What the what the?!?! I literally just came here to send you a message asking if I could adapt this mod for inclusion IN The D64ifier!
Which would you prefer? Inclusion? Or just being listed in the readme as a recommended mod to run alongside it?

Hahaha

I think it would be best as a recommended addon to be easier to update.
I don't know how game/mod relations work in moddb, if possible I could include a tag for it to show on the D64ifier mod page, if that's cool with you.

This is fantastic. Sometimes it's nice to play without music but Doom aural ambience is pretty lacking. This is a great solution. Thanks for sharing.

That makes sense. Perhaps if/when you get to a point where the updates have tapered off and you feel like the mod is pretty complete, then we can revisit the idea of me incorporating it?

I also am not very familiar with those things. I've used ModDB casually for years but only started using it as an uploader recently.

We'll see.

And yeah same.
Pm'd you on moddb btw

Ye I'm thankful to Hey Doomer for idle ambience (and this is built on it)

[RevanGarcia]

Holy cow, this is really good!
