Bfxr. Make sound effects for your games.

This is the most awesome thing I've seen here in a while. I'm in serious danger of blowing off the rest of my day to make a video game to stick these into.

It really opens some doors doesn't it :)

This looks like a great implementation of the sfxr tool that's been around for a long time. I've seen it in Flash and there's an EXE version too. This one has some nice new add-ons I haven't seen yet, and a GREAT interface.

If you REALLY want to go nuts, here is a massive list of indie game development tools that can keep you busy for a while:

If this is your idea of a great interface then you need help :-)

Seriously, as someone that works with sound and software synths a lot, it looks awful to me. What is it that you like about this?

I'm right ahead of you on that one

Related: http://thirdcog.eu/apps/cfxr (aka Cocoa sfxr) better UI than sfxr and bfxr, but simpler than bfxr.

SFXR and CFXR have been two of the most useful tools I've had while developing games. So simple yet so flexible. I really recommend them for any game developer.

SFXR/CFXR are so much fun to play with. I'm glad this dev listed them as inspiration.

Well... was there ever a shortage of 8-bit sounds you can put into your games? These creators have been around years, i remember fiddeling with one 10 years ago when i was playing with RPG Maker 2000...

A High Def Sound Creation Tool would be nice...

... like, say, any synthesizer?

For free, I suggest: Synth1 - www.kvraudio.com/get/214.html

You'll need a VST host, for which I suggest www.reaper.fm

ZynAddSubFX is a very nice sounding, open source synthesizer. The UI is a bit awkward, but it can make some very diverse sounds.

Those of you who are simply enjoying the bleeps and bloops should drop by a music store and buy yourselves a Monotron (or two!) for Christmas. $60 each and you can download the circuit diagrams from Korg, who has designed them to be hackable.

I just set up a cache of sounds to use in place of verbal responses today - mostly Coins, Lasers and Jumps. They just seem to say so many things better than I can. It has already gotten me into trouble. In other words, it's awesome. Thanks.

This has been around for a while, it's pretty cool nonetheless. I used it for sond effects on a pong game I made while learning C++.

On a side note that's the best way to learn to make games (or a new language for that matter), recreate old games from scratch. You'll also learn some trig and calculus while you're at it.

The one problem with the *fxr family is that it is a cliche already. It's like the official soundtrack to Ludum Dare...

Wow, that is just incredible.

Just randomly hitting a few of the buttons, it produced really excellent 2 x Atari 8-bit style explosions, and as near as damn it, a perfect Defender gunfire effect.

I haven't looked to see if it can do musical notes, but if it can, surely this would be excellent for chiptunes.

Wow cool! Reminds me of this standalone I used to use to make a ton of simple drum sounds and blips to put in trackers...

Have you seen Sunvox? Tracker/synth/sequencer all in one:

Lots of fun.

This is pretty awesome. I hit randomize and got this http://goo.gl/EuMtA , I can totally see it as a warp engine, or something like that. I'm going to play with it for a while...

Did same thing and got this: http://bit.ly/vjDZDG This is so awesome. Woah!

Really neat extension of sfxr, but man I wish there wasn't that inner scrollbar.

mrcharles15 anni fa

I am going to use the hell out of this site.

I kept hitting randomize and got this: http://t.co/Av3WNjzB

Now I want to make a game around it.

Interesting. By the way, no need for URL shorteners: http://www.bfxr.net/?s=4%2C0.5%2C0.7518%2C0.0237%2C0.1582%2C...

(People avoid URL shorteners here. Keeps the Rick Rolling low.)

Wait what just in time for Ludum Dare 22?

Sweet!

I've been finding the LD entry posts all quite interesting; they often have stuff (like bfxr) that I didn't know about, or at least, didn't know was that popular:

Whoo! They finally added history so you can keep track of a few sfx that interest you, very cool. :)

Truly awesome, but could need some interface improvements.
