- CC BY: usable, commercially as well, but with attribution, for example in the credits.
- CC BY-NC: not for games you sell.
Formats for Visionaire
Use Ogg Vorbis or Opus. Both are free of patents, sound good and are small. Details in the wiki under Audio formats.
Rule to remember
Sound makes half the atmosphere. Use Ogg, and note the licence the moment you download a sound.
Your task
Give your first room an ambient sound and three effects. Write source and licence of every sound into a list.
