Winter: Tell me what kind of music you want and I'll try to keep an ear out (public domain/
creative commons, as much as possible, o'course).
I think I ran across some 'fantasy'-ish stuff a while back. can't remember where exactly ATM, however.
Midi files, no prob though, easily convertible if need be (cool thing about midis, though: they're smallish).
Free for non-commercial use I *think* (I'm guessing it's mod-ok, 'slong as it ain't a "3rd-party-xpansh" or nutthin..)
ach, nevermind that last bit. anyway, on the more general 'suggestions' thing, here's another one:
Single/2 paragraph text descriptions upon entering a town for the first time(or always).
This, plus music, plus 2d background art = atmosphere.
yeah, cosmetic, I know, but could make it a bit more immersive, if done properly. plus, it's relatively easy
to do (heh. check my 'suggestion' for yoshi's Pirates - it looks like a mod by itself. god i could be such an ass, i swear..)
