[casual_games] Cheap sound effects

[Jay Adan]

I have a guy that we work with here locally that's fantastic and not
expensive - Darren Blondin. I worked with him while I was at Cyberlore and
was always impressed with his talent. He recently did all of the sound for
our Tigris & Euphrates game and is working on a sound library for us. Give
him a chance to quote you a price before you buy a sound library that will
not enhance your game at all.

I'm sure someone will mention this as well; if you
have a small budget for sound, the best option isn't
to hire someone, but to outsource it to a professional
sound studio. 

It actually works out pretty okay cost-wise, and you
can get really amazing quality, with little management
overhead. 

We use Somatone [www.somatone.com] ourselves (I think
Kane is lurking somewhere on the mailing list), and
they've been an absolute joy to work with. They've
also done a lot of the sounds for Playfirst, BFG and
Popcap, so you know you're in good hands!
