I'm already writing dialog for a DJ, he's a prewar abductee from modern times (give or take). He's bitter from the fact that the world went and got nuked while he was frozen and has some minor psychological issues, I already have one scenario where he says he's going to play music, then there is silence for a couple seconds, then he starts ranting about how people ruined the world, then goes straight into music. He's not as charismatic as Three Dog and any humor will come off as unintentional. He's unsure what to do with his life in the wastes and decided to start playing music, because it was as good an option as anything else he can come up with.
...is this thing on, can you fuckers hear me?
Hell, I guess I wouldn't know if you could or not, would I? Well either way...
I'm not sure how long I was frozen but it appears you assholes let the world go to shit... good job.
I've got nothing better to do, and the aliens had quite the iTunes library- though I guess you fuckers don't know what that is, do you?
Whatever. Nevermind. No more jokes. Point is, I've set up the comm station up here to broadcast a radio station globally, if you can hear, I'm your host ______ and you are listening to... Mothership Global Radio.
Not finalized yet, but I want something similar to that to be the first thing you hear upon tuning in for the first time. It only enables after you've finished mothership zeta though. I would like to set up a radio station that you can visit on the ship, but that is low priority. I am already prototyping a list based music structure that allows for an unlimited amount of songs to be played by choosing categories and then individual songs, so the game would pick a category randomly and the DJ would say something appropriate ("Now something on the depressing side" if it picks a list labeled Sad, for example).
I don't have a voice for radio and I'm doing all my own recording, but I partially think it's better that way, makes it sound more amateur like someone who is just doing it for the hell of it.
I would like to be able to incorporate some more modern music, because it's what I'm familiar with, so I am more capable of categorizing it. I need to come up with some way of allowing the user to supply the music.
