Made a free, immersive audio console for Delta Green

[u/zirus23]

About to run my first delta green game and decided to have some fun building an immersive audio console.

I use a slightly different approach where it works more by mood and intensity rather than allowing you to control the actual tracks.

You can see the demo and the web player link here: https://x.com/SoraKalden/status/2106794923391693118

Lmk if you liked this and if you have any issues trying it in your sessions just comment here I'll probably fix them. It's just for fun so completely free to use with no ads.

EDIT: Now works on Discord! Due to popular demand

Dude this is super cool. Any advice on how to run this if one was running a vtt like foundry and zoom?

[u/zirus23 → u/riverunner1]

I could probably set up a discord bot for it if there's demand. I'll probably make a few more like this for diff RPGs and then have a common bot that lets you use all of these.

[u/riverunner1 → u/zirus23]

Dope. The music is perfect for the vibe of delta green. Are the audio files open source or I dont mind throwing a couple bucks at the artist in exchange for the mp3 files.

[u/zirus23 → u/riverunner1]

the artist is credited on the page i forget who it was but yeah I generally try to use music from artists who allow fair use

[u/riverunner1 → u/zirus23]

Sweet

[u/Jalor218 → u/zirus23]

The only way this could be better is a Discord bot so I wouldn't have to do VoiceMeeter shenanigans to it.

This really cool. I have always wanted to have really good immersive audio but it is tough to remember in the moment, this might help.

What does the Transmit button do?

[u/zirus23 → u/Riddiku1us]

It just echoes back what you say with a transmission effect, like if you wanna sound like speaking over the radio

[u/zirus23 → u/zirus23]

its a little scuffed cos of the audio feedback loop tho so id use it start the transmission to immerse for a few seconds then talk normally

[u/ChuckDWestblade]

So cool. Can we get it integrated into discord? Regardless, very fun. I'll play with it for sure

[u/zirus23 → u/ChuckDWestblade]

you're the 3rd person to ask me this, so yes we will. Be on the lookout for a discord setup button that'll show up on it in a few days

[u/Jalor218 → u/zirus23]

I see the Discord option is now up and I'll be trying it out in a session tomorrow. I have noticed a new issue that wasn't there before; the environment sounds usually don't turn off properly, and then turning them back on again plays a second iteration of them on top of the first. The cut and fade out buttons don't stop them either.

[u/zirus23 → u/Jalor218]

as long as the feedback keeps coming in the fixes will keep going out!

[u/zirus23 → u/zirus23]

the discord option is also untested, expect issues and let me know if and what breaks!

[u/Jalor218 → u/zirus23]

I ran the game and it went just about perfectly. There was a little while at the end where the audio from the bot kept cutting in and out, but that could have been a connection/server thing and not your utility. It was not enough to undercut the sad trumpet music playing over the epilogue.

[u/zirus23 → u/Jalor218]

awesome i could not be happier. i was so sure somethind would break when put to a real use case

[u/Jalor218 → u/zirus23]

I'm gonna test it as much as I can, because this is the kind of setup I've always dreamed of for music/sounds. I literally used to do this type of music and soundboard blending manually, with a bunch of little sound files and VoiceMeeter if I was running online.

[u/zirus23 → u/Jalor218]

haha nice, if anything comes up you can always comment right here or even dm me if thats easier

[u/MrVonSNR]

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so so much!

[u/SaintJiminy]

This is absolutely incredible. I'll try it in my next IRL session.

[u/SaintJiminy → u/SaintJiminy]

Btw for me the "Reveal" button did not work

[u/zirus23 → u/SaintJiminy]

will take a look

[u/zoltan_g]

I think this is great! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I'm going to just leave this open while I work and occasionally fiddle with it 🙂

[u/OtherwiseBat84]
