Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 You may have noticed that the forum will make a noise whenever you get a notification/private message. We can make this noise whatever we want! Any thoughts/ideas? Or perhaps some magical 8-bit audio creator out there want to make a noise for us? EEEeeehhhh???

Skorp | 383 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Ah, so I wasn't imagining things. I seriously was like WTF was that and thought someone was watching me. Long story short, I received a spam email few days before involving "blackmail and bitcoins". Well for one, I'd be down to have a coin sound from Mario like when you grab a coin..or the sound when Link picks up an item over his head lol. Just to start things off. It would have to be a single/global sound for all users right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yeah it's shared across users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaosu | 104 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Technically there's a plugin to allow each user to set their own custom sound, but it's $12 . Easier and cheaper to just have a global sound. Edited October 25, 2019 by Vaosu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yeah, I'd like to control it tbh. Make it feel like "the sage" and less like "my phone". Best situation in my mind honestly is if we can get some original sound made by a member of the community. Something... Sagely... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox | 1,667 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Maybe some kind of atonal "cast a spell" sound effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,096 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The sound when you die in Mega Man as you read that you heard it in your head cause we have all died plenty in Mega Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Honestly I'm perfectly fine with the default sound, although I know I'm probably in the minority there. If we were to change it, I'd probably want it to be something subtle that wouldn't be too long. Like the rupee collected sound from most Zelda games, or the coin sound from Mario games. While I don't dislike the idea of something like the item fanfare from the Zelda games, I feel like that'd be a little overly long for a notification sound, I feel like it should be very short, and perhaps somewhat neutral. A fanfare of some kind feels like it would be a bit... overly celebratory for a simple notification. But I'm just spitballing here, those are just my two cents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something short and sweet. I vote for the Mario coin sound. Of course, I already turned of the sound, but I'd put it back on to hear a different notification. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m308gunner | 352 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Mario coin sound or link opening chest would be great. Or Gannons laugh from Adventure of Link game over screen. Any chance we'd be able to get seasonal sounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link | 2,709 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Something one note. LoZ treasure chest or Megaman death are too long. Keep in mind this is something you might hear over and over again when there’s a couple of hot threads going on. I agree something like a Mario coin, Zelda rupee, or Metroid (or Megaman) gunshot.

I’m not a chiptune composer like some people here, but I might be able to come up w/ something when I’m home. Yeah, I agree with that, and that was the main point I was trying to get across. Something one-note and really short considering you'd hear it a ton of times if you kept the sound on. If someone can come up with an original sound that is similar to the rupee or coin sounds, we'd probably have a winner. I just don't think something longer like a fanfare would be a particularly great idea given the frequency at which you'd hear it. Hypothetically if there was a sound for like a transaction completing or something like that, something you'd hear less often, then a fanfare would be appropriate, but not for just a regular notification.

It's not too sharp and jarring like 2 and 4. It's just distinctive enough to be attention-grabbing, but not ear-piercing and annoying. I think out of these contenders, 3 would probably be the best for a notification sound in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
