Sounds like a plan! Currently my audio library doesn’t allow echoes, but I’m hoping on switching to XAudio which allows many such effects out of the box.

Awesome!

You could make it that when the PC enters an area marked ‘cave’ (or whatever) reverb and echo are added to the sounds.

That way you dont have to have too many differing sounds…

If that makes sense.

Your assumption is correct. The game calculates all of the distances of each visible soundscape area to the camera, and adjusts the volumes accordingly. So the sounds go smoothly while you move from your dark cave into the open forest.

Sounds pretty cool. I assume there’ll be some sort of fading for edges?
