Will we ever have radio stations we can tune into instead of just in-game background music?asked by .Hecate
TL;DRThe audio team would love to add radio stations, perhaps location-specific, and the studio has wanted them for years, but finding resources and a way to implement them is still an open challenge.
You know, I was talking about this yesterday. Yes, I would love to have radio stations in. And that's what I'd like to do. Maybe radio stations which are exclusive to certain planets, and when you fly away from the planet, you don't receive that transmission. Maybe when you fly to a colony somewhere, you get a slightly different style of radio station. All manner of things: radio, music, narrative, adverts, shipping forecasts, how much rocks cost.
I feel like maybe two or three months ago, there was a backer who basically invented like an hour-long string of what a Star Citizen radio station would be like. They used AI. It was trucker music and everything. And I don't want to turn this into a conversation about AI because I despise AI with a fiery passion of 10,000 suns. But it was rather compelling to listen to for a while. And so it's going to be an interesting challenge finding resources and figuring out how to implement that. But there's no secret. We've talked about it for years. It's something we want. It's something Chris wants. So finding a way to make that happen will be interesting.
Yeah, I think it'd be brilliant. We talked about this yesterday. So, yes, that is something I'm definitely considering.
