Hi Dan, No, that makes perfect sense. I suppose once I get all the game mechanics etc in place I can play around with the environmental effects and see if I might add some echo where it would be useful. I know in Shades of Doom, for example, when you near a wall you here your footsteps echo. Its a nice indecation that a wall is coming up. I could probably add something similar for staircases and other objects that wouldn't necessarily make sound in and of themselves.
Cheers!
