Anyone want their poem/song in my next game? Not standard help wanted...

[poc301]

Murran Chronicles Episode 3 (shameless plug) is coming along wonderfully, and I figured I would ask here if anyone wanted me to include their stuff in my game.  Here is the info:

The game takes place over several days, and in the evenings (there are separate day and night cycles in the game) you and your partner can visit the local pub which has open mic nights for all artists.  I am having poetry readings, musicians, bands, etc. 

Not to spoil anything, but the pub is kind of the central hub for a lot of the nefarious activity going on in the game.  As such, the player will be spending some time there on several nights.  Due to this, I figured I would ask if anyone wanted me to include any of their poetry or songs (can have singing or not) in the game.  If you want, I can also do an actual character of you performing the poetry or song (or you can send me one in hi-res if you have one, this way you're doing the performance yourself ). 

I was going to stick some random poetry in there that my wife had done over the years, or some of my buddy's band's music or some other free content AGS users have put online over the years for open use, but I figured this might be nice for someone wanting to get their content in a game.

If you want to have it in there, please let me know.

Thanks,

-Bill

Haiku maybe help?

[poc301]

Very nice, Mods.  I might use one or some of those (with the author's permission).  I just figured I'd drop a line here first though.

Man, if you have someone either say a bit of a Vogon poetry or just the intro from the first book of HHGTG it'd sure make me smile..

THAT is a good idea   I will grab my Douglas Adams collection from my bookshelf and look for something good to put in

Thanks!

What kind of tone are you after?  And what kind of length?
Because I wrote a poem 6 or 7 years ago that I was quite proud of called 'Bad Guts' about the effects of eating a dodgy sausage.  It's 52 lines long.  I'll PM it to you as its a bit long and might not be what yor looking for.

[poc301]

Works great, I will incorporate it.  Do you want a virtual representation of yourself?  Or shall I just create a random character sprite?

-Bill

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.  Feel free to create a character that suits the poem.  I'm a pretty average boring looking fella, haha.

For a bit of humour you could add Frankie Boyle's poem "Daffodils"

Enjoy

Maybe some "experimental" poetry from that part in Grim Fandango when you're on stage in that jazz club beneath the casino.

lol. Ashes-to ashes-to-ashes-to ashes-to- rabid dog?- I love- the pain!

That's one I remember from grim fandango.

OMFG that was HILARIOUS!  I had never heard that before.  Hahah.  I dunno, I might do that. 

I have actually never played Grim Fandango.  I was a child of the 80s, played all the Sierra/LA games, but never that one.

You should, it's a classicplus I think it's more for "grownups" than for kids. That's my excuse for playing it sometimes.
