Dynamic terror radiuses
Terror radiuses/chase music is my favorite mechanic in dbd, they're just so cool. Something I've always wanted in dbd is just more opportunities for the chase music to alter or adapt to what's going on in the game, for example, a unique background ambiance while in the dying state or being carried while these are nice ideas, what really makes me think about what could be is terror radius/chase music for killers with different forms/modes such as plague's corrupt purge or oni's blood fury.
Basically what I'm trying to say is, there are about 3 or more idk unused chase themes that were much different than the current that were scrapped (I'm not talking about the ptb music that just got minor changes in live like singularity) The first being Oni's: https://youtu.be/jmaVUQ0cHCY This theme is surprisingly good and idk why it was scrapped exactly. I feel like this chase music could be reintegrated as oni's regular terror radius, and then his current one (the much more intimidating, brass, brutish theme) could be his terror radius/chase while in blood fury. It would be so cool.
The other example of this is a little more controversial: ghostface's ptb music, yes when it was first revealed it was straining to some people, I personally felt like it was much more fitting for the sneaky stealth killer, it just needed some better mixing and stuff. Behavior went in this weird back and forth between the new and the old one until the new one finally took over and this one just isn't as good thematically. It feels sneaky, it just isn't all that tense for a killer who could show up at any moment. I feel like the old terror radius could be reworked as something you only hear when fully marked, it further feeds into the intensity of being one hit. And if skull merchant can have her washing machine why can't ghostie?
Pyramid head had his own strange ptb chase music: https://youtu.be/xwz9g8U8buw this one I don't really feel like it deserves to return but still, it would be interesting if it played when you were tormented due it its much more uncomfortable and clautrophobic feel. but y'know, licensing and stuff would likely get in the way of this.
These are the only real examples I have, obviously, I wish that there were more scrapped terror radiuses available to the public for me to use as examples. When plague inevitably gets her chase music I wish this would happen when she gets corrupt purge and I wish victor had his own little mini chase music, not full on, just some minor thing to keep it tense although that sounds like a nightmare of spaghetti code. None of these things will likely happen, but I would be so happy if it did because it would further enhance the experience. These would probably be beyond difficult to integrate honestly but I still want to fantasize about it cuz it's just such a cool idea and also because I really, really liked oni's old chase music, just as much as his current one.
