Reminded me of Simon's Quest (the second NES Castlevania); I just kept drawing maps in a notebook--to no help AT ALL, I must say. :P Maps that unfold as you progress are the way to go, I guess. Anyway whenever I'm stuck I just drop the game for a couple weeks--the solution appears like magic in front of me when I get back with a fresh mind. :)
This guy has a background solid enough to allow him jumping onto ethnic/organic sounds for a FPS soundtrack AND still being successful. Awesome interview.
