SFXR - Random Sound Effect Generator

May 17th, 2010

A few months ago, I was watching the Pixel Boarder credits (very cool, addicting Xbox Live Indie Game. only $3!) and one of the tools mentioned was SFXR. I had never heard of it before so I decided to look it up. I was impressed with what I found - a random sound effect generator. Apparently the tool has been around for a while and is fairly popular in the indie community. Seems like it would be great for a game jam or for creating placeholder effects. Check it out:

Also, check out Pixel Boarder if you haven't already. Keep in mind that even though the controls are simple, they take some time to get used to. Once you do, it's a ton of fun.
