Hello, I'm Leonard[videogameaudio.com] and I'm the audio director for Eco. I started working with Strange Loop Games in 2011 on Vessel and am happy to be back with the team again.

For version 0.9 we've been hard at work the past half year to improve and expand the audio content while also upgrading the existing audio system. The initial audio system for Eco was built using Unity and this has been entirely replaced by the Audiokinetic Wwise audio system. This new audio system allows us to move a lot faster when adding new content and includes many features not available in the regular Unity audio system.

Hello Eco citizens, today I’m going to talk about the super-fun world of Demographics.

I bet you didn’t know that demographics are fun. It sounds like a really boring word, probably. One of my favorite things about Eco though is that it connects things you think are boring to a wider system you’re engaged in, and suddenly they become fun. Taxes, for example, probably one of the least fun things there is, is one of our most interesting features. I once saw a server even implement parking tickets, which to me sounds incredibly fun.

The russian website mmozg.net released an (extremely) long article where it shows off our game in much detail, trying to answer the following five major questions:

1. What is Eco?
   
2. What was done good?
   
3. What was done bad?
   
4. What will be improved?
   
5. What won't be changed?

The authors did not only investigate and describe the game very in-depth, they also collected a lot of questions from the community and provided answers for them while also gathering and publishing opinions from several of our Eco developers.

In result they created an article that is a very recommendable read for new players, returning players and players actively playing right now that took lots of efforts to delve deep into our game.

Unfortunately we do not have a english translation at the moment, so the article i... Read more

Greetings all Eco citizens! This week’s blog will be presented by Eco dev Todd Glenn who works on game balance and helps with some of the design aspects of Eco. We will be focusing on updates to the technology tree, which is the progression of items in the game that players get through research and technology. We’ve added a ton of content with 9.0 with a few goals in mind: encourage more interaction between the professions, make advances in technological advancement feel more impactful, and expand on our end game content.
