Indie devs will often use SFXR (or it's forks) to generate chiptune sound effects for their games. It's great for everything percussive, but if you want something more tonal, melodic, or softer, I would actually suggest Furnace Tracker. The default chip (Sega Genesis) has perfect capabilities for generating chords, tones, and much more.

There's also a ton of other chips are available if you want, there's an entire category comprised almost completely of Yamaha FM chips, as well as sample/wavetable chips like the SNES/Amiga, synth chips like the C64 SID, and others like the NES (we don't talk about Pong).

If you know how to make an instrument and you know how to make a chord, you can make any melodic sound effect you want. I'm using it to make 'uncover' sound effects for my Easter-themed automation game, and they sound fantastic.

Made some more progress on my game for the Let’s Create Jam. Made quite a few changes since my last post, starting to feel much for like a game now!

There is now a visual representation of players health and tiles are able to increase and decrease it. More tile types have been added as well as tiles designs (these are just aesthetics).

The theme of the jam, ‘30 Second Quest’, is now incorporated and gives the player the feeling that they have to rush. Obstacles were introduced which require bombs to be destroyed. These obstacles if ignored can cause the game to end by being unable to move.

Junk Food Blaster is a game that I created for the GM48 23rd game jam.

Blast the junk food and keep your heart rate below 200! Walking and jumping will slowly raise your heart rate. Junk food will significantly raise heart rate!

Standing still will drop your heart rate back to normal.

Hot dogs move in a straight direction. Hamburgers float in the air.

I just stumbled on an awesome program that creates sound effects.

http://www.bfxr.net/

There's a version on that page that you can use in your browser, or a Windows/Mac version to download (found on the same page). There are some resources floating around the interwebz to help you figure it out, but honestly it's a pretty simple program. It can export to .wav so you can import it into programs like Unity3D and Audacity and have everything you need to give your games some personality.

Make free game sound effects!

Make 8 bit style sound effects for your games. Super easy with sliders and stuff. (FREE!)

No need to download you can play with it right in your browser. Check it out.

One thing is certain: the feeling of a game can not ignore the sound segment. The simple act of jumping or pick up an object have a completely different flavor with a good sound effect.

Or what about the music? A game situation immediately bought thicker with a soundtrack that can give rhythm and call the appropriate theme.

So, tired of test Covenge in total silence, I've spent the last few days to do a bit of sound effects suitable for the game.

I wanted to keep a retro feel to the sounds and the music, so I chose Bfxr and freesound.org for sound effects, and PxTone for the music.

Use Bfxr to produce the exact sound you have in mind is not easy but with a little patience and tweaking you can get good effects in 8-bit style. And with that sound that can not be maked with Bfxr there is freesounds.org (glory to him!) with tons of sounds and effects of all kinds (including farts),  all FREE, and Audacity did the rest.

For music is a different matter. As you can produce something just hacking on PxTone,

in order to create melodies and arrangements that make sense, I had to take up more than once the guitar to choose the right chords. My little musical experience surely helped me a lot.

But were not only days dedicated to the audio department.

I created a new arena that I simply called "Canyon" (Original huh? XD). Here...

Drawing pixel-art tiles for the rocks was not easy. The tricky part was creating a vary rocky pattern but tilde at the same time, and that's harder to do than other structures such as bricks.

Everything came out inspired by a lot of this kind of images (google.images i love you!)
