431 sounds for the whole "walk around and touch things" layer of a game: footsteps on 13 surfaces (299 steps: walk, run, sneak, land and jump) plus 132 foley sounds: clothes and armour moving, picking up and dropping items, doors, chests, drawers, locks, levers and switches, eating and drinking. Every footstep folder is ready for a random-pick player: numbered variations, so no two steps in a row sound the same.

Licence in one line: use them in any personal or commercial game; do not resell the sounds.

Footsteps

• 13 surfaces: grass, dirt path, gravel, sand, snow, wooden floor, stone, metal grate, tiles, carpet, puddle water, mud, dry leaves.
• Per surface (23 files): walk x8, run x6, sneak (quiet) x4, land x3, jump push-off x2.
• Variations that really differ: each one has its own heel-to-toe timing, weight, pitch and tone, and the build checks that no two are alike.
• One folder per surface, so switching the ground under the player is switching one folder.

Foley

• Movement and armour (28): clothes rustle as a character moves; leather armour / belt creak; chainmail jingles with a movement; plate armour clanks with a movement; backpack and gear shift (straps, buckles).

What you get

• 431 sounds (3.2 minutes) as WAV (44.1 kHz, 16-bit, mono) and OGG.
• Loudness-matched: every sound at the same loudness with peaks at most -1 dBFS; sneak steps, chewing and small clicks lower on purpose, listed in the cue sheet.
• soundboard.html: hear every sound in your browser, offline; "Random from list" plays steps the way a game does.
• Cue sheet (CSV + JSON): category, folder, name, description, length, peak and loudness of every file, and the random groups.
• Engine notes in the README: Godot 4 AudioStreamRandomizer, Unity, GameMaker and others.
• A preview reel on this page plays all 431 sounds (5.4 minutes) with a timestamp list.

Checked by the build

No clipping, no silence at the start or end, no DC offset, no two files alike (a spectrum fingerprint over all of them), every OGG decoded and compared with its WAV, and the sound board tested in a browser.

What it does not include

No voices, no combat or magic sounds, no ambience loops, no music.
