SOUND

​

Some of the sounds I needed for my project included:

 

  • Footsteps

  • Lighter (opening and closing)

  • Monster Shriek

  • Title Sound

  • Dynamite Explosion

 

I went on to Freesound.org and found some sounds that best fit my game. 

 

For noises such as the monster shriek and title music, I mixed and edited multiple sounds that I had found on FreeSound in Bandlab. 

 

I also added more reverb to the footsteps to simulate the echo sound made in a cave.

These sounds were sourced from freesounds.com and edited in Bandlab to create the sounds that I wanted for my game.

Title Sounds
00:00 / 01:21
VHShumming
00:00 / 00:22
Cave Drips
00:00 / 00:16
Lighter
00:00 / 00:02
Explosion [END]
00:00 / 00:06
Footsteps
00:00 / 00:19

The monster sound was compiled and edited in Bandlab by layering the same sound with different sound fx onto it. This gave a really distorted, loud and incredibly uncomfortable listening experience

Monster Shriek
00:00 / 00:24
