Hello, hello.

Back in the day, I had a WinAmp playlist of MIDI files from all sorts of places that I'd have playing in the background while playing ADOM. It was especially enhancing when the styles of my location in the game and the song playing at that moment matched.

What do you think of harnessing the community to help provide the game with ambient, mood-enhancing music for different locales or events? Not Mario-bros style "this-is-a-game-can't-you-tell?" sort of music. But non-obtrusive, atmospheric pieces of song drifting parallel to the mood.

(Technically, I envision using MODs, so as the game progresses, a place like "traveling in the overworld" (zoomed-out) can have tracks added to the song. Darker, lower tracks if the player is evil. Lighter, epic tracks if the character is good.) This is all admittedly going beyond just the simple "how 'bout music?" question, but I would hope it could arrive at something that cool.

What do you think?
