Re: Darling Shoujo Imoutohotep [BxG][Mystery][Mummies][WTF]

Hmm. I thought about using some free drawn or rendered backgrounds instead of photos, but the issue I ran into there was I couldn't find any source that would be able to provide me with every background I'd need. So I'd end up using multiple sources with different styles and possibly have to supplem...

Re: Mira's Magical Mishap (GxG) (Fantasy)

This looks fun, and the artwork is very cute. I have to admit I have become something of a fan of yuri lately, so I am definitely looking forward to this. One thing: I noticed music is the only thing left before the game is finished, and in the thread for your last game you said you suck at making m...

Re: Halloween Otome [GxB][VN]Introducing Kippy*

Very nice, I love the design of Miss Archer, and the other characters are good too. (lol at Mr Bandages :D ) The GUI is pretty cool too, gives a nice feel to the game. I'll definitely be looking forward to playing the beta or demo around Halloween.

Re: Darling Shoujo Imoutohotep [BxG][Mystery][Mummies][WTF]

I decided to update this thread with some info on some of the specific types of feedback I'm hoping for. Obviously you don't have to give me feedback about all these things, or not give me feedback about things not mentioned. These are just some of the things I'm particularly interested in knowing, ...

Been seeing the "Honest Critique" button/link in a lot of signatures, decided to check it out and see what it was all about. After reading over the initial (though apparently much updated) post, I'm in.

Re: What dB should I normalize music to?

Yah, I noticed after I posted this how certain songs would sound much louder even when normalized to the same level. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks a ton for this link! Over 19 hours worth of music is insane, I've already used several of these tracks for my current vn project and I haven't come close to going through the whole batch yet. But posts like this should actually be in the Creative Commons board. More people looking for free mu...

Re: waver | alt. narrative

Very interesting stylistic choices you are going. I'd like to be able to offer more comment than "interesting", but when I try to imagine just how everything will fit together and work out in practice, I have a hard time. I can see it coming together really well and giving a unique feel to...

Re: Darling Shoujo Imoutohotep [BxG][Mystery][Mummies][WTF]

Though I wonder what stories did succeed in combining the two? The only example I can think of is Yo-Jin-Bo and though it's a good game the parody (I think it's easier with just humour but you have parody as well) and drama parts don't complement each other. Well, one recent example of a story I fe...

Re: Darling Shoujo Imoutohotep [BxG][Mystery][Mummies][WTF]

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the tonal clash, yah I can definitely see that. I wondered if that would be an issue. It does present a challenge for me though, because even as the game starts to get more serious, I still want there to be elements of lightheartedness and humor. I still want there...
