Ecosystem Architect - launching into Steam Early Access in Q1 2026.

Hey everyone! After about a year and a half of our first release, EcoGenesis, being available on Steam, we are proud to announce a much more ambitous project that you might be interested in - Ecosystem Architect.

From the start, this is the game that we envisioned creating. As a two-person indie studio, it just wasn't possible without more exprience and know-how, both from a game development perspective and a business perspective. We were happy with what EcoGenesis accomplished in scope. It was always meant to be a 2D strategy/resource management game with a wildlife theme. We had a lot of fun developing it, and it has been awesome to see that there are people who have enjoyed it as well as used it as a tool for education and learning.
