give each dorf a tiny squeaky voice!
« on: December 27, 2018, 06:44:53 am »

 :D So right now dorfs are silent to the player, so if would be nice if the vanilla game gave each dorf a limited set of short small sounds with which they can make themselves heard to the player. Maybe the sounds can be squeaky appropriately to the tiny dorf icons player sees.

the sounds made by a multitude of dorfs add up to a collective sound effect...

Throwing a party? the dorfs involved will make the happy sounds when player is focused onto location
Throwing tantrum? dorfs involved will make the angry sounds when player is focused

Running away from something or scared by something? scared sound effect.

depressed? sad sound effect.
contented? happy sound effect.

Fighting or involved in battle? battle/ fighting sound effect.


And so on...

Have you tried SoundSense?

Honestly I'd like to see more built-in support for it, but it's pretty good as it is.

Yes I use Soundsense, its quite good, (I think it has word phrases and sound effects that trigger when events happen)

but I was more thinking the in-game dwarfs themselves would make little sounds to indicate their state (eg. from a small standard collection of sounds)
