SOUND EFFECTS WANTED!
These are sound effects for a fan game called Elemdals! (No, we cannot steal the sounds from Spiral Knights. So. Don't. Even. Try.)

The goal of Elemedals is to create an interesting narrative that permanently captures the feel of Spiral Knights, even long after the servers close their doors. The Clockworks is full of interesting sounds, and they are a huge part of Cradle. What would a Gun Puppy be without his bark?

Your mission, if you choose to accept it:
I want YOU to create some sound effects for Elemedals! You could start with some recordings, dig through a few online soundbanks like this one, or even generate something!

Then crack open a sound-editing utility like Audacity and edit your sound until it sounds nice. Then export it as a .wav file and post it here! (Note: ogg files are also supported, but they are lossy. Only use them for very, very large files, because ogg compresses better. Details on sound formatting can be found here.)

But wait, there's a catch!
I'm looking for clear sounds that match the game's theme. I won't accept anything that sounds indecipherable, has too much background noise, or the like. I might accept poor-quality sounds, but only temporarily; I'll ask for sounds to replace the bad ones.

Good quality, of course, means without static/background noise and was well-recorded. (So...doesn't sound unreasonably echo-y.) Note that a little echo might be reasonable, due to the vast size of the Clockworks, but Audacity can add an echo effect. Also, things that happen a lot, like jumping, will use more than 1 sound effect! Whenever the player jumps, the engine can pick a random sound from the batch. The goal is to slay repetitiveness.

Your efforts won't go unrewarded!
If you make something that will be included in the game (read: not counting bad ones), you're name will also go in the credits. Those who make enough of a contribution can also make a guest appearance in the fan game!

See next post for a listing of currently requested sounds.
