Way back in 2008 I was approached by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe to do the character art for a Sony PSP game they were developing. It was going to be a strategic adventure game, akin to Phoenix Wright, where you’re President of the World and have to solve the World’s Climate Crisis.
Unfortunately the game was “temporarily” shelved so that its development team could focus on another project. And Ecomania stayed on that shelf, gathering dust in a comatose state, until years later when I was informed that the entire team had moved on from Sony and the project was officially dead.
The bright side of the project’s death is that I now have their blessing to show off some of the work I did. It was a fun project and my contacts there, Pete Giles and James Shepherd, were a pleasure to work with.
So enjoy this peek at some of the characters you would have interacted with if Ecomania had ever become a real video game.
