Music For Dwarf Fortress
« on: February 04, 2012, 10:55:44 pm »
I have been struck by a fey mood and now must post this thread. I propose that it be a repository of music for Dwarf fortress, whether for Dwarf Fortress or Adventure mode. Sooo...just post any music you feel would be good for the game. Hopefully this'll take off better than the Dorf Space Program, whose only shuttle was destroyed when a stray spark got into the Rum Reactor.

Happy listening!

We have rather a lot of these. Since it says "Escaped Lunatic" by your name I'm guessing you probably don't know about the DF sound engine:

I'm vain as shit when it comes to music, so I'll probably record myself playing the DF theme and use that as my background music soon enough :P

This song is kind of irritating.. Although I may think that mostly because the usual place I encounter it is as the Unfortunate Lamia's theme from Monstergirl Quest, and she is annoying and revolting as heck, despite being useful.

I like listening to NGE's ripoff of 007.

I had an above ground garden built in the grounds of my castle and two young dwarves spent time socialising there over the summer and at the end of the summer they were in love. Remember those long summers of your childhood? That first kiss in the gardens while crossbows dwarves shoot goblins above your head? The rain of dead birds as the hunters get to work? Truly Spearhills is a paradise.

Is it possible to import a custom playlist into the game?

Possible, maybe. Not worth the effort though. Most computers theses days have multiple cores, and since DF can only use one, there is no significant performance loss to just playing music in the background. Assuming you don't use iTunes, which is a CPU devouring demon whore.
