I really need some feedback for this idea: What would you think with a game with NO MUSIC AT ALL. The game I''m thinking of is a futuristic Diablo-clone where you have to battle some hideous creatures, like H.R Giger''s Aliens. Now, think that you''re walking inside the creatures lair (very nasty, slime and stuff on the walls) with some very good music. Now, think the same scene again, but this time without music, just the sound of dripping water, your own heavy breat and the sound of your boots...Suddenly you''ll hear a strange sound around the corner... I think the last scene would be best, to make the game so realistic as possible, especially in this kind of Horror/Adventure game.... Can you please give me some feedbac? Sincerely Metus, from the badlands of sweden

good idea

I don''t know about no music anywhere in the game but when you want to make a dramatic moment like you were discribing... it works good.... personal I think meybe if there was music and then it cut off when you walk into a room would work even better...

yes we do try to make then realalistic but...

Hay maybe in the future people walk around with CD players implanted into there heads =) just a thought....

Well, then the player knows that something will happen..that''s that thing i want to avoid in the game...
The game-industri has to many basic ideas about everything...just because every game has music in it, It doesn''t means it will fit..

If the game had good music it would be cool. Without music it will be kind of wierd. What you could do is make a builtin playlist editor, and the player can choose what music he wants to hear. Mp3z,cds, midis, whatever.

Ofcourse, that should be an option for sound - Nosound
Nosound as standard...
but seriously...midi?
Although i Know midi''s sound very good on my card (SBLive player 1024 with 8Mb Soundfont)
