Since some people asked, I should probably mention that Pikmin Echo is just my goofy little Pikmin fanlore www.tumblr.com/descenacre I post art, lore and music for it here! Thank you for enjoying the music :)
@@BucketBoiAnimationsit would be a great experience to one day work with Nintendo on an official Pikmin title! I'll just keep studying until I get there!
Might just have to call this my single favorite piece of fanmade Pikmin music! Not only does it reference Wistful Wild, but it also adds some additional layers to the theme that are distinctly new to this fan concept, such as individual overlays for the new Pikmin types! It really reminds me of how the main-line games always did a little something to change up the music, such as Pikmin 4's layers for each individual enemy.
There's something really special about this. It's just a series of pikmin fanart images set to music but everything about this video has this weird ethereal feeling that makes it feel like a tiny glimpse into a way bigger world. There are consistent themes and design choices that make me picture a more somber, mysterious and alien pikmin world than the one nintendo chose to create. I dunno, it's really hard to describe why this video feels so meaningful, which is how you know you made something awesome lol
the entire pikmin series is my beloved, they have a special place in my heart-- but there's definitely something very unique about Pikmin 1 that has inspired a lot of my work-- I feel like it balances the themes of hope and love, and horror and death so delicately, making it a uniquely somber experience That feeling of lovely denizens of a somewhat frightful or terrifying world, who carry on, fight and survive with optimistic spirit is something I hope to learn how to execute very well one day, so I study as much as I can as I write my worlds I appreciate your comment very much :) thank you for listening!
LMFAO I didn't even realize they're literally pikpik carrots I based them on the roots of thistles, but it'd be funny to have olimar be like "ok forget what I said about the red ones these are literally just carrots"
Really beautiful work! love how it balances the feeling of being stranded out on a largely unexplored and dangerous planet where death can come at a moments notice, the staggering beauty and mystery of the very same world, and the optimism, hope and will to keep going for the sake of others that invigorates Olimar and all of the other protagonists in their perilous journeys. Also, I ADORE each Pikmin type having their own segments, it’s just fantastic and helps give them more personality. The stunning visuals just tie this whole thing together and make it really seem like a segment into a greater world, IT’S JUST SO GOOD AND OOZING WITH PASSION THIS DESERVES SO MANY MORE VIEWS AND LIKES
I wish I had the words. This video captures a feeling that I can't describe. Dynamic music is one of my most favorite things. I adore the idea you had for after a big fight, the bass continues to simulate the pounding in your chest. That idea can be pushed and played with a lot. The active Thorn Pikmin might be my favorite "dynamic piece", when it comes to the Pikimins individual "motifs", or however you'd word it. All of their themes coming together is also beautiful. 4:55 is a favorite part of mine, up until it transitions to the next area. It's great. And then comes sunset... Moving backwards through everything is visually wonderful. 9:07 is my absolute favorite part. It gets me every time. I wish it was longer. It gives me a shiver up my spine, and it wants to take me far away... The visual effects in this video are very well done. Keep making the things you make. This is astonishing.
What a beautiful theme. Combined with the context of the close captions you could tell how much effort went into this video. Thanks so much for making this amazing piece of art!
This gives me so much inspiration istg! 🤯🤩🥳 Words can’t even begin to describe how much I love listening to this! This gives me hope that maybe someday, I can make Pikmin music too. Thank you for making this, you are truly talented!
Autumnal areas in Pikmin always tend to be my favorites, so by default I love this concept, but the you throw in Wistful Wild leitmotifs, and I'm hooked. Great stuff; reminds me of the first Pikmin in terms of its somber atmosphere. Edit: Also thank goodness, I'm not the only one who saw that waving Candy Pikmin artwork and immediately thought "Chao" ^_^;
this is beautiful!!!! i love the vibes here and honestly i think they work rly well with this area, and then the harmony of the pikmin themes!! just a very nice relaxing melody with some hints of intrigue and curiosity like hmmmmm plus their designs are so cute!! i love the lily pikmin :3
Thank you so much!!! Yeah :) I was thinking of the places we used to gather firewood when drawing that spot, it was definitely fun to draw that area :) and YEAH Stag beetles are incredible!!! @@dontlikecheeseburgers
awwwww thats so cool!!! makes it even better honestly, just like connecting it to ur own memories adds a lot, theres a lot of places ive been that i feel would be good for pikmin areas too :D@@Descenacre
5:31 just by looking at this art sort of reawakens a feeling of unknown nostalgia to me, I don't know how to describe it, but it makes me inspired... Subscriber earned!
