Ecco the Dolphin creator turns to Kickstarter for spiritual sequel

Two decades after the launch of Ecco the Dolphin, creator Ed Annunziata is turning to Kickstarter to help fund a spiritual sequel.

Big Blue is a “next generation, underwater, action/adventure game by the original Ecco the Dolphin team.” It’ll offer exploration elements, quests, action puzzle solving, and “collection and spawning of life forms”. You’ll be able to control any creature in the game as well as multiple creatures at the same time, and you can count on being able to aquascape and populate your own sea, breed and multiply creatures, and more.

Annunziata hopes to fund $665,000 by April 29. Intitially, Big Blue will head to Mac, Windows, and iOS and Android platforms. But Annunziata also writes on Kickstarter:

“Once we are done with the first version of the game I will convince Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to embrace the game. We want the Big Blue everywhere.”
