Bring back indoor music. It was charming and great.

One technical reason to not bring back the music in its "current" condition is that it uses the MIDI system to play it back, which is unreliable to say the least. I have a background project to write a software-MIDI "renderer" which would fix those problems, but it's obviously not my absolutely highest priority. :)

would this have any effect on the instrument music, as in, make it not suck

Well when it moves from a back burner project to a random nice thing you add to the game. It will be great.

I rather have a music box that you build that would start playing when you enter it's radius.
Setting it up so that you can tune the box to play a tune would make some places more interesting

Forgive my ignorance here (I'm not a game developer), but couldn't you just use a recording of the old house music, encoded as an mp3/wav or whatever is used for the ambient music that plays in the current version of the game? Sorry if I'm butchering the terminology.

I would love this so much.

A bit torn on the matter. Will consider.

I hope that "but mp3 files are too large" is not a reason for us not having music.

It is, though. Take, for example, when MM added music to Salem, which made the initial download grow from ~40 MB to ~160 MB.

Which is also the answer to NotJimmy97.

You could use the internet site known as Youtube and have that on in the background. That way you can listen to any music you want.

This is also part of the reason why having music in Haven at all is not an obvious decision.

This applies to all games. But many games still have music of somekind.