aaah, I really appreciate it!! Yeah, it was funny, when I started that visual I was scared it would never come together wip: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/875746926279139399/1145425565646590102/image.png but after about an hour or so it started to come together and I was able to make it look just how I imagined it! Thank you for listening :)
This is brilliantly done: I absolutely adore the eerie etherial charm you've put into this. Your use of string layers and piano is absolutely gorgeous and this whole video stands as a rich and deeply satisfying artpiece. You should be very proud of the overall complexity and beauty of this composition!
There is something I really love about this video, it feels very nostalgic listening to the music. I love the bits of wistful wild i can hear out. The drawings also feel like something I would have thought about pre Pikmin 3, imagining a new area with a large open world to explore. All these set pieces you could interact with and expand your reach with, coming back to the area with new Pikmin types. There really hasn't been a video that has gotten me into nostalgia like this ever. It takes me back to when I played Pikmin for the first time back when I was 4 (Pikmin 2 for the Wii specifically). I loved thinking of going outside of the explorable areas and seeing the world around that area. The drawing on the thorn Pikmin active part really gave that feeling. I really hope this would be turned into a game.
this only being at 13k views is an actual crime this genuinely tops most of the official pikmin area OSTs the way each and every variation creates the exact vibe it needs to i’m not literate enough to express how good this is thank you
Thank you so much!! I'm honestly surprised it's at 13k, normally I get like 100ish views on my things I'm glad everyone enjoys it :) thanks for listening!
This is so beautiful!! I live the depth in each layer! Thw working theme is my favorite, and typically is with most Pikmin songs. This song is much softwr than the other Pikmin songs (at least for tge ones I listen to) but it fits the Pikmin vibe PERFECTLY! And the callback to the Wistful Wild theme is sooo good!! I would love for this project to be fully realized as its own game. The quality of this music shows the passion put into this project, and I love it.
There’s something sooooo ………… just _gentle_ and _soothing_ in this, like a _calm_ journeys end with greeting new and old companions for the final adventure, there’s something truly _magical_ about this
Dear god.... Its beautiful. I was expecting something good, but this caught me off guard. are you making a game with this? also, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!!! I don't think I could make an entire fangame for it but it would be cool to make something with it! I post about it on my Tumblr @ "descenacre", just art, music or lore whenever I feel like it I appreciate that you liked it!
genuinely incredible, i got randomly recommended this and immediately got extremely intrigued! i love everything here! now i just gotta re-watch it with captions hehe
Thank you very much for your comment! I just noticed the 🎶 next to your username, so I'm going to listen to the space cat lullaby tracks you have there while I take my morning walk today. Thank you for listening!
If this doesn't become a game or at least a mod, you and Wooden Turtle should seriously consider making this a series. I feel like this would thrive cinematically more than it would in the form of a game.
Esto se sintió relajante, pero extraño por lo inusual que sería el concepto de esta zona. Es casi como si fuera sacado de uno de los sueños raros que tengo a veces.
Aprecio mucho tu comentario :) Hice esto a medianoche, después de despertar de un sueño tan vívido al respecto, así que podría ser por eso! Los sueños son muy importantes para mi proceso creativo. gracias de nuevo ^_^

Criminally underrated for the amount of quality and work on display here. I really like the Thorn Pikmin layer! Is this just a personal project, or is there more to Pikmin Echo? Eitherway, this is a wonderful listen.
