- Evolution of Among Ripples 2 Prototypes - 3 May 2019
https://i.imgur.com/0wf3qo5.gif 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! //Martin & ECS
- Latest Update on Among Ripples 2 - 12 April 2019
Hello everyone, 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. https://i.imgur.com/mS198AQ.png 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. https://i.imgur.com/8x6Klbn.jpg Previously we also did concept art for the Red Sea and China. https://i.imgur.com/JGwfiKl.png https://i.imgur.com/tJMUYTI.png 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…
- News - Possible Publisher In 2019 - 28 March 2019

Things are looking good for us, it's very likely we will sign with a publisher within the year, hopefully this summer. We also wanted to share this mockup render of how we want the final game to look like, what do you think? Also, if you missed our latest trailer here it is again! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tGtF5HAqjk Feel free to join our Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/ecs Stay tuned and take care! //Martin and ECS

- Working on the Sequel Now - 14 January 2019
https://i.imgur.com/uFYZXzb.png 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 reall…
