The Creatures series used procedural music for their MNG format[1] starting with Creatures 2, but I don't know if it's backed by DirectMusic. It may be on Windows, but I never did any disassembly to check.
Regardless, thank you for posting something procedural which isn't backed by LLMs!

- robinduckett 2y agoIt is not backed by DirectMusic - the mng files just play wav files via whatever DirectSound equivalent for the platform (source files for the games are available in certain places)
- pushfoo 2y agoHello again, and thank you for checking! It's been a while since I've worked on anything Creatures-related. Are you still working on getting old things working on more recent platforms?
