Transport the player to a haunting world with this immersive audio pack. Drawing inspiration from the iconic soundscapes of the Half-Life 2 series, this pack delivers an atmospheric experience that will engulf players in a world of tension and intrigue. From the distant echoes of the crumbling spaces to the unsettling hum of machinery, every sound is meticulously crafted to enhance immersion and evoke unique experiences. With dynamic audio cues that respond to player actions and environmental changes, players will feel like they're truly part of the world as they navigate through. Whether they're exploring abandoned buildings, engaging in intense firefights, or unraveling the mysteries, this asset pack ensures that every sound contributes to the immersive experience.
Developing a cool game is not all about a good storyline, great graphics or interesting game mechanics. Good audio is a major piece in delivering a truly exceptional experience.

Really great audio kit, I was a huge fan of Half Life 2 and loved the atmosphere of that game, the sound design of which was a really big part of it, and your pack really captures the same kind of vibe perfectly.
I wasn't a fan of the gun and explosion sounds but there are lots of other resources online to find those kinds of sounds, all the ambient music and general SFX included in the pack are excellent. Thanks for making this! ^_^
Thank you very much! Producing SFX for games is very new to me. I have some experience producing experimental music as a on and off hobby, but that's pretty much it. Some sounds can be very difficult to make, especially when you're trying to make those particular sounds for the first time. I imagine that the best way is just recording real gun sounds and explosions, but this would probably be not possible at this time, haha.
Big thanks to you for purchasing it!
Hi, is there any update coming to your assets? :)
Hi! Probably not for a while. I've been overworking myself for the last 7 months on the the assets. I'm exhousted and have a serious burnout, need time off to rest my body and mind, haha
Thanks for the great kit, I've been using it in various projects, just finished up game jam entry with them: https://capt-magni.itch.io/rusting-steiners
Hi! Somehow I have missed your comment! Thank you even more! :)
I would love if you also did a course on music / sfx production :3
These sound incredible
Hi! I'm planning to! Thank you very much!
Hey Pizza, sorry for asking for more stuff again ahaha.
I was wondering if you could make soundtracks separated by low & high versions?
So I could do something like this
Also more on like the abstract side (idk music terms xd), but less drums and more like this(?)
That's a good reference! Okay!
Hey! That's fine, haha.
That's really cool, I'll do all tracks like that from now on!
Does this pack have gunfire sounds?
Hi!
No, but I can figure something out! I haven't done them from scratch before and have no way to record real guns, haha, but I think I can do it. I'll add them and probably some futuristic guns shooting sounds in the next update :)
Ok very cool, definitely considering getting this in that case 👌
Hi! I've added gun sound effects!
Cool! Could you add some samples on the page?
I'll add them today or tomorrow!
Thank you for the wonderful bundle!What I'm especially looking forward to is UI sounds.My favorites are gui_click_2, gui_submit_4 and 5, gui_switch_1.There are many audio materials in the world,but HL-style decadent, melancholy, restrained sci-fi ui sounds are rare,so I'd be really grateful if you could add more like this <3
Hi! I'll absolutely add more of them for the next update!
I absolutely love a lot of this stuff especially the ambient and actual soundtracks I'm definitely cooking up some ideas with this stuff thank you especially for the sale $49.00 is a bit too rich for my blood
Thank you very much! I'd love to see what you'll make with it!
The Mega Bundle was an Amazing Deal. Thank you!
Hi, ArmedAndHammered! Thank you for purchasing it!
I have a personal request if you can message me on discord, please.
I'm glad I bought it in the end. :) I would also appreciate something harder, more aggressive or something similar to the Fight track :)
Hi! Okay, I'll produce more tracks like that for the next update!
Nice! :)
amazing audio! may i ask the images u used for this asset is from where? is that assets you are working on
Hi! Thank you! I do not own any rights to the images or the Half-Life 2 trademark. The showcase images are from google images of Half-Life 2, haha
oh, do u plan on making assets that are outdoors
Yes, during the summer!
