With our short time, I've been getting most of our sounds from freesound.org and mixing a lot of them together to create new sounds that would work better with our game.
We also have outsourced some of our sound to a friend and fellow student of mine, Christian Merrill. He's pretty good with editing and creating sounds, and I'm glad to have some help with our game as I focus on both art and sound. I've been in contact with him to help get our game the sounds we want and need. However, some of the sounds he has given to the team do need some work and I have been working on editing what he's given us to get the sound I and the team want. It's a work in progress.
It's been kind of hard doing sounds, mostly for the fact that I can't get our Unity server at home and it's hard for me to listen to the sounds actually in game. It's one to edit the music and listen to it, it's another actually listening to it with visuals. Sadly, I'll have to make do and do my stuff quickly. We present our games tomorrow and Thursday is our open house. My team isn't too worried about sound effects at this time. It isn't our top priority. I...secretly make it my priority, though. It's too important to me. Next semester I hope to dedicate a lot of my time to it. I want people to enjoy our game, both visually and audio-wise.
I've been in contact with the sound designer, Nick LaMartina, at BioWare Mythic for a possible sound position there. I researched what they use and what the sound designer uses. I found on his LinkedIn page all sorts of programs he uses and have been downloaded a lot of them (at least the free ones or trials). I also saw that Mythic and a lot of other video game companies use Fmod or Wwise. I really want to implement Wwise into our game. So, I hope to read up and learn a bit about it for next semester. It'd be really great if I could put that under my skill set as well as see what it could do for our game!
