Immersive Ship SFX (WIP)
You're on a Company-issued automated interplanetary cargo lander. It should sound like one.
Ever felt that the Autopilot Ship's sound effects (and some others relating to it) were "lacking" something?
This is my attempt at making it feel more immersive and grounded, whilst staying true to the original style of Lethal Company.
Please Note: This is a Work-In-Progress release so I can test it with other players. Some sounds are subject-to-change, and some may be added/removed throughout development.
List of Changed Sounds (Expand me!)
- CupboardClose/-Open ⇒ Improved sounds for the red metal cabinet.
- DeadlineAlarm ⇒ Industrial alarm with an "Airlock Cycling" voice alert, to justify the method by which the company "replaces" you.
- FiredVoiceline ⇒ Cut off the initial part about not meeting profit quota, to line up with the voiceline from above.
- ShipAmbianceLightSqueak ⇒ Replaced with various creaks and groans.
- ShipAmbianceTurbulence1 ⇒ Replaced with a normal "turbulence" sound.
- ShipFlyToPlanet ⇒ Flying to another planet sounds like an actual maneuvering thruster burn now.
- ShipThrusterAmbiance & ShipThrusterClose ⇒ The ship & delivery rocket thrusters now sound like an actual rocket engine.
- StartGameLever ⇒ The Brake Lever Sounds like a proper throttle lever now.
- SuckedIntoSpace ⇒ Sounds like actual air purge now.
Why did I make this?
I always thought that the Autopilot Ship's sound effects were a bit "weak".
Sure, there is LethalResonance/LETHALRESONANCE - which, credit to that team, is a fantastic complete sound overhaul. I personally just feel that it focuses too much on the "horror" aspect and has a bit too much change from what makes Lethal Company, well, Lethal Company. And setting up the config for excluding half the sounds is a hassle. Still, LR was a major inspiration, and some of the sounds in this pack do come from it.
Then there is Ghostly2243/ShipAmbientSoundsRevamped/ - a great mod, but which has some sounds that are far too loud and obnoxious (such as "jumpscare"-volume steam pipe sounds). Again, a major inspiration, and the source of some of the creaking noises.
Anyhow, given my prior experience making GlockInMyJester using the CustomSounds Framework, I figured: why not make my own immersive ship sound mod and address the issues myself?
After all, I've played enough similar games to know what things should sound like. So here we are - though keep in mind, I chose/made the sounds based on personal preference.
Ideas for Future Content:
The mod, as it stands, is a work-in-progress.
No idea if I'll get around to making them, but here is some stuff that might get added in the future:
- Various company "propaganda" voicelines? (assuming I can replicate the original voice/filter)
- Various flavour text notifications/alarms?
- Example: "incoming meteorite" alarm & associated impact sounds?
