I've compiled two half-hour soundtracks done so far: Swamp and Dungeon.
- Swamp is about fighting magical creatures from European myth in a swamp.
- Dungeon is about delving a typical roguelike dungeon. Not the deep tunnels of the Underdark, or a tomb, for example.
DCSS soundtrack | YouTube playlist
I searched Pixabay for relevant royalty-free songs, then arranged them in a thematic lyrics-free playlist suitable for videogaming. Then I added a fantasy art slideshow to make it a YouTube video. The pictures are sequenced to suggest a story.
r/GameMusic appreciated my first soundtrack. r/RoguelikeDev is also very interested in free soundtracks, but the mods won't allow me to post my playlist there, because anything even tangentially related to my fork of DCSS isn't allowed. The main roguelike subreddits have banded together to forbid mention of my fork, because I observed that SJWs took over the DCSS community and ruined it.
This behavior is not specific to me; they previously banned mention of Malcolm Rose's fork of DCSS. Malcolm is the top DCSS streaker, and was banned by the DCSS mods for being conservative. The roguelikes subreddits embargoed and killed Malcolm's fork, because he was not aware that SJWs converge institutions against conservatives.
However, I anticipate the persecution and simply document it to build the case for replacing the converged institutions entirely. Reddit is rotten to the core. It is owned by Advance Publications, a Jewish company fostering a cultural revolution led by tranny mods. Github has a speech code as well, so my documentation is on the censorship-free Gitgud.io Gitlab instance.
Every bikini-clad beauty I include in my soundtrack videos reminds these miserable lunatics that they will never be a real woman. That's why the logo of r/dcsf is a naked water nymph. Forget stupid MacGuffins; a beautiful woman is the only prize worth fighting for!
thanks for the fork will watch with intrest... forks are the only thing thats going to save co opted rougelikes or just ones thats devs went pants on head... i remember when cataclism dda was pretty good then cleverraven and his goons started adding in a bunch of unfun gated bullshit to the game using realism as an excuse, then i found the bright nights fork (the power grid they did was just a cherry) and the fun continues as does the cycle of boom and bust.
Thanks. I'll be recording the enhanced-difficulty Demigod playthrough next. Tribulations every 3rd level. Depending on which godfather I roll, it could range from breezy to suicidal. But therein lies the fun, eh?

What does gated mean in this context?
will do my best to chronical hazy memory so take with a grain of salt, they had what i could only describe as a hateboner for bionics and other cool shit, one of the earlyist changes i could rember was the autodoc. used to you could install bionics manually provided you numbed the pain now they require an auto doc or doc follower and anastesia which was a pain to track down, ok annoying but still manageable as bionics could still be salvaged from zombies, then they changed that. need tools to reset them and a specialized tool called an autoclave and pouches to steralize them which can only really be found in a lab, they floated bionic slot limits i noped out after that change after seeing a downward trend last i heard they added nutriton and obesity to the game so theres yet something else to kill you. the problem with the gates is too much rng is also on top of them. your not gurrenteed to brave a lab one of the most dangerous locations in the game and still get an autoclave and without salvaging them bionics esp useful ones are rare and need a power source bionic like a battery system or metabolic interchange to work... starting to see the problem? bright nights did away with a lot of the bull but some of it is still there.
