ZOMBIES!!!

Post by metal_head » Mon Jun 23, 2008 10:03 pm

This is a question mainly for Zidane,because this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIEXlLeH ... re=related is from his game,but any other help will be appreciated as well of course :D.
I was making a level with zombies too,when I saw that video I loved the zombie sounds,so I'm asking where can I find sounds that sound like them (they sound so brutal and scary)

Oh,yeah!
Zidane,where did you get that background music?Did you make it yourself or have downloaded it from somewhere.And if you have downloaded it was it a free license track cause it sounds so cool.I've payed a musician for my game,but he is working too slow and I really want to speed up things by downloading tracks which are free to use,but so far I've found nothing

Hello metal_head. Well, i use soundstrack of comercial game. In the web http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/view-all you find a big compilation of game's soundstracks.
The zombi sounds are extracted from originals games (painkiller in this case).

Ripping from other games sounds cool,but I want my game to be as much legal as possible :D
Any other ideas where can I get zombie sounds which are free to use?

Is very easy, i fy ou edit the sounds (never use the original screams of the zombis), then is legal, because the sounds are of your porperty

No, it's still not legal :!:
If you edit something that you didn't create yourself it doesn't mean you have all rights on it. This goes for all media - and it does not matter how much you edit it.

But in Spain, you can make a compilation of sounds of other artist, then the compilation is legal and is of your own propierty

But you need permission from the copyright holder to edit the original work in the first place. I'm no lawyer but I can't imagine that this is different in Spanish law.

European law requires permission from the copyright holder. Spain is covered by EU law as it is a member.

Metal_head, download Audacity, get yourself a cheap microphone and record yourself moaning. Slow it down a bit and you have a zombie sound. It's that simple.
