I had some trouble sleeping last night. When I finally did fall asleep I saw a wierd dream.

I was in Birmingham (when I have trouble sleeping, I often dream I am in Birmingham - never a good sign)

And as I was strolling through Perry Barr (a rather meh neighbourhood in which I went to universtiy, got mugged etc) I met Mysterarts. At this point the dream was very much unlike my normal Birmingham dreams. I never meet people I know in Birmingham dreams. So we were talking about DotE with Mysterarts (and why the hell he'd get send to Birmingham (who did he piss off at Amplitude?)). And I ended up suggesting a musician hero for the game, wielding a guitar and having music based skills. Mysterarts said he'd look into it. He agreed that they'd have to talk to FlybyNo for the proper, in-theme, sound effects for the skills. He was a bit skeptical when I brought up having the skill sound effects procedurally generated based on enemy type present, dungeon floor and environment, and media library on the users' HD. Apparently that was a bit beyond the scope of what the dev team had the resources to do.



Seriously? Even when I am asleep dreaming of new content, devs tell me inside the dream that the ideas are not 100% viable? Talk about dreams getting too real...

Me, sceptical, worried about big features, bothering the Amplitude's bosses? That's seems veeeery unlikely

But honoured to be in your dream, really!

Aha, so you are saying that you WILL do a hero with sound effects proceduraly generated based on monsters present, environment and dungeon floor, and on the player's mp3 library?

Your answer this night. Be prepared!
