[April Fool's] Greater Immersion

Post by Sophia »

DSB will now include features to hopefully create greater immersion. However, for something as nostalgic as DM (and with its rather outdated graphics) the goal of this immersion will not be the sense that you are actually in the dungeon, but rather, the sense that you are playing DM back in the good(?) old days.

Features will include:
:arrow: Simulated scanlines to really look like you were playing on an old monitor.
:arrow: Simulated floppy drive noises.
:arrow: Checking of system locale; if it's UK the game will run at 5/6th speed.
:arrow: The Hint Oracle will now be made to read like snarky tips in Amiga Power, and some will be complete nonsense.
:arrow: Errors in DSB will now cause the program to crash with a "Guru Meditation" screen.
:arrow: Automatic searching of YouTube for various 80s pop songs to play in the background.
