There is a lot of threads here about video games music, but I am more interested in sound effects. I feel that it's so complicated with copyrighting stuff even if I find stuff on www.freesound.org

How do others do that?

[Schoq]

LabChirp is probably the best (relatively) easy to pick up tool if you want to synthesize your very own and distinct sound effects as a small game dev. The randomizer alone will get you a long way if you aren't interested in learning sound synthesis.

bfxr also good! Similar kind of thing to labchirp, from the looks of it.

you might really like Akash Thakkar's youtube channel, tons of information about creating layered sounds with a DAW, and the whole process behind making SFX. he worked on Hyperlight Drifter and a bunch of other games.

I personally use sfxr, and would recommend it. Though, bfxr is also great, as droqen stated above.
