For Tabletop RPG and LARPG Game Masters
Game masters and players of TTRPGs and LARPGs can now create a believable ambience of professional quality using an intuitive and very easy map editor. Transform your game room into an immersive entertainment space, stream live online, or export the sounds and use them with your favorite VTT platform or mobile player.
A New Way to Create Ambience
Discover a new way to create any ambience to match your campaigns, using an intuitive map editor and preset layers.
Echotopia goes beyond your typical ambience generator. Echotopia is a soundscape designer. And yet, Echotopia is easier to use and faster to create sound. This is because of Echotopia’s real-time acoustics simulation engine, which spreads the sound naturally upon your map.
Let your players enjoy the adventure from any point on the map, with natural believable sound.
Check the video to see how easy is to create a realistic medieval village soundscape.
"To me, as a DnD DM, the coolest thing about Echotopia is that I can take the world that I've built, and instead of just describing the area to my friends I can blow them away with the blending of all the sounds and effects into an immersive and cohesive whole. Every city and tavern can have its own personality and vibe without me needing to spend 10 minutes describing every little detail."

Liberate Your Storytelling
Don’t stay locked on old soundscape generators that make you choose one preset for a location, Echotopia’s revolutionary philosophy allows you to position your sounds on top of your maps freely and automatically calculates how everything around your explorers should sound in real-time.
Your players can explore each corner of your world and they will hear how that corner should sound immediately.
With the automatic calculation of distance, reverberation, and occlusion from walls, you can create hidden places and allow revealing sound cues if the players pass outside that hidden place. Try it, you’ll never go back!
Transform Your Game Room
We built Echotopia’s audio engine with storytellers and physical places in our minds.
Echotopia takes advantage of all your soundcard’s outputs in a unique way, unlike the classic surround setup which is made for people looking at a screen.
Use all your available outputs and speakers (up to eight channels currently) to set up sound curtains, sound fountains, and hidden corners that emit sound, transforming your game room (or living room) into an enchanted space to host your game sessions.
Echotopia’s real-time acoustics simulation can surround your players even using two speakers from a typical stereo setup.
Echotopia will automatically up-mix or down-mix any sound files you import and take advantage of your system’s available channels. Immersive audio without the hustle.
Export Your Soundscapes
Use Echotopia’s audio engine an intuitive tools to design your world’s soundscapes and then export them to use in other applications.
Populate your VTT platform of choice with realistic soundscapes that fit with the aesthetics of your story or use them in video editors and streaming applications to accompany your storytelling no matter which platform or authoring application you prefer.
Our mission is to bridge the chasm between storytelling enthusiasts and professional content creators, by making Echotopia the defacto application for soundscape design.

It all started when we decided not to make Echotopia a subscription-based product, but at the same time to offer our huge collection of royalty-free sound libraries with it.
We needed to find the best solution so that the user will not need to download hundreds of gigabytes in one go, and simultaneously use a service that doesn’t charge us per month. That way, Echotopia could remain a subscription-free product, just the way we like it.
The only way to do this was to create an online place where the user can browse all the content and choose what is needed and to put a limit on the times that each package can be downloaded.
A happy outcome of this philosophy is that this is also a green and eco-friendly way to manage downloads in general, as the user downloads only the needed assets. This minimizes the carbon footprint a lot, in contrast with other vendors that dump you a dropbox archive with unedited terabytes for you to download.
We fight against the mindless digital hoarding disorder that is menacing the internet, and we support mindful creators that care for more than themselves.
To save resources you should always back up the original downloads to a second hard drive, and never work on the original files.
