Sounds for game currently in dev
Hello list
I am in need of a person to record a number of sounds for
inclusion in a game.
The games i code are aimed at the blind / vi community and as such sound is very
importan as it fills in the gap where visuals are normally used to add meaning to
a game.
Most of the sounds i will need for this project are
cooking based.
for example
frying egggs on a hot plate
moving fried food around on a hot plate.
sounds of other cooking utensils and gadgets will also be needed.
Payments will be discussed and will be based on sales of the app
Anyone preferably UK so that language and time zones do not become a problem.
Thanks
Hi Yeehawskippy !
Maybe try this :

And please don’t hesitate to update us about your game, as some users (like me) are blind here !
Wishing you all the best !

Happy to put some sounds together -- do you have a complete list of all the sounds you need for the project?
I have a number of sounds (which I have released to Public Domain) which might work for this.
"frying egggs on a hot plate" - https://freesound.org/people/strangehorizon/sounds/661079/ may work, although they'd need to be frying quite a few eggs (or frying them in a lot of butter/oil) for there to be this much sizzle. You might also have to overlay some hissing type noises to extract the maximum realism from this one, or else use it when the fryer appliance is some distance away from the player.
"moving fried food around on a hot plate" - you mean pushing/scraping it around with a spatula so it doesn't burn, serving it onto a plate, etc?
"sounds of other cooking utensils and gadgets will also be needed"
My pack "Tools, Weapons, & Household Objects" has a lot of metal clanging and scraping sounds which may be useful.

These sounds are all free to use! Hope they're helpful.
Let me know if you got the sounds you needed -- I could record some samples for you if you still need.

It really sounds like You'd need two people: music desinger/author and SFX designer/author. Please mind that it doesn't mean letting go of much, if any, creative control over the project!
A single person, recording at the single place with a single big set of utensils at a single time will really make it sound like a single place. It will also almost definitely resolve problems like compatibility of sounds. Should also allow for a kusical inclusion of these utensils in music, A BIT like in Pink Guy's "Trap Dumplings".
You seem like a programmer who needs a musician to make this part of a game for You - and that's perfectly okay! The same way that You wouldn't want a graphic design done by a musician, don't be afraid to take a musician. It will serve Your game immensely!
Also, adaptive music is something that could really 'sell' such a game! If You haven't yet worked out all ideas, message me here or anywhere You find me.
el_boss , strangehorizon - I'm not exactly counting You two out of this!
I always check if the poster goes silent before doing recording ^__^
Yeah, a lot of them never come back, and I don't know why. I still do the recordings for variety's sake. Someone will need them someday.
