My apologies beforehand if this is in the wrong forum category!
What's is your opinion of finding hidden little musical Easter-eggs in games?
To elaborate, my project revolves around a makeshift hospital during the Great War. My idea was to include a gramophone as an interactive set-piece, however the player cannot use it without first locating records hidden throughout the various locations. Each record would give the player access to listen to a period re-recorded song to play in the background of the hospital (eg. Émile Scaramberg's opera performance of "Inspirez-moi, race divine!" from 1905). Entirely optional, of course, the player can decide not to do it.
What is your general consensus, is it worthwhile to include little Easter-eggs or do you find them pointless and only bloats the gameplay?
Cheers!
Sweetie, that's a terrific idea! Romantic-era music is such a doozy, too!

Only, I'm not sure if I'd have the patience to sit by the gramophone and play all the records I found... Could you look into making it so that when you find the records, they add into a playlist of sorts that plays in the background whenever the player is in the field hospital? Not sure how much work that'd be, but it'd a lot better, imo!
Still waiting to eat that interactive strudel, too!
@BinaCode, that looks totally like something the 90s cooked up! Love it!

Imma look forward to laser guns, helicops, and beefy mecha suits!
