The post stated that the sound design kits would be available directly on the Roblox website in the future, so I don’t think players will be required to upload the sounds from the pack and can simply purchase it through Roblox.
$100 for 5k sounds though is about 2 cents a sound.
That would mean anyone who buys the audio through Tommy’s site is spending a lot more than someone who buys the audio through the site.

Anyway. I’m so glad this is happening. I personally think people deserve this after treating Tommy Tallarico so horribly over a sound he owns. Making people pay for the sound is rightfully just.

At least the pricing is somewhat decent for the sound itself.
If I was an active developer, I’d happily pay the small cost to preserve a part of history within my games.
Again, how is this going to be enforced in terms of redistribution? Like many have said, it’s just gonna end up being uploaded to several different websites and brought onto Roblox that way.

You most likely won’t use every sound in the Kits, and @StrongBigeMan9 has a Very Valid point. I will most likely wait until then so that I may Save quite a bit of cash.
I agree, but the problem is Roblox is screwing over developers. Why do I have to pay for Roblox’s mistake? It is their fault they didn’t license a sound properly and now I am going to have to pay to use it on their own platform.

I have to be honest, for those that found the oof sound to be the best , most redeeming part of Roblox in the first place, and that “eveything” is ruined because of it, that’s pretty sad. I’m more concerned about the rest of the implications surrounding this situation on the developer side of things vs. the general player base disappointment about the oof sound.
Wow. I’m at a loss for words. I assume that yall lost the court battle and this advertisement was part of the settlement. While the post is slightly irritating to me, I understand that it’s beyond your control.
What I don’t understand though, is why this entire system was so rushed. It’s blatantly obvious considering that this is all done offsite using USD. Why was this not released after the new marketplace launched? Why is this done on tommy’s site?
In addition to buying the audio files, we then have to upload it to Roblox with our own robux. Making this entire process so expensive and overly complicated is just rubbing salt in the wound.
This entire post was disappointing and rude to many developers. It was starting to look like developer relations was improving, what happened? Y’all really need to stop taking advantage of developers, it’s getting old.
I hope this was just a one-off topic. I do realize that your hand was forced here, but it doesn’t make it any less disappointing.

I mean they just announced the removal of the “oof” sound. That would have brought thousands here alone.

I don’t believe it. Roblox tells us not to advertise in this platform yet they are doing it for such a cheapskate. Literally, they are giving a head start for a person who had just joined the platform.
To be honest, I don’t care about these sounds or anything. What I’m irked about is the head start a CEO got from Roblox, like advertising his products, while top developers here still get ignored. He just got his products into Roblox and is getting free advertising for his sounds, while developers are hoping for a DevEx rate which might never increase and a lot of features in #platform-feedback:website-features be implemented. It is saddening to see Roblox favoring capitalists who haven’t even been in this platform for more than a month rather than the Developers who have been here from years.
So, this guy is getting free advertising from the DevForum. And he didn’t even sweat for it.
So, basically Roblox is showing partiality to corporates rather than the consumers and developers.
Rules Roblox is breaking:
Global Rule 10
10. In every category except Bulletin Board, you may not post on behalf of non-Developer Forum members.
Global Rule 16
16. Do not solicit other developers or Roblox employees to advertise products, services, or anything else.
P.S. I tried flagging the post, but failed; shows how power corrupts.

True, but the the title of about the product of his. Sooooooo
It’s sad that the original death sound it going away, but I’m glad the conflict between the 2 has been resolved. I hope to see a better future in sound design in games.
Wow, Happy cake day!
As we all can see this was a weird post… I think more people was sad and/or crushed of this statement.
Really I think the worst part is that you guy have been using an illegal sound for 15 years.
As for the updates… I think it’s time to step up the game. All these “bad” updates aren’t helping.
It is understandable that somethings must suck a little. I think it’s time to feel the community and not just sit in your castle.
Making a community is hard and I don’t thing the devreel is actually helping so much.
I think that Roblox should start listening to the community. Go in to DM’s and talk.

It just doesn’t fit any where lol. 100% a settlement.

Oh my god, nobody cares about this guy that trash talked an entire community until he got want he wanted as a publicity stunt. He already got enough coverage from his little tantrums, and now that he can force his way into the development community he’s suddenly all nice to us? Aight.
I could literally record myself making an “uhhhh” sound and upload it. Y’all should have done that and let him keep his sound to himself.
I recognise this post was likely part of a legal agreement, but that won’t stop me from complaining about it!

While I’m not at all invested in if the classic death sound stays or goes, I’m very much not a fan of this forum (and the official ROBLOX account) being used to advertise a third party service in this way. I’m aware ROBLOX worked closely with him, but it still just doesn’t give me good vibes in regards to the direction of the platform going forward.

I have a few questions and mixed opinions regarding this post.
Will there be an option to keep this sound in our games or will we have to pay 10$?
If I was in a development team and I purchased the sound pack for the game the team was developing what would happen then?
As many other people have said, we will have to pay even more to upload these sounds to Roblox which in my opinion is not worth it.
A feature where if you upload one of these sounds to Roblox you don’t need to pay an extra fee would be great.

They should reduce the price of the sounds.

I’m sorry… what? I have to pay to get access to the sound effects, AND I have to pay to upload each. That’s a bit too much, especially if I want to use a lot of sounds. This seems like a very strange method for both parties to make a profit, and it’s very likely that someone’s going to upload all of his sound effects for anyone to use, without needing to pay. Oh yeah, and can we know what sound effects we’re buying? Maybe give us the name of all the sound effects in one pack so we can see if what we want is there.
