Why Can't We Add Music to This Game?

[Everybody do the flop]

TPH let you add in your own tracks so you can hear whatever song you want on the radio. I know you can just mute audio and play something for this game, but I miss hearing the radio announcements mixed in with songs I listen to.

Mods came later to Hospital it wasn't there at launch.

Mods have only just started to be added for Campus, they aren't done adding things to the game yet.

The one thing that may slow it down a lot though is they aren't using steam workshop and there's a ton of bugs with the service they are using for mod distribution now and the community isn't really jumping on it like they did for Hospital yet.

Probably because no-one cares about the new service. Also you didn't need to download any mods to get music added to TPH, you could just get it from your PC.

The ability to add additional music was added when they added mod support and the workshop was filled with music options, there's over a 1000 of them:

My point was simple, the music add on was hand in hand with how they expanded modding the game.

I get that, all I mean is the music isn't limited to just adding them in via mods. With the new system it just punishes people who use the workshop AND those who add in their own custom tracks.

In the audio settings, you can mute the music volume, but the DJ volume is separate and you can keep that on. Obviously the timing with your own music starting and pausing won't line up, but that way you can still enjoy the DJs.

Not as elegant a solution as the game supporting your own music, but it's a option for now!

Thx Morn. I do agree... TP Hospital had it... bring it to the Campus plz... I need "MY" jamz.

[Lord Pum]

Just got the game and I'm kinda disappointed this feature is missing. Is there any update from the devs? I didn't find a mod about songs or music in general.

[Lord Pum]

Bump. I really love this feature

[Lord von Games]

I'll go so far as to say when I got the game, I was playing the Hospital game, and enjoying my jams, and then when I got the Campus game and it didn't have it, I thought at first that I just didn't have the right settings or some such, and then when I found out it doesn't exist... I considered refunding... and then I was already over 2 hours... so....

Yeah, I totally agree. The game is cool but the lack of this feature totally breaks the whole radio and DJ announcer. It's almost better to play it soundless but ugh :/

[Lord Pum]

And bump again. Devs, can you answer on the actual status of this feature, whether it's in development or scrapped, please?

[TwoPointChizel]

Hi Lord Pum,

Thanks for the bump.

We don't currently have plans to add this feature to Campus, but we'll be sure to update if we do!

Feel free to post any other suggestions, as we do keep an eye on them.

Thanks,

Chizel

I literally looked for a refund when I discovered that one of my favorite "chill" games didn't let me listen to my favorite chill-runes on their super fun chill-radio. I REALLY hope you guys reconsider this. It might seem like a small thing on paper, but it part of the magical formula that made your previous installment that good at keeping us playing it...

Thank you for responding.

What kind of an argument is that.

"I expected" = "I didn't do research first". Mute the in-game music, open a browser, go to youtube, find a playlist, press play and ajust the volume. Done.

The game not having a feature you want but didn't check about before purchasing, that's not the game's problem.

What kind of a lame attack is that? Who researches if the studio is using their signature radio in their game? The original Hospital game didn't list it as a feature but it was there. So, I suspect, most of us thought it was in their new game. Especially when the trailers"sound" like the exact same fun sound is back? It's not about a playlist, it's about the "theme" simulated radio station WITH the music of your choice.

Was that really necessary JVC? If you don't agree, fine, but maybe troll somewhere else?
