thorgold 91 Posted July 5, 2012 These are amazing. I'm going to go on a loot run to Cherno with "Paranoia" playing in the background Oh gods no.I definitely think that some more music besides the other ambient soundtracks would be a nice touch. Great work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great work!Cheers! Glad you like them. They are more or less just ideas at the moment. I have ton of ideas for different music that could be triggered by different situations. Trying to keep them as minimal (and creepy) as possible. :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfstriked 143 Posted July 5, 2012 WOW that was excellent!!! :) Was expecting to turn it on and then off and leave it alone but you made some really creepy tunes there.And the fact that its just ambiance in background and keeps same terrifying sound instead of changing tempo etc is also excellent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henna74 1 Posted July 5, 2012 Great Sounds, would really fit as ambiente if placed well ingame.+1! Make more! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claytonaj 12 Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks for sharing. Keep it up, as long as you feel inspired! I'd like to hear more. How about something that starts hopeful but turns quickly to despair, becomes increasingly desperate, then ends suddenly. This would encapsulate a number of my lives in DayZ. :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-nick- 2 Posted July 5, 2012 Amazing work. DayZ is definitely in need of some better ambient sounds etc.These fit perfectly & would certainly shit me up in game!-MSTRB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soapmak3r 677 Posted July 6, 2012 Sweet! Thanks for the positive feedback. I'll get to work on some more this evening. I have a ton of other ideas! :DDoes anyone know if I can I add this music into the mod so that I can test how it fits in-game and make a few Bandicam captures of it? If not I can always edit it onto videos. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pvt_ammo@hotmail.com 164 Posted July 6, 2012 Awesome work m8! I often play with the dawn/day of the dead soundtrack going. ( sad I know ) but a soundtrack can make all the difference between a good experience and an awesome one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoffield77@gmail.com 192 Posted July 8, 2012 I turn off music so this wouldn't effect me, but as a musician: it is quite nice ;)but I don't know how it would be implamented, I see these going with a trigger, rather then just being back ground music.This would be perfect for a co-op mission, or a game like amnesia but DayZ? I'm not all sure how they would be implemented Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vesmo 21 Posted July 8, 2012 These seem pretty good and appropriate for the game, very similar to the current ambient music...maybe you should contact the devteam directly? ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfstriked 143 Posted July 8, 2012 Awesome to hear this music when at loading screen and instead of the tank there should be a kool DayZ pic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
urspider2018@gmail.com 109 Posted July 8, 2012 The songs are really good, just a bit curious as to how they might implement them. Maybe have something like once you get closest enough to something (say, a crash site) the music changes? (To crash site, perhaps?) I'm pretty sure they already have a trigger system in Arma so I don't think that would be hard.And I personally think we need more triggered music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure they already have a trigger system in Arma so I don't think that would be hard.And I personally think we need more triggered music.[/quote']Yeah, I was thinking that it could work based on situation...So when you are approaching a crash site or military installation, a 'crash site' song would play with some military overtones...When in industrial areas, industrial kind of ambient music.I was also thinking that an interesting way to balance PvP might be to have 'paranoia' music play when you are within voice range of a murderer. Or maybe just in voice range of anyone...So that it raises the tension to breaking point.Other ideas would be 'lonely traveller' or other melancholic songs could be triggered at the beach where we spawn, or it could be triggered when travelling through the wilderness.'Creeping death', when crawling around, surrounded by zombies...'On the run' when you are spotted by zombies and have to sprint to escape etc.There is a lot of potential for a dynamic music system that could really scare the shit out of people. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julia_Shafer 18 Posted July 11, 2012 idk its a bit odd for my tastes, sounds more like ambient noise then anything, but to each their liking. As long as it aint dubstep lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soapmak3r 677 Posted July 11, 2012 majority of players turn off music, just an fyi.Not meaning to sound too cheeky, but did you take a survey? If that is the case, maybe it is because there are only 2 repeating tracks at the moment, which I am guessing are more or less just placeholders...Like a lot of the stuff in the game so far.