It's just a fun personal lore of mine :) I post about it on my Tumblr @ "descenacre" I just make what I want about it in the moment, whether art, music or writing, no long term projects planned at the moment
@@Descenacre Noted! I like how you reworked the green pikmin to be more unique. I think i'll check that out, im curious what candy pikmin do! Cool stuff, really enjoyed this
wasent expecting to find this today, anyways i loved every seccond of it and i was wondering if you were gona make more music for your other areas, and if so you should make then youtube live premeres because hype
I have made a few more songs(not for the other areas yet, but for other special things in the story like Twilight, or encountering a Night Wraith)! But animation/making visuals takes a lot of time and effort, so most likely it will either be a long time till I can post them, or the videos will be more simplified than this one -- this video probably took the most effort out any of the other videos on my channel(except for like, the battle for darkness vs light or the Chiptune Collab Album videos) Stay tuned! I am just one guy so it may be awhile hee hee
A few decades of experience! Music is really fun :) I used FL Studio and Sampletank 4! The first one is an audio workstation that lets you make music on your computer, the second one is a kit full of instruments like piano, violin, choirs, etc Those two cost about $200 each, but that's all the paid software I use. The rest is mostly free instruments like Surge XT, or built in ones like FPC! If you want to make music for free though, the FL studio demo is free :) thanks for asking!
i love these songs, these fan games, and the pikmin. just gonna plop my pikmin idea here and go back to vibing Burrowing pikmin - appearance resembles a sheargrub, but brown and a pikmin leaf; orange flower When plucked, it digs into the ground and stays burrowed, following you underground with dirt fx above it. Takes longer to throw (you have to pull it out of the ground) and can't latch onto enemies. When rushed, they rush underground and pop out under their target, stunning them. doesn't work on flying enemies, obviously. Carrying power of 1, but carries slower. Might seem OP but the downside is that any creature that burrows out of the ground will burrow back in and eat the burrowing pikmin very quickly: burrowing pikmin cannot defend themselves.
Unfortunately, not in the foreseeable future, I got many other things I want to make, stories I want to tell, and not enough free time for it all, sadly! I'm glad you enjoyed it, though :)
I would kill for a pikmin game to have big, industrial structures as either part of an area, or even just overlooking the area in the skybox. It’s beautiful in a strange way As well as just an area taking place in one of those areas that are just golden, rolling plains…
@@tenebroise6633 I've always loved the quiet sadness that acts as the backdrop for the cutesy adventure it's my favorite part of the atmosphere design in the Pikmin series in general
@CananaMan I agree with you there, it drummed up a lot of activity and interest In the pikmin modding community. There's a lot of great projects both released and in the works.
@@Descenacrei actually had a few enemy concepts them being 1. Bulboar - A bulborb that has adapted thorn like spikes around the back of its body and has increased eyesight. Just like the Bulbear, the Bulboar is active during the day when hunting, but it’s a nocturnal sleeper. Its enhanced eyes make it a more persistent and intelligent hunter able to chase down and spot prey for longer distances, also if it can’t get to any pikmin behind a wall, it’ll try to find a way around and get the element of surprise 2. Confectionery Dweevil - A candy colored Dweevil that smells sweet, but this little bugger loves to cause problems. When threatened, it will fire off a sticky gum like substance that temporarily gets pikmin in a sticky situation. Before it scurries away. 3. Spelunking Sheargrub - this breed of Sheargrub, are mostly blind and rely on sound, large numbers, teamwork, and movement to overwhelm their prey. They dig underground and attempt to jump out at their prey to snatch them up before tunneling back underground, they appear large groups of 15-16 but swarming them is their one weakness, causing them to be unable to escape while the pikmin clobber them into defeat
Oboe is such a lovely instrument! It, the saxophone and the violin are three instruments I'd love to learn how to use one day :) All orchestral sounds here are sequenced in Sampletank 4, but nothing beats a live performance haha
Theory:these pikmin are native to forests that have humid conditions, they work just like normal pikmin but when out of their environment they act like pikmin ai form the first game due to the environment being a little dry. They however cannot go to deserts as they are like amphibians. When normal pikmin enter their environment they become pikmin 1 ai. Sub-species of blue and pre-evolved yellow pikmin.
