I'll consider how to rephrase the sentence to add clarity. I'd been considering adding a few more sounds to the pack so this might be a good time for an update!

Thanks for taking the time to write an overview/review and provide feedback, I genuinely appreciate it! It's good, actionable feedback, giving me something concrete to work towards.
Different 'brightness' of sounds is one area I'd like to expand upon, though for now they do lean a little brighter like you say to provide the most flexibility. Heavy hammers would be a nice addition for sure! I'm hopeful I'll be able to source and record more material eventually, and for some suggestions I may not need new recordings at all – in the meantime though I hope the library still proves quite useful (and fun to use!) for bread and butter slashy sounds.
You're right, there aren't any sounds where the disk reader is powered on and loading disk content – the disk drive was an old Amiga device that pre-dates USB so I wasn't able to plug it in and power it up. This is a good suggestion though. I do have hard disk reading sounds in the Future UI library but the character would probably be a little different.
Can't believe it's been 3 years already! It's been a pretty disrupted few years, so progress on other libraries has definitely been slower than I'd anticipated. The melee pack is further along than bow & arrow – I'd love to release both eventually. I've been considering doing smaller pre-release versions of libraries at a discount so people could access assets sooner, with additional content added as free updates. This'd help me gauge interest in different libraries and help support further development, but there may be downsides to going about it this way – I'll have to have a think!
Congrats on releasing your game! I like how you've implemented the interface sounds in it :) The title and transition effects are cool, too.
To answer your question – the free sounds pack contains a small selection of sounds (about 150) from a series of larger sound libraries (over 4,000 sounds total so far)
The itch.io license is the same as the one covering products on the Shapeforms site, see the license info on the FAQ page.
The Unity Asset store version is covered by Unity's own license, but I believe it's fairly similar.
Thanks, glad you like them!
That's a good question, and something I hadn't considered earlier. I'd say it would fall under redistribution unfortunately. There may be a solution though, if not being able to include them in the repo proves an issue – feel free to get in touch through hello at shapeforms.com and I'd be happy to discuss.
Hey everyone, after starting work on Future UI over a year ago, and after a pretty challenging 12 months of life getting in the way of progress, it's finally out!
The second in a series of Sci Fi sound libraries, I had a lot of fun exploring different techniques to create the library's 800+ sounds.
It's useful for essential interactions (buttons, navigation sounds, errors and alerts, etc) and building an atmosphere around them (spaceship and computer room ambiences, holographic effects, ominous alarms, data scramble and text animation loops and more!)
I wanted to provide a range of sounds from worn computer terminals (the sort of thing you might find in Blade Runner) to bright holographic chimes and all things between. I'm already pretty excited about designing new sounds for the first update.
I also enjoyed working up some fake UI visuals for the trailer, both to test and refine sounds from the library and to explore different UI styles – I'm considering developing a full range of UI art asset packs sometime in the future. Here are some loose style exploration mocks, some of which made it into the trailer!
Future UI is on intro sale until the end of August – hope you have fun with it if you decide to pick it up! I've also added a few sounds from the library to the free sound fx pack on my itch.io page.
All the best,
Rich, Shapeforms Audio
No worries, glad you found it useful! Geo Break is good fun, especially once you get into a flow – love the visual effects and bouncy animation in time with the music!
Thanks for thinking of getting the full SFX pack! The main difference between itch.io and my site at the moment is some assets are available in additional higher quality formats on my site (though they're mostly only valuable when pitching sounds down dramatically). The bundle on my site also includes Future UI when it's out, while the current itch.io sale bundle doesn't, but I will be releasing Future UI on itch.io, too! So future itch.io sale bundles will include it, and the price will likely be a little cheaper but I don't run sales as often. Hope that helps!
