Progressive Soundtracks


Recommended Posts

After listening to some of the great work the music boys have been producing, I began to wonder. Some of these songs would be great at the beginning of the game, when you don't know anything, and some would be great later on, as you uncover the alien threat. A soundtrack that changes as you advance through the game would be very immersive, and great. :)

 

Having hard points where the sound track changes would be easily spotted, though. Maybe something like the scoring system from Apoc should be used to determine when the music changes? You take all the various points that X-Corps gets, plus alien activity, add in a time score, and you find out what music to play.

 

If there will be a playlist for the Geoscape, different songs can be given overlapping ranges of values that they play at. So, you would have one song gradually leading to the next song, as the game advances. Or, you could have songs play only when alien activity is high, or low.

 

So, what do you think?

i like the idea. Maybe depending on how 'good' you are? Or how many ufos there are on the screen? (more then five = funeral march :P)
