Strange Loop Games cooperated with the University of Illinois on the creation of the game for some time. Production Įco was originally an educational tool designed purely for middle school students. It also encourages players to actively collaborate and work together with other players. Unlike other survival games, Eco does not have any combat between players or monsters, and there is no way for the player's character to die. They have the possibility to create currencies and establish an economy for trading, form a government and propose and vote on laws that can restrict what other players can do or give incentives to (not) do things by applying taxes or government grants to specific actions.
In order to prevent this from happening players have to create a working society.
For example, cutting too many trees reduces the amount of air pollution that can be mitigated, and creating too much pollution by using high tech machines can raise the sea level and species of plants or animals can become extinct if players harvest or hunt too much of them. Players have to care about a balanced nutrition and need to control the gathering of natural resources, otherwise negatively harming or destroying the environment. The game pushes players to reenact a sustainable lifestyle. It also features different biomes like forests, plains, and rivers, as well as several kinds of plants to harvest and animals to hunt.Įco is a multiplayer survival game that allows players to interact with both the world and each other. It is a small planet consisting of dirt, stone, and several other underground resources. The game world shares similarities to Earth. The task of the players is to research and improve the level of technology available to them in order to destroy the Asteroid before it strikes without harming the game world too much by resource exploitation or pollution. The game world in Eco is threatened with an impending meteor impact.
The game values a gentle use of natural resources and is used both as an entertainment and educational tool. Eco is a simulation game created by American studio Strange Loop Games, in which players have to work together to create a civilization on a virtual planet.
