Good site, and highly useful methinks when the audio gamemaker comes out. Some of their selections were a bit odd though.
thinking rpg environments, i was looking for some wind sound effects. Searching under "wind" brought me lots of smashing window sounds, whilst searching under "weather" got some wonderful rain and thunder effects, but no wind. Also, when trying to find ambience for dungeon environments, the only entry it got me (when I searched under "Tunnels" was an underground train ;D. Though I would guess that a dungeon environment would be fairly easy to recreate using the audio game maker's own acoustics, and maybe some dripping water or burning torche effects for a bit of atmosphere. Hopefully though, once a community of audio game producers has built up, there will be a fair library of generic object sounds available to use. though I don't think it would be right to copy the sounds people create themselves, specifically for charactors or situations in their own games. so, taking sod as an example, sounds like the wind, step, and weapon firing sounds would probably be okay to copy, sinse they're fairly generic objects, but the monster sounds are unique to sod. If you coppied the mutant human sound into your own game, for all intents and purposes, your monsters are then Sod mutant humans, whatever you intend them to be. so if you used the mutant human sound for an ogre in a fantasy game, it wouldn't actually be an ogre, imho it'd be more like a sod mutant human pretending to be an ogre. it would be like cutting the sprites (graffic representations of charactors), out of one main stream game and coppying them into another, and in most cases this isn't exactly legal. Of course, if you were making a sod 2 or something like, you'd need the mutant human sound to represent mutant humans. but other than that, i really! don't think coppying the charactor sounds from other games is a good idea, even if it were legal.
