EcoGnomix has finally released!!!
This game has been such an amazing project to be part of!
Of course, working with Irox Games and Untold Tales has been amazingly fun and I couldn’t ask to be part of a better team!
But on top of that, I had the freedom to do some absolutely INSANE things for this game!
Including (but not limited to):
- Completely improvising 7 different scenes for collectible recordings, and improvising many lines in cutscenes and trailers!
- Hiring a professional whistler (shout out to Jeff Saxon!) for a few tracks
- Hiring Mariya Anastasova, one of the incredible vocalists from Baldur’s Gate 3, to sing on the track for the 2nd boss battle!
- Creating an absurd amount of the sound effects with my own voice, including chickens, deer, frogs, scorpions, lizards, gnomes, fairy mushrooms, beavers, chicken-tree hybrids, the beastly toad known as Toadoculus, the colossal sand worm known as Ancient Cactus Eater, various pops and other little sounds (and probably more things I’ve forgotten)
- Single-handedly performing all parts in a gnome choir
- And last but not least, recording a fight between an old man and a chicken, in which I play both roles
I’m so grateful to everyone for giving me the freedom to have so much fun during the development process, and have learnt SO much over the course of working on this game!
I’m also sure this game will serve as a great first step towards my goal of bringing more improvisation into the world of video game development!
So if you like what you hear, please tell me, ask me questions, get in touch!
If you don’t, please don’t hurt my very fragile ego. (I joke, constructive criticism is also very welcome!)
I have much of the improv and sound effect creation process filmed, and I hope (dream) that I’ll have the time to post more content about it in the near future.
But until then, please enjoy EcoGnomix!
