One of the best things about video games is that they are an art form.
Since most of the resources will be floating around in the code already, would it be plausible to have a few basic features such as a digital art gallery and jukebox/sound test mode included? These could also be tied to trophy/achievement support in a few creative ways. Unlocking the content can be a reward for boss revenge mode, alternate play-throughs, challenge runs, etc.
Potential trophy/ achievement names: Artisan, Conductor, Curator, etc.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Feedback?

Oooh, a nice follow-up to a thread I made a while back, wherein the community was pretty universal in their desire to see things like this.
I'm in a bit of an "other" category. I think Artwork and Music should be in galleries unlocked upon completion of the game, but I'd like the Bestiary to update in real-time as we encounter enemies. Staggering it out might not be a bad idea though: have the sound test unlocked upon beating any difficulty, but the art gallery requires NG+ or Nightmare, etc.
Collecting the art and music discs, I feel, would tip the game into collection overload: we've already got dozens and dozens of shards, crafting materials, weapons, armor sets, accessories, health/mana upgrades etc.
(PS. Don't worry about merging this or anything, the old thread served its purpose: we decided we want a gallery XD.)

Hey, I figured we may as well tackle the idea of both, since we got one. I missed the verdict on tha gallery, so I lumped it in. lol
But i'm glad that's a promised answer! now, it's a matter of "how" to tackle it.
There's a few cool ways to go about this, and I'd love to see concepts on if (how) we can get it done. Sound test mode would be a real throwback to those easter eggs you'd find by entering a certain name at the character name screen, doing things that shouldn't really do anything at all, accomplishing something incredibly difficult, etc.
Glad you like the idea too!

Yes, that would be amazing! It's one of the things I actually really liked about the Lords of Shadows games, finding art collections and then being able to gaze at the amazing concept art. They could make that even cooler by having some in game representation of said gallery. As for sound: I'd be all for a jukebox somewhere in the castle a la rougue legacy but it should only have songs available that you listened to during gameplay or cutscenes already. This would be even better than simply having a sound mode unlocked at the end of the first playthrough as it emphasizes collecting without actually having to collect anything.
