Lizard Noises [TG/Bee Port.]
This is a port from TG station, who ported it from Beestation
What Does This PR Do
- https://github.com/BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet/pull/2407
- https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/57549
Lizards now have their own custom scream! They also have a custom death gasps noises instead of borrowing from base humans. Oh, and to quote the original PR,
all the sounds have been confirmed to be under the creative commons license, so no worries about copyright
Why It's Good For The Game
I think giving different species unique features lets them stick out more from being just carbon copies of humans but green. Lizard's having some uniqueness will help them stand out more as a unique species.
Also, this isn't anything new, IPC, Moths, Vox, Drask, etc all have their own unique sounds, lets's give some lizards some love.
Lizard Deathgasp.

Changelog
:cl: soundadd: Added lizard scream, and lizard deathgasp /:cl:
I like the idea of changing the sounds for them but these sounds just don't sound right to me.
As much as species-unique sounds are nice, the deathgasp sounds like some demonic blob-like nightmare fuel, and the screams remind me more of a pissed off bear (and a pitched up pissed off bear in scream #2) than a lizardperson
This sound is perfectly fitting for lizards. It doesn't have to sound exactly like what an actual lizard sounds like, the Vox and Moth scream sound nothing like their real like counterparts, species sounds only need to be unique.
these sound really ugly and disgusting, which isn't a bad thing per se, it's very characterizing actually, but...
you kind of are retroactively characterizing a bunch of people's characters very extremely and also negatively in a way by giving them noises like these. they would rather work as unique emotes instead of having people's characters just make slime monster croaks now
I agree that the deathgasp does sound unpleasantly monster-ish, with how low and gurgly it is. I understand the aim for guttural lizard sounds, but it doesn't feel like a sound a player-character should make.
It's also hard to get past the screams being a very obvious stock bear roar but pitched way up.
this has two design objections and none in favour after 20+ days. closing
