Hi, Allan. Thanks, for the good feedback, and here is some comments of my own. As for temple size it was doubled for technical reasons. I was planning on doing more interesting stuff in the later levels that need a larger temple space. As for the issue with sounds sounds are based on the distance from player. So what is happening is you are hearing sounds through walls, and it is on the other side of the wall. you can get to them, but not through the wall. You have to get to them via the maze. There is a possible fix for this, but it is a total pain in the neck to do at this point. I'll probably wait until the engine and levels are pretty much stable and then work on some sort of update feature that turns sounds on and off based on the room or area you are in.
