The Horrific Beauty of the Ocean in Ecco the Dolphin

The Horrific Beauty of the Ocean in Ecco the Dolphin

Ecco the Dolphin was one of the first video games with something to say about the real world. It is often remembered for its beautiful art and music, but today I deep dive into why the game's genius design elevates the work into a masterpiece. Almost 30 years later the game industry can still learn lessons from Ecco the Dolphin.

Also in this episode I discuss how Ecco was the inspiration behind my upcoming cinematic fantasy audio series called The Moon Fish. Learn more about this project at themoon.fish.
