Description
just some mockup screenshots for an ecco-inspired game idea i've long had that will probably never come to fruition but is still fun to think about. i wanted to try fleshing out the atmospheres of some of the theoretical levels. the art style fluctuated a bit but at the end of it i think i have a better idea of what i want.it's sort of a bummer because i think i have the skills to at least sufficiently do pretty much everything needed to craft a game except for straight up coding the thing. i can make graphics, models, music, and even animate if I try hard enough, but for the life of me i cannot wrap my head around putting a game together. like, THEORETICALLY i know how to do it, but when it comes to learning the actual language needed to tell the computer to achieve the thing, i'm dead in the water. so for now i am condemned to simply imaaagine~

This is gross perfection and I want this now or cry. :C
I fucking LOVE each frame, telling its own story and ambience, shiiiit!
So much mood for all! All I've wanted in a game. >A< <3
Cute as SHIT!
I adore all the lil phinnies and their patterns. :'|
I'm sad we could have other nice ecco related fangames, except they too need programming/code help. >:'C

Hey nik u know uve been absolute BOMBIN IT with the arts lately? Like wth all the time i see more and more awesome stuff from you pop up in my inbox and i LIKE IT a lot. These are so dope, and they so look like actual screenshots from an actual game. The atmosphere is wonderfully gloomy in all of them, the orca in panel 2 is ADORBS and I love your idea of sound-options (as it seems) in the upright corner. Echolocation in game is dope.
but i also feel the pain of reallyΒ wanting to make a thing but almost but not quiteΒ being able to do that thing by yourself. but imagining is also wonderful and your art isn't any less dope :')

BLESS U NAMS. i've actually just popped on to try and get a demo ready. i've been using Godot and I got the dolpho to swim in it and the collisions are way less shit than they were in the game maker one. I'M SO TIRED. but maybe if i keep learning i can at least semi-realise my vision. >:'C

thanks ;__; i know a bit of game maker already. i don't know how GMS2 is, but i was looking into engines that are a little more versatile. it's just that those ones are also above my skill level. it's something i really want to learn to do, though.

thank ~ <3

Oh my...this is beautiful!
What I wouldn't give to see a game like this become real. The aesthetic and concepts look gorgeous. ;w; Would make a great spiritual successor to Ecco if a genuine remake never comes to be. Or even if it does, actually.

i wish it were real too ;__; i may not be fit to make it myself but i will try to learn how to do it anyway.
thank yooou~~

Stop making me remember that I want another ecco/ecco style game!!! I constantly have to suppress these feelings!

This is so FRICKING cool!!! ;A; I love how each one has its own atmosphere and I can totally see this being a game. Maybe you can come across someone who codes and make a game, but yeah, I'm right there with you having an idea for a game but no idea how to pull it off. This really is so lovely though ~

THANKS ;__; honestly i'd artslave for someone who could codeslave for me. but hopefully one day i'll learn to do it myself

That would be incredible! ;0; I wish you luck β₯β₯β₯

Very pretty!
Also, take a look at Game Maker Studio. It's a software package specifically intended with designers who want to make a game in mind. While learning its custom programming language is needed if you want to do the most complicated stuff, it has a drag and drop system where you really can go "I've got THESE art assets and they should be able to do THIS".
I maaaaaaaaaaay be intending to do my own Ecco-inspired game in Game Maker Studio once I have the time (and once I buy the software... my free trial ran out). But I already made an Ecco-inspired version of the old Asteroids game (Ecco blasting Vortex with his sonar) just by following one of the many online tutorials.

funnily enough i actually do know a LITTLE BIT about how to use game maker, i've been using it since i was like, idk 11 or some shit. i even made a vaguely functional movement test demo for this very game. i like how simple GML is, but i really struggled with things like getting multiple hitboxes onto the character and getting collisions to work properly with the movement style. maybe those things are easier in game maker studio 2 but i don't feel like shelling out the cash right now.
atm i'm actually trying to learn how to use Godot, cause the language it uses seems like a weird middle point between gml and C# almost. also it is FREE. but its hard to find half decent tutorials and for the life of me i can not find out wtf this Vector2() shit means
NOOB WOES.