They are evolved from/are related to the main trio, ye! Candies came from an adaptation created by a fusion of Red and Blue onions, (Reds dominant) Lilies came from a Blue and Yellow onion's combination long ago, (Blues dominant) and the Thorn's onion is an evolution of what came from a Yellow and Red onion's fusion. (Yellows dominant) With the Lily Pikmin specifically, you're right on the money! They are unique in that they don't flower using nectar-- they flower by swimming in water instead. When they are on dry land, they devolve back into "bud" form, then back to "leaf" form if they're out of the water for too long. They're at their strongest in the water, swimming faster than any of the other types, and gaining a massive 30x carry strength when submerged! but they're much weaker than blues on dry land--their attack strength is hampered by the fact that they don't have long stems like their brothers.
@@whitepikmin21 Not for awhile, I got a lot of other projects to work on, unfortunately with my wrists acting up I have kinda limited time to work with so I have to prioritize the projects I want to do the most There's a lot more on the Tumblr in the pinned comment if you're interested (music, art, lore) but other than that it's p much shelved till I'm better off financially+physically ^_^ Thank you for your interest, regardless
This area is called "The Wild Edge". It's an extension of The Final Trial, and there are 4 other areas before it as well: The Tearful Grotto (extension of the Impact Site) The Thicket of Light (extension of the Forest of Hope), The Forgotten Pond (extension of the Distant Spring), and The Belly of the Planet (extension of the Forest Navel). I have a piece about the Tearful Grotto on the tumblr, if you were interested! www.tumblr.com/descenacre/729279466855120896/what-is-the-first-boss-of-pikmin-echo
K just read your tumblr post very interesting but I have a few question 1 what would happen if you decide to stay on the planet when Pikmin get left behind would they join you 2 in one of your post you said that thorn Pikmin could build wooden structures does that mean all Pikmin can build wooden structures are the structures for defense 3 what’s up with the markings olimar got?
If you stay on the planet, the pikmin in your party will go to their Onions, but the pikmin left behind will be eaten by the monsters of twilight You don't have any Pikmin with you but the Star Pikmin at twilight. Thorn Pikmin are faster at building the things like the climbing poles, bridges and other wooden structures like that. They can also build climbable walls, and build thorned fence gates that you can open and close in order to temporarily wall areas off from enemies He got those markings when he landed on the planet. He doesn't know where they came from, but they're hidden all over the planet, especially the Wild Edge...
To answer 1: aww that’s unfortunate Answer 2: okay I though you could use resources to build up walls around the dolphin to help protect it Answer 3: so it’s a mystery
if i didn't have a full time job and a bajillion other responsibilities, I would love to program it as a 2.5d isometric game for practice, that's how I imagine it in my head lol as for now in my head it shall stay 🤭
I’m shocked… normally I need to hear at least one “skibidi dop dop dop yes yes” per video for me to like or pay attention to it… yet I still love this video…. Erm- Pibby Glitch much?! 😂 you, sir, have won the internet for today!!! 😂
@@Jams_and_Jars ye, just credit my UA-cam with a link (either on the download page, or in the video description, wherever you like) and if you have it, message me on discord when it's done so I can see what you made! (@canana)
Hey so I tried to look at your tumblr to learn more about your cool fanlore but for some stupid reason the scrolling on Tumblr just does not work and I can't scroll down through all your content at all, any chance you could upload a video of everything you've worked on on your youtube account or something?
Oh huh! I wonder why it's not working, I heard other people having issues on mobile... Did you try looking at particular tags, like www.tumblr.com/descenacre/tagged/pikmin%20echo or more specific ones www.tumblr.com/descenacre/tagged/ship%20parts www.tumblr.com/descenacre/tagged/pikmin%20area www.tumblr.com/descenacre/tagged/echo%20twilight ? For me also, I have more luck using the browser page than the mobile app, but ymmv, i don't know what's going on with it all Sorry to hear there's problems with it!
