All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Players have until 9th September to fund it and those who pledge $20 will reserve a Steam key for the final game upon Eco's estimated launch in January 2017.Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth.

Prior to Eco Strange Loop Games made the the physics-based platformer Vessel as well as puzzlers Sim Cell, Codebreakers and Scribbly Wits. Since this is such a complex undertaking for any individual player to wrap their head around, ecological data for Eco will be visible for players, so the community will have an easy way to notice that, say, the bees are disappearing. If you want a bigger house, you'll have to pay a carpenter to build one for you and the payment will be held in escrow until completion. Unlike most games where players can only buy or sell items, Eco will allow players to buy and sell labour.
