I am broke and homeless, no money around… Yet Flowlab has to let its trumpet sound, telling everyone that they must pay, in order to make an actually good game that someone would want to play. I want to upload my own sounds, yet it costs more than huge money mounds. So please, do something about it, do not throw a fit. I know you want your money, but I do not care, so please, just let me breathe some air—without you guys standing over me taking my money—which is totally not at all fair.
Mp3 URLs are totally free

- Flowlab has a big sound library for free
- You can use your own sounds if you are willing to find the right workaround for getting .mp3 url in the sound block.
- The indie subscription is more or less access to storage and non-essential features. It costs money to store everyones games, music, and sprites. A free user will have 3 games, while I have over 250 games and examples but free users still use more storage overall on the site. And the sound library is big enough to use for any game types, but uploading sounds help makes a game unique. Custom sounds is both a storage issue and a non-essential feature, hence why the feature is in a paywall.

But I don’t know how to do that, for I’m just a stupid homeless person who’s fat. I’m just kidding of course, no offense intended—I don’t want to get into a riled up fight as if a horse.
How do you do it?

You can look for some song-making websites that support mp3 files and download the songs you make. Then you can import them into your game
Maybe go to files and drag the mp3 file to the Url in the sound behavior? (The laptop I’m using doesn’t seem to let me import anything, so I’m guessing it could work)
Edit: I don’t think dragging would work
Flowlab is not a large company. It is a small business. It costs a lot of money to store games, their assets, their code, their pages, so on and so forth like JR 01 said.
Plain and simply, you being in a less fortunate state should not alter or change how a business operates. You don’t own it.
If you’re already going to complain about Flowlab and how it is operated from the very moment you made your face known here, there are other engines that will satisfy what you want, such as Love2D or Clickteam Fusion or Godot.

“Not fair”? Are we being serious? How else would Flowlab make money to stay up if you didn’t have to pay? It’s only fair that you pay to make a game that will get you payments back. You’re acting like Flowlab is adobe with absolutely ridiculous practices and such. Sorry that’s you’re homeless but this is how life works and you’re just going to have to deal with it

Please dude… rather than complaining about what you don’t have just use what you got
The free flowlab sounds and songs are nice and as I said previously you don’t need indie to make a good game, a user named ManiacPumpkin is a free user and got his game featured, who’s to say you can’t too?

Always look into taking and reason with people, not try to start arguments. Part of this post was exaggerated/trolling, but that does not give anyone any reason to argue or attack. If someone becomes unreasonable, flag them.
