More music?
« on: July 20, 2017, 12:38:14 pm »

Add new music!

Current there's only one "song"(that's nice) in fortress mode and no in Adventure mode.
It would be nice when more music from the current type would be added in fortress and adventure mode.

And special music for events like sieges, battles or arrival of the king!

Have a nice day! :)

When I use SoundSense, it doesn't really bother me.

It's something that's been planned for a long, long time (seasonal music). But of course, involves Toady not programming (or attending talk panels, editing books, running a website, etc) and sitting down to compose and play more music. He said recently he still plays guitar every day so he's not forgotten how. I imagine it's very low priority though.

Someone could do a order 1 markov chain music generator that use the music sheet of the game as the info to get the probabilities.
This way you would have generative music that still follow the original music pattern.

If you're going to generate music, would prefer it to follow the music patterns actually generated by the game. Sure, sure, most of it would be alien sounding garbage, but if you could have soundsense trigger just when you're browsing near your tavern it would be pretty atmospheric.

And when it gets annoying, just switch on Simon Swerwer.
