My indie devs, don't sleep on sound design! 
It's more than SFX lists - placement & timing define your game's feel (think silent horror!). Good audio = crucial immersion & player engagement. Make it count!
BTW, are you exploring procedural audio? It's nice and fancy, exactly as the name sounds like.
You can check out the following blog post if you like more info:

Hey #IndieDevHour / Indie Game Devs! 
Have any fun stories about your game titles? 
For example, we had this cool game called Badass Hero. Luckily we changed the title when we realised it wasn't the best (it lacked both "Grand Theft" and "VI", or something). 
Now it's called Fury Unleashed, where you play as an action comic book... badass hero
