Sound Effect Recommendations
🕑 Added 2015-06-04 21:51:51 +0000 UTC Hello everyone!Still pluggin' away. Been drawing all day, which has been pretty awesome. Anyways, I'm making this post in hopes that a few of you might have some recommendations which might ultimately save me a good amount of time. I'm looking for recommendations on a few sound effects to put in the game:
1. I've added a kind of "Chapter" title screen which pops up at the start of each chapter. The screen lists the chapter title (e.g. Prologue), the subtitle, and a character quote. Kind of like when hitting a new book chapter. Anyways, it is fine as is, but I thought it should probably have a little sound effect when the screen pops up, but have been unable to come up with one I like.
2. A good boob grab sound. In anime, it kind of makes a little "boop" type sound, but I'm having trouble locating one I like. Since there is plenty of comical boob grabbing, I'd like to have a sound effect.
3. Beyond sound effects, I'd like your guys opinion on the Battle Cut-ins. When monsters perform an "H" attack, and the cut-in appears (e.g. dress being pulled down), should I also have a short sound effect play? In this example, I'd think it would be like a clothing "swish" type sound effect. But, I'd need sound effects for other attacks as well (e.g. breast grope, nipple pinch, breast suckle, titfuck, etc.). What do you guys think?
4. A good level-up sound effect. Anything you've seen that you liked?
I'll end it there, but believe me, I'll have more. Sound effects/music is one of my weaker areas of development. So, I'm really hoping someone might have some good ideas. I will say, I commissioned two songs for the game so far, and I love them both. So, the next version will include "Aylia's theme" and "Rebirth." Fun, fun.
Oh, and if someone really is into sound effects or sound effect generation, send me a message. I might be able to offer some payment or compensation through game rewards (h-scene, etc.).
Thanks,

Awesome, thanks so much! You've been a great help InsaneBrain. Not sure if I adequately said it earlier, but thank you.

OK, have something for you, unfortunately you can't use any of these sounds but it might be a good place to find a sound you're looking for and link it back to us so we know what to keep an eye out for. www.kyutwo.com/site/index.php?page=downloads&type=misc&id=sound-effects%2Fanime-sound-effects I've been looking for the breast grope sound, if you've played Violated Heroine, I know the sound you want but can't find it! Well, after some digging I came across this. It's an 8 - 16bit sfx generator. You play with the sliders to come up with sounds, there are some presets on the left and you can keep clicking them for different examples. You can save the sounds and export in .WAV and it all runs in flash. <a href="http://save-point.org/thread-3551.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://save-point.org/thread-3551.html</a> Here is a download link from my Mega, in it I've included a boob grab style sound I've been playing with. You can load it up in the program and change it ect. <a href="https://mega.co.nz/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://mega.co.nz/</a>#!65ITFJLI!6-pYzH2STW-Ag0_CTK96JgKX1Hi3uXxF0SM8y7Vsomc Hope some of this helps a bit.

Agreed, I'm not sold on any type of voicing. As I said, if I did voicing, I would need to do it right, not just throw a few sound effects in. Right now, I don't think the benefit is worth the workload. My time would be much better spent adding more quests, more scenes, animation, etc.

Circle Gyu has lots of grabbing etc. Sfx like that will do ~

i prefer no female sound effects . Just simple grab sound like in most hrpgs .

Damn-it Pseudolurker! You're supposed to be the panacea for all my game-making problems!

Good point, I'm undecided on whether I want to put female voice effects in the game. I have a pretty large set of different one word female Japanese voice effects for things like attacking, defending, getting hurt, breast grab, etc. Right now though, I think I'm going to stick with just sound effects and see how I like it. Moving into voice effects requires a lot more effort, and I don't really like English voice effects that much. As for your suggestions, I appreciate them. They are kind of what I've been finding and a little too far on the cartoon side. The boing sounds I think would be a bit too distracting as boob bounce sounds or groping sounds. I have been looking at other h-games, which has been somewhat fruitful in that I've found a few sounds I like. If this game-making thing picks up steam, down the line I may try to form a small team with a programmer and sound manager as those are perhaps my weakest areas. It will be hard to let go of all the control of the project though :-)

Haha, that one is nice to look at! But, it's a bit too pornish for what I was thinking. Still, thanks for the suggestion, it actually sparked an idea.
Most anime boob grabs are accompanied by a girl's voice going "kyaa!" or "hanaste kudasai, senpai!" or whatnot. I think you'd have better luck trying to find a good boing-boing sfx from an h-game, or simply by looking at spring effects or jew harp sounds. The "Jump" effect from here might be useable (duplicated as need be). Its not too offensive to the ears and is not too long either: <a href="http://soundbible.com/tags-boing.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://soundbible.com/tags-boing.html</a> And here's a bunch of spring sounds. Something like "Comedy Spring, Twang or Pluck 006" might do it for big bouncy breasts falling out of a dress. Or it might be too much. Still there's food for thought: <a href="http://www.freesfx.co.uk/soundeffects/springs_bounces/?p=1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.freesfx.co.uk/soundeffects/springs_bounces/?p=1</a>

How about this one? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwiNZB0k_Ow" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwiNZB0k_Ow</a>
I'm tone deaf, and would be no help at all here. Alas.

Is that what makes those old school anime sound effect? Balloons? Hrmm, off to listen to balloon sounds.
YummyTiger Gaming
Agreed, bad sound effects are far worse than no sound. I honestly wish I was more musically inclined, as a good soundtrack can really push a game to even greater heights. But, I'll probably commission a few more songs as we go, and get some custom stuff in there. Once we start doing charged updates, I'll have some money I can throw into the production. That'll help too. But, rest assured, I won't be putting in half-assed sounds. I've put too much damn work into this to cut corners on something like that.
YummyTiger Gaming
For some reason, that made me laugh. I'm not planning on any voiced sounds, but the idea of clapping when you level was funny to me. Something like, "Good job!" *clap* *clap*. You're right though, it could start a discussion.
YummyTiger Gaming
Thanks for the links! The first guy's website is awesome. I'll be perusing that in-depth. Already downloaded the clothing sound effect. It will probably make it in the game, as it is one of the things I was looking for. Thanks!
If or when you look for scary music I would suggest looking at Portal 2 music has they use some good techno for scary sounds. But for the boob sound why not go classic and look up some balloon sound effects?
Hurr
I would certainly have a look at the cut-in sounds but I'd say no sound is probably still better than half-assed ones, so only put them in if you're really convinced they fit well. Sounds seem like a hard task nonetheless! Anyway, nice to see another update, cheers!

Well, Kevin Mcleaod over at Incomtech might have something you could either use, or just use as place holders until you find or commission something better.

Sound effects I think it's a good idea to have some sound effects during the cut ins, this might be a decent site to have a look through. <a href="http://www.freesfx.co.uk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.freesfx.co.uk</a> for clothes specifically <a href="http://www.freesfx.co.uk/sfx/clothing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.freesfx.co.uk/sfx/clothing</a> check out Clothing, Shirt, Cotton, Move Quietly - at the bottom of page 1

perhaps something along these lines for lvl up!? Well at least for some initial brainstorming :) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxtfFdabQkE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxtfFdabQkE</a>