Did you create these yourself?
Hi! Yes, recorded and produced!
They are really very good quality. Great job!
Thank you! I hope overtime I'll be able to produce something to professional standards, haha
Your assets packs are awesome! Bought some for my next project, thanks for the great work! I wanted to ask, would be there any chance for you to add footstep sounds on metal in a future update? Like the sound feet make when walking on a spaceship, lab, etc.
Hi! Thank you! I've been looking for suitable indoor spaces that would have a metal flooring or something like that, and wouldn't have too much reverb, but unsuccessfuly. I'll try to improvise something and add it in the next update! Let me know if you have some thoughts of other stuff that I could add too!
Nice! Thanks for the reply and good news. I'll sure let you know if I have any new ideas for requests!
Thank you even more!
Hi. Does this pack have footsteps sound effects?
Hi! It does!
Sorry for the late response. Your comment was automatically labeled as spam and I wasn't notified about it.
Grate update
This is awesome. Really good to see the blossom of the audio community on itch.io :)
Can you also provide technical information for the files? Are they UCS compliant? What is the sample rate and bit depth?
Hi! Thank you! It's .mp3 | 320kbps | Stereo
I haven't heard of UCS before, read it just now, but I'm not sure about the UCS compliance and what it means exactly :)
UCS (Universal Category System) categorizes audio files with embedded descriptions, keywords, and other useful data for quick search on platforms like Soundminer, Basehead, Soundly, SoundQ, etc. It's a handy tool for sound designers to find specific sounds efficiently.
I suggest rendering your files in .WAV format for lossless compression. Aim for a sample rate of 48000 and a 24-bit depth, as it's the standard for CDs, games, movies, etc.
Attached is an image showcasing a tidy and organized UCS-compliant sound library, providing ample information for easy auditioning. If you need help or want to discuss audio geek stuff hit me up on Discord: heltonyan.
Thank you very much!
No problem :)
If possible, please check out my latest sound library!
Absolutely!
Hi, do you have previews of the footsteps, and a list of all the sfx included?
Hi! I'll add them into the page in the following days! :)
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Hi there! I have added them into the page!
hi, why did you start accepting payment by card, isn't it non-beneficial on ur end, i see it enabled , did u maybe leave it on by mistake or smth
Hi yotsimitsu! I felt bad for it being inconvenient to people. I switched it back
Add more soundracks pls
Hi again! I have finished two new soundtracks and working on another few :) I'm aiming to update this asset pack on the weekend!
thanks
Let me know if there's something else that you're looking for! Take care :)
Exceptional quality, This is going to really help a number of my projects. Thank you for your insanely good work!
Thank you even more! I'm trying to make something that would add as much value as possible to the indie game projects. Every game I play is on this platform and made by indie developers! You guys are inspiring me
That is amazing and greatly appreciate that you put the time and effort in to make these. My athletic is purely PSX era so your work is a perfect compliment to my love and style of game!
Best of everything to you!
this update is best!
Hi! Thank you Kodrin!
Hi Kodrin! You said you have sent me an email the other day, but I don't see it in my inbox :)
This audio pack is fantastic, excellent work!
I appreciate you! Have an amazing day!
Amazing update!!
Thank you very much! :) Please let me know if you need some other particular sounds recorded and added to this!
Half-Life 2 is my most beloved game and the audio of this asset pack brings back the nostalgia, as the audio tracks and sound effects sounds and feels exactly as Half-Life 2 audio. great work once again <3
This is an awesome pack! I love the soundscapes of HL2 and this really nails the essence. I'd love more subtle underground bunker soundscapes (similar to d15)!
Hi there! Thank you very much! I'm not familiar what d15 means :D By any chance you have an example that I could listen to? :)
The file named `ambience_d15_loop` in this pack haha
Haha! Okay!
Add door sounds please
That's an amazing idea! I'll record it and add it with the next update! :) Thank you!
