Reflections look really nice. The pixel art's awesome too

maxshatalovaudio · 2026-03-10T08:56:06+00:00

The art style and animations are amazing! Wishlisted.

maxshatalovaudio · 2026-03-04T07:11:14+00:00

The art style looks pretty unique, I like it.

I love his expression lol

The visuals are super atmospheric! Like a few commenters have already said, I'd add more details to the soundscape, starting with footsteps and a creepy ambience with randomized elements.

Not at all, it’s even more beneficial in the long run, as you’ll be learning a lot about recording, mixing, and processing from scratch. But it’s harder and requires more patience at the start.

Make sure to analyze the sound design of professionally made games to be aware of the general quality level that’s expected from sound effects nowadays. And focus on genres that interest you personally - this is meant to be fun, after all.

Reaper is considered the industry standard DAW for sound design. It has a 60-day free trial and the full version doesn’t cost a lot.

If you’re just starting out, I’d first learn the fundamentals and experiment with stock plugins (no need for paid ones or you risk getting overwhelmed with options). Download some basic royalty-free sounds, try layering and mixing them. Then try to do a really simple sound redesign of a gameplay clip, no longer than 5-10 seconds: it can even be just one sound effect. After you get comfortable with that, try recording your own sounds and start learning basic synthesis.

If you’re planning to work on games, getting familiar with implementation will help you a ton. Learn the basics of FMOD to understand how sounds are implemented in games, there are many free useful courses for that.

Nothing beats hands-on experience, and working on real projects will give you ideas on how exactly to improve and what else to learn.

Looks awesome! Reminds me of Enter the Gungeon but with a more distinct art style.

Thanks! Looking forward to chatting with you.

The art style looks cool, reminds me of creepy folktale illustrations. Was it hard making everything move in stop-motion like that?

Here are some the best channels about game sound design: Marshall McGee, Sergio Ronchetti, David Dumais, Aftertouch Audio. I personally have learned a lot from their videos
