Well. I am back. Sorry for the long absence. What would you like to hear some samples of? I can record you anything from ambient sounds in my backyard to some sword fight or random Foley work. If you like, I can make a huge .zip file of little sfx like footsteps, or metal, stone, or wood impact noises.

Pureon: I will get to you ASAP, I'll shoot you some samples this evening. Sighvatr: Thanks. There's been some personal family issues recently. Sorry for the wait

Yea! It really adds a whole new level of immersion, doesn't it? I figure I can get some friends and family over to record the yelling, and I got a whole bunch of items to use for the weaponry.

Thanks! I was thinking maybe some more variation to the unit voices, to add more depth, or possibly a feature where when a large group of units are in combat there can be a "crowd combat" type noise, because, in my opinion, when there are large melees, everything sounds flat. Some sort of ambient yelling, grunts of pain and sword clashing sfx could make the big fights more interesting. I understand that it'd need to have a script written for it, which I could probably handle, I've done stuff like this before in old CnC games before. Skip to 2:00, I want it to sound something like this; That really chaotic sound of yelling and weapons.

Great!

Age: 17 Occupation: I am currently a student at Dearborn Heights Virtual Academy (which helps with availability)and work at JR Express as a Driver's Assistant. Skills and Experience: I have always been interested in audio producing, everything from recording the wind blowing through trees to my own music, I feel that sound can really change the mood of a videogame. I have a professional quality recording studio in my basement, with high fidelity microphones used to record vocals and musical instruments, but I would have no problem using it to record anything needed. I also have some experience in scripting levels in some games such as ArmA II and Men of War, even though it isn't really my forte. I am also currently taking Game Design courses in my Academy. Motivation: I have been following 0 A.D. for some time now, and I feel that it is my time to contribute to the project. Personality: A creative mind that enjoys music, history, and gaming. Short Essay: I discovered Wildfire Games whilst searching for Open Source strategy games about three years ago, and was quickly drawn to their projects. There are many reasons I want to be part of the project, but the biggest one is because I want to use my skills to help make 0 A.D. even more immersive. I seek to gain experience in game development and make new friends. Interests and Hobbies: I am an avid runner, I run two miles a day. I am also a bookworm and history nut, The book I am currently reading is "Infantry Attacks" by Field Marshall Erwin Rommel. My favorite fields of historical studies include 18th Century politics and the Second World War.