Would it be possible to make some heavy door sounds too?
Hi!
This sound tricky, because I could not record it, as I don't have access to any heavy doors :) But I have some ideas, I will try to make something from the recordings of regular door slams and machinery. :)
If you have more ideas, please let me know! :)
If you have any thoughts of what also could be added into this for the next update, please let me know!:)
Vintage computer sounds please
Not sure how to make them, will have to figure that out! Thanks!
This is great!! I love Half-Life and these sounds fit perfectly with the game ideas I have :)
I hope to see what you'll create with it! And I hope even more to play it!
I had a lot of fun playing your game Static :) I'd like to gift you the PSX Tunnels Kit, please write me an email!
Is it impossible to pay by card? :C
Hi! Paypal should support payment by card. If you're having trouble with paypal, then you can send me an email and I'll find a way to work this out for you! :)
Hi! Thanks for fast reply. I've actually managed to pay via PayPal. Sorry for bothering you, I just never had an opportunity to use that before, haha :D
Hi there! Haha, I'm never bothered by this community, I'm super happy to interact with all of you!
You know people like your work when they are frustrated trying to pay you using different methods lol
Hi! You can click on "Pay by card" link above, to pay me directly. I'll send you a code to claim the asset pack! :)
nice effects
Hi there! Thank you! I'm working on the next update!
just a heads up under soundtrack last chapter is spelt wrong (last charpter) nothing major just in case you wanted to change
I'm not sure exactly where it's spelled wrong, English isn't my first language, please let me know if you have a minute! :)
Ah, no worries: under Echoes - Audio Super Kit v1.5\Echoes - Audio Super Kit\Soundtracks\last charpter (loop).mp3
"last charpter (loop).mp3" should be "last chapter (loop).mp3"
Ohh. Thank you for pointing it out!
If you have ideas of what would be cool to be added to this kit, let me know!
Is there an excel on what there are? I'm looking to see if there are stuff like footsteps
Hi there! I haven't got a chance to make a list yet, but I'll do it in the following few days. I'm working on another update for this asset pack any chance I get now, I think your idea of adding footstep sound effects is excellent, I'll record the audio of me walking on various surfaces tomorrow and will get them ready to be put into the next update which is to come out no later than on the weekend. I might even be able to get them done and uploaded here in the next 24 hours! :) If you have more ideas, please let me know, I'll do all I can to get it produced or recorded!
Thank you! I think UI sounds are cool but as I have seen you already have some... i don't know
Anything that comes to your mind at any time! I might not be able to produce some really fancy stuff, but I'll give it a try
Let me know once you add those footsteps!
I'm working on them right now! I have wood surface done, now editing the concrete ones :D
I have updated it! Added 35 footstep sound effects of wood and concrete surfaces, plus other misc sounds. I'll do more footstep sound effects for other surfaces in 24-48 hours. Have fun!
I'll also record many variations, so you guys would have a lot to choose from :)
can you double check the previews? i can only get one of them to work at all. the cinematic brooooms are on point though
Hi there. It's fixed! :) I had the audio hosted on some free file hosting service, so the server automatically deleted the data after a few days to save storage. Now I hosted the audio on my private server, so this won't be an issue. Have a good day!
i can hear them! these are great! the music samples are *extremely* valve, excellent job
Thank you a million, FlynnCat!
I fell in love with Half-Life series many years back. Half-Life 2 especially. I few months back I played it once again and got really inspired by the atmosphere of it and thought why not to make something like this. Over time it might become something really cool
Just what I needed - brilliant!
Thank you!
You didn't just update this and give the best of the best!!! OMG!!! I needed this so bad, mate! You are just amazing! Making a game currently and I am definitely using this. Thanks you SO SO MUCH ✨✨✨
I'm glad it was a perfect timing for your project. I'll update this asset pack this evening again, forgot to add a bunch of audio that I've saved into the wrong folder :D Have fun!