Hopefully something works-- I don't have any plans at the moment to bring most of the tumblr stuff to youtube outside of the music, since video editing takes a pretty large chunk of effort unfortunately!
@@Descenacre I see, well I managed to figure out what the problem was, for some reason some sort of log in wall thing was showing up suddenly and changing the url while also preventing me from scrolling, but I managed to figure out a fix for that using the tampermonkey app
Sorry for the late response, but yeah! Just credit my UA-cam with a link (either on the download page, or in the video description, wherever you like) and if you have it, message me on discord when it's done so I can see ! (@canana)
These Pikmin come mixed in with the regular Pikmin-- The order of discovery is: Reds in the Tearful Grotto Yellows, then Thorns in the Thicket of Light Lilies in the Forgotten Pond Blues in the Belly of the Planet Candies in the Tearful Grotto (need water pikmin to access)
In this rearrangement of the first pikmin game, It's an extension of the Final Trial-- When you defeat the Emporer Bulblax, its death crushes the nearby wall, allowing you to access the rest of the area Since the Final Trial and the Wistful Wild are linked in shape somewhat, it does take inspiration from both areas :)
I also have a boss idea for the area *Man-Of-The-Woods* Basically a forest version of the Man-At-Legs where it uses sticks, plants, rocks and mud as armor and shoots pebbles out of a wooden cannon, in a similar way like the Gatling Groink
There's a pinned comment that takes you to my Tumblr, with lots of lore for the individual little guys and some enemies too! in summary though, Thorn guys can take down thorned objects and climb walls, Lilies can float, unlike Blues, who sink, allowing them to cross Chasms, and Candy Pikmin have a lot of Nectar related powers-- including being able to take down sugar glass walls, and rebuild them into bridges!
Sorry for the late response, but yeah! Just credit my UA-cam with a link (either on the download page, or in the video description, wherever you like) and if you have it, message me on discord when it's done so I can see ! (@canana)
It came out about 9 days ago! (It's not a real game or mod, there's no plans to make a project at the moment, just a fun little fanlore I'm messing with)
When I was really little, I didn't know Pikmin 2 existed already, so this was originally supposed to be a fan Pikmin 2! so, the story was built off of what happened on Pikmin 1. I've updated a few things about it (like changing the Candy Pikmin to be pink instead of purple, so they don't get confused with purples) but it's mostly still just my childhood fan story lol

@@Descenacre aw, thank you! that means alot!
Thank you for reminding me to turn Captions off at the start!
No problem! I figured it'd be a fun extra layer , while still functioning as captions for the onscreen text :)
Yo pikmin 5 be looking crazy
If this doesn't become a game or at least a mod, you and Wooden Turtle should seriously consider making this a series. I feel like this would thrive cinematically more than it would in the form of a game.
THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! Words cant describe hiw much I love this song!
@@AnAveragePurplePikmin wonderful pfp
@@Descenacre Thank you very much your Mole Wizards looks good too
man i wish canana will be famous bc all her/his artworks
This was just really good! I would honestly love a pikmin game, in the style of this art, it would be beautiful!
Wow the effort put into every image
Thank you :)
I like to come here when I need a break from everything else
This is beautiful, no other way to describe it
Thank you :)
Esto se sintió relajante, pero extraño por lo inusual que sería el concepto de esta zona. Es casi como si fuera sacado de uno de los sueños raros que tengo a veces.
Aprecio mucho tu comentario :)
Hice esto a medianoche, después de despertar de un sueño tan vívido al respecto, así que podría ser por eso!
Los sueños son muy importantes para mi proceso creativo.
gracias de nuevo ^_^

No prob!
I love the pikmen design and I would love to know more about them
Edit: I just noticed the pined comment and another thing I love music to I hope a lot of people see this video
Thank you for checking it out!!
