I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

We're Tenshi Studios, an #indieotome studio comprised of a cute angel dev and two cats who sit on the keyboard sometimes. Sorry we're late to #PortfolioDay. We make otome and #rpgmaker games! tenshistudios.itch.io tenshideve@gmail.com (open to work as an artist) #otome ♡ #amare ♡ #indiegamedev

A softly lit, intimate illustration of a otome game couple standing close together in front of an open refrigerator at night. A lavender-haired woman leans into a blue-haired man, resting her hand on his chest, while he looks down at her gently. The background is dark, with the fridge providing a subtle glow. Stylized text on the left reads “Ex Change,” with arrows and heart motifs incorporated into the design.

Anime-style promotional artwork featuring three characters from an otome game. In the center, a cheerful magical girl dressed in a festive red-and-green Santa-inspired outfit floats with candy-cane wings. On the left stands a pink-haired young man wearing a casual sweater with a snowman graphic. On the right is a silver-haired young man in a dark, elegant outfit with a cape. The background is bright and sparkly, with the title “Mahou Shoujo Santa Claus” displayed at the bottom.

Three otome game characters stand closely together, smiling. The person in the center holds a cup of coffee and smiles with eyes closed. To the left is a dark-skinned person with long purple locs, tasting a pastry. To the right is a light-skinned person with long pale lavender hair and pointed elf-like ears, wearing an apron. The word “Bloom” appears at the top in decorative lettering with floral accents.

A stylized illustration of a tired-looking young woman with brown hair wearing a pink top, shown against a green casino table background. Poker chips, dice, and playing cards float around her. In the foreground, a black cat faces her from behind. Pink text across the image reads, “I’ll never let my owner recover from her gambling addiction!” This is from an RPG Maker Game.

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art" There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept. You're using ai for concept art.
