| Does anyone know the best places to get half sound effects collections, sprites and tiles etc legally with royalty free distribution? I see plenty of £3 - £10 sets on ebay, I used a site called a1 free sound effects before, but the site is gone, I don't want to spend loads if at all possible, IIRC the a1 free sounds collection was around £25. I'm not too fussed if it's a physical CD/DVD or download. - Anthony |

| My signature has sprites that I created a while ago...mainly fantasy character sprites. you may need a convertor to convert from tga to png though... edit - bizarre - I haven't checked that webspace for a long time but it seems to be offline? oh well... |
| ||
| what kind of sound do you need ? i am doing them by my own (record, process, synthesis, produce) check some of my samples here (very low quality though) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSk4izaYGPk or here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6bZpHBObU0 |

| Thanks very much everyone that's responded, there's some great resources there. I'm mostly seeking arcade sounds / puzzle whooshes dings and so forth. I particularly like the online sound generator. are there any good sprite editors that can do animation at a reasonable cost? What do you guys use? - Anthony |

| Cosmigo pro motion 6 is very good |
| ||
| For character animations poser is good for exporting images which can be joined together as sprites...not sure if that's what you're after though. |

| I prefer to use Paint Shop Pro 9.0 over anything else. But this particular version was before Corel bought out Jasc so i'm not sure what the licensing is for it anymore. However, there are few other simple spriting tools to check out : Pro Motion (Windows, $78) - http://www.cosmigo.com/promotion/ GraphicsGale (Windows, $20) - http://www.humanbalance.net/gale/us/ Pixen (Mac, free) - https://github.com/philippec/Pixen Allegro Sprite Editor (Windows, Mac, free) - http://www.aseprite.org/ |