I wish this was a real game, this is so pretty, I keep coming back to listen to it again😭💕💕💕
This is so good
I love all the pikmin!
Criminally underrated for the amount of quality and work on display here. I really like the Thorn Pikmin layer!
Is this just a personal project, or is there more to Pikmin Echo?
Eitherway, this is a wonderful listen.
It's just a fun personal lore of mine :)
I post about it on my Tumblr @ "descenacre"
I just make what I want about it in the moment, whether art, music or writing, no long term projects planned at the moment
@@Descenacre Noted! I like how you reworked the green pikmin to be more unique. I think i'll check that out, im curious what candy pikmin do!
Cool stuff, really enjoyed this
tiered battle music is actually a really neat idea
Its so beautiful!
wasent expecting to find this today, anyways i loved every seccond of it and i was wondering if you were gona make more music for your other areas, and if so you should make then youtube live premeres because hype
I have made a few more songs(not for the other areas yet, but for other special things in the story like Twilight, or encountering a Night Wraith)!
But animation/making visuals takes a lot of time and effort, so most likely it will either be a long time till I can post them, or the videos will be more simplified than this one -- this video probably took the most effort out any of the other videos on my channel(except for like, the battle for darkness vs light or the Chiptune Collab Album videos)
Stay tuned! I am just one guy so it may be awhile hee hee
HOW DID YOU MAKE IT SO GOOD?!?
A few decades of experience! Music is really fun :)
I used FL Studio and Sampletank 4!
The first one is an audio workstation that lets you make music on your computer, the second one is a kit full of instruments like piano, violin, choirs, etc
Those two cost about $200 each, but that's all the paid software I use.
The rest is mostly free instruments like Surge XT, or built in ones like FPC!
If you want to make music for free though, the FL studio demo is free :) thanks for asking!
Makes sense
this OST is fire
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love these songs, these fan games, and the pikmin.
just gonna plop my pikmin idea here and go back to vibing
Burrowing pikmin - appearance resembles a sheargrub, but brown and a pikmin leaf; orange flower
When plucked, it digs into the ground and stays burrowed, following you underground with dirt fx above it.
Takes longer to throw (you have to pull it out of the ground) and can't latch onto enemies.
When rushed, they rush underground and pop out under their target, stunning them. doesn't work on flying enemies, obviously.
Carrying power of 1, but carries slower.
Might seem OP but the downside is that any creature that burrows out of the ground will burrow back in and eat the burrowing pikmin very quickly: burrowing pikmin cannot defend themselves.
Visualizing a poor soul watching their burrowing Pikmin count dropping as they realize they walked into the home of a snagret without paying attention
@@Descenacre waterwraith 2
@@constantspider oh just wait till you see how the waterwraith works in my world hee hee hee
Could you possibly make this into a Pikmin mod? It would be very interesting to see this in a game!
Unfortunately, not in the foreseeable future,
I got many other things I want to make, stories I want to tell, and not enough free time for it all, sadly!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, though :)
@@Descenacrefair, hopefully someone else makes a Pikmin game based off of this.
You would be okay with that, right?
woooooooa
I would kill for a pikmin game to have big, industrial structures as either part of an area, or even just overlooking the area in the skybox. It’s beautiful in a strange way
As well as just an area taking place in one of those areas that are just golden, rolling plains…
@@tenebroise6633 I've always loved the quiet sadness that acts as the backdrop for the cutesy adventure
it's my favorite part of the atmosphere design in the Pikmin series in general
@descenacre
me tooooo! We are immediately buddies.
Really cool. Makes me sad that new fortune was canceled.
Maybe the real fortune was the new pikpals we met along the way
@CananaMan I agree with you there, it drummed up a lot of activity and interest In the pikmin modding community. There's a lot of great projects both released and in the works.
Wow thats cool!!
Thank you!
