My Nexiuz Sound FX

Here are a few of the sound effects I chose for the Nexiuz Project:








My minihealth sound is from the VideoBlocks website. I chose it because it sounds like a quick battery charge up. The sound is actually an alien sword.






My megahealth sound is from the VideoBlocks website. I like this one because it also has a charging battery kind of feel but, this one has a higher pitch than the minihealth sound effect.










My power up sound was a little tough. I settled on a gusty wind sound because its as close as I could get to the original.









My power down sound is a space ufo shutting down. I love it.

Music Selection for Nexiuz Project

The original soundtrack for the "brokenlight.ogg" in Nexiuz consisted of strong strings, guitar, an airy synth and a hip hop beat. It works well for the game because it creates a sense of urgency, high energy and is cohesive with the high-tech, space feel of the game.

I got my music from VideoBlocks. My choice has hard hitting bass, strings and a gradually rising techno-like beat. I think it works for the game because it sounds mysterious, has high tech "beep boop" sounds in the background and a gradually building beat.
