Evolution of Among Ripples 2 Prototypes
Hello everyone! To celebrate that we've been working on Among Ripples 2 for around a year (in secret) I want to share this short clip of the three prototypes we've made since April, 2018.
As you can see the first prototype resembled the first game with "2d side-scroll view" but having tried it we felt it was limiting and went for a more classic tycoon approach with a 3d world. In the second prototype we achieved this and in the third we refined the game concepts and really tried to emulate the watercolour look we've always pushed for.
As usual, feel free to join the discussion on our Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/ecs
Have a nice weekend!

Latest Update on Among Ripples 2
Here's some news about the game. We're still in talks with several publishers and hope to sign something soon, this would bring a lot of stability the team has never seen before and we can develop the game in (relative) peace and quiet.
We did a mockup for the interface, it's a bit crowded, it will change a lot.
The base game would take place in Sweden but we wan't to add more campaigns set in other parts of the world. Here's new concept art for the Hebrides in Scotland.
Previously we also did concept art for the Red Sea and China.
We have begun early development on the proper game, so all of the actual content looks very unfinished. Within 8-10 months we hope to be at the same level as the prototype. Usually you build prototypes with duct tape and glue and it's not something you want to build a complete game on, so you basically start from scratch and use what you've learned.
Lastly I want to show you the life of pikes. the team added a first person camera to the animals before we wrapped up development on the prototype, you can't control it, but it looks very interesting imo!
We will be posting more of these on our social media, won't spam you here. And currently we have a poll on Twitter for which animal to do next.
The best place to follow development and interact with us right now is Discord, feel free to join.

Working on the Sequel Now
Hello everyone,
We're happy to announce that we're working on a sequel to Among Ripples now, and we want to hear from you what you want from it. The first game was mostly a small experiment, that's why we never charged for it. But since the game "blew up" on Steam with over 500 000 downloads and a lot of praise from you and press we felt that people want this kind of game. And now when we're done with Crest (we're releasing a big patch at the end of the month, but feature-wise it's complete) we want to explore a proper sequel for Among Ripples, to make the idea justice.
The new game is more like a traditional tycoon game with isometric perspective (the screenshot above was an early art test), but still the calm gameplay you like. Bigger and better, more play hours, things to explore and a campaign mode. We can't say anything more at the moment, it's really early in production and a lot will change.
Buuuut... join our Discord and follow the development of our new game, there's more "secrets" there. ;)

Stay tuned for more and thanks for your ongoing support!

Crest - an indirect god sim NOW AVAILABLE
Crest - an indirect god sim is now available on Steam for PC, Mac, Linux.
Welcome to Crest, an indirect god sim where the only way to interact with your followers is by issuing commandments written in a pictographic language.
How these commandments are interpreted and remembered is not set in stone. What you communicate and what experiences your followers have with the environment is the basis for their religion. Over time, commandments can develop different associations and completely change their meaning. After all, your followers still have free will and will sometimes do what they think is best for them, regardless of what you had in mind.
Consequences of your actions may not always be clear and you will need to be aware of the ever-changing environment and your people's disposition, amongst others their disposition towards you. Expressing yourself is the key of Crest; you will do so through your people and the world they shape.
We've been working on Crest for the past four years and would be really grateful if you'd take a look at it.
Thank you,
Eat Create Sleep