God damn pikmin 5 looking good
I love the dopey look of the Thorn Pikmin.
asymmetrical character design my beloved
@@Descenacrei actually had a few enemy concepts them being
1. Bulboar
- A bulborb that has adapted thorn like spikes around the back of its body and has increased eyesight. Just like the Bulbear, the Bulboar is active during the day when hunting, but it’s a nocturnal sleeper. Its enhanced eyes make it a more persistent and intelligent hunter able to chase down and spot prey for longer distances, also if it can’t get to any pikmin behind a wall, it’ll try to find a way around and get the element of surprise
2. Confectionery Dweevil
- A candy colored Dweevil that smells sweet, but this little bugger loves to cause problems. When threatened, it will fire off a sticky gum like substance that temporarily gets pikmin in a sticky situation. Before it scurries away.
3. Spelunking Sheargrub
- this breed of Sheargrub, are mostly blind and rely on sound, large numbers, teamwork, and movement to overwhelm their prey. They dig underground and attempt to jump out at their prey to snatch them up before tunneling back underground, they appear large groups of 15-16 but swarming them is their one weakness, causing them to be unable to escape while the pikmin clobber them into defeat
Pretty
Dope
Ty :)
@@Descenacre ho no i thank you
Have U watched "Pikmin Hybrids"? Pikmin fanz R talking aboutthat video. (Do not forget abowt the special offer the creator left in the description.)
7:00 - My favorite part
@@ЗамечательныйКанал-у6ш i loved drawing all the little panicked Pikmin there
holy guac this is awesome i love it what the heck
I really appreciate it!! :)
As an oboeist, I liked the oboe
Oboe is such a lovely instrument!
It, the saxophone and the violin are three instruments I'd love to learn how to use one day :)
All orchestral sounds here are sequenced in Sampletank 4, but nothing beats a live performance haha
I dont know why but this song just gives ne the idea of an open world pikmin game
when I first made up Pikmin Echo back like over a decade ago, it was an open world idea!
Now it's split into 5 areas, but they're still pretty big
@@Descenacre very cool 👍
Theory:these pikmin are native to forests that have humid conditions, they work just like normal pikmin but when out of their environment they act like pikmin ai form the first game due to the environment being a little dry. They however cannot go to deserts as they are like amphibians. When normal pikmin enter their environment they become pikmin 1 ai.
Sub-species of blue and pre-evolved yellow pikmin.
They are evolved from/are related to the main trio, ye!
Candies came from an adaptation created by a fusion of Red and Blue onions, (Reds dominant)
Lilies came from a Blue and Yellow onion's combination long ago, (Blues dominant)
and the Thorn's onion is an evolution of what came from a Yellow and Red onion's fusion. (Yellows dominant)
With the Lily Pikmin specifically, you're right on the money!
They are unique in that they don't flower using nectar-- they flower by swimming in water instead.
When they are on dry land, they devolve back into "bud" form, then back to "leaf" form if they're out of the water for too long.
They're at their strongest in the water, swimming faster than any of the other types, and gaining a massive 30x carry strength when submerged!
but they're much weaker than blues on dry land--their attack strength is hampered by the fact that they don't have long stems like their brothers.
Cool to see some fresh juicy fandom pikmin lore!
When are we getting more of this masterpiece?
@@whitepikmin21 Not for awhile, I got a lot of other projects to work on, unfortunately with my wrists acting up I have kinda limited time to work with so I have to prioritize the projects I want to do the most
There's a lot more on the Tumblr in the pinned comment if you're interested (music, art, lore) but other than that it's p much shelved till I'm better off financially+physically ^_^
Thank you for your interest, regardless
nice
Is it okay to use this on a youtube video? if not i understand. its very lovely.
Just credit me with a link to this video in your description and you sure can! Thank you for asking :)
Would love to see this being adapted into an actual mod
ah damn, now I feel silly for not checking if there was cc, oh well, I guess I gotta rewatch it again ;)
You're good! The closed captions tell you to watch without CC first anyway, it's intended for repeat watches
@@Descenacre indeed they did, great vid by the way. Loved everything about it from the art to music and the commentary. Keep up the great work
I really love the vibe of this area what’s it called and are their more?
This area is called "The Wild Edge".
It's an extension of The Final Trial,
and there are 4 other areas before it as well:
The Tearful Grotto (extension of the Impact Site)
The Thicket of Light (extension of the Forest of Hope),
The Forgotten Pond (extension of the Distant Spring),
and The Belly of the Planet (extension of the Forest Navel).
I have a piece about the Tearful Grotto on the tumblr, if you were interested!
www.tumblr.com/descenacre/729279466855120896/what-is-the-first-boss-of-pikmin-echo
Im very interested thanks
K just read your tumblr post very interesting but I have a few question
1 what would happen if you decide to stay on the planet when Pikmin get left behind would they join you
2 in one of your post you said that thorn Pikmin could build wooden structures does that mean all Pikmin can build wooden structures are the structures for defense
3 what’s up with the markings olimar got?
If you stay on the planet, the pikmin in your party will go to their Onions,
but the pikmin left behind will be eaten by the monsters of twilight
You don't have any Pikmin with you but the Star Pikmin at twilight.
Thorn Pikmin are faster at building the things like the climbing poles, bridges and other wooden structures like that.
They can also build climbable walls, and build thorned fence gates that you can open and close in order to temporarily wall areas off from enemies
He got those markings when he landed on the planet. He doesn't know where they came from, but they're hidden all over the planet, especially the Wild Edge...
To answer 1: aww that’s unfortunate
Answer 2: okay I though you could use resources to build up walls around the dolphin to help protect it
Answer 3: so it’s a mystery
Id pay for a full mod of this, I adore this soundtrack
Ah, the dream, being able to accept payment for making a Pikmin mod without getting struck with a C&D, crippling settlement and NDA LMFAO
Thank you!!
@@Descenacre No, thank YOU for making this OST!
I could so see this as a 2.5D Pikmin game
if i didn't have a full time job and a bajillion other responsibilities, I would love to program it as a 2.5d isometric game for practice, that's how I imagine it in my head lol
as for now in my head it shall stay 🤭
I feel like this would be good as a Pikmin animation series too
I’m shocked… normally I need to hear at least one “skibidi dop dop dop yes yes” per video for me to like or pay attention to it… yet I still love this video…. Erm- Pibby Glitch much?! 😂 you, sir, have won the internet for today!!! 😂
I may not be from Ohio, but I was able to rizz your eardrums, and that's based, and all I could ask for
In the near future, is it okie if I can use this soundtrack in my own way [???]
@@Jams_and_Jars ye, just credit my UA-cam with a link (either on the download page, or in the video description, wherever you like) and if you have it, message me on discord when it's done so I can see what you made! (@canana)
We need some one to make this a mod for pikmin 3
Hey so I tried to look at your tumblr to learn more about your cool fanlore but for some stupid reason the scrolling on Tumblr just does not work and I can't scroll down through all your content at all, any chance you could upload a video of everything you've worked on on your youtube account or something?
Oh huh! I wonder why it's not working, I heard other people having issues on mobile...
Did you try looking at particular tags, like
www.tumblr.com/descenacre/tagged/pikmin%20echo
or more specific ones
www.tumblr.com/descenacre/tagged/ship%20parts
www.tumblr.com/descenacre/tagged/pikmin%20area
www.tumblr.com/descenacre/tagged/echo%20twilight
?
For me also, I have more luck using the browser page than the mobile app, but ymmv, i don't know what's going on with it all
Sorry to hear there's problems with it!
Hopefully something works--
I don't have any plans at the moment to bring most of the tumblr stuff to youtube outside of the music, since video editing takes a pretty large chunk of effort unfortunately!
@@Descenacre I see, well I managed to figure out what the problem was, for some reason some sort of log in wall thing was showing up suddenly and changing the url while also preventing me from scrolling, but I managed to figure out a fix for that using the tampermonkey app
Is it ok if I use this music for my Pikmin fangame? Il at least use it for placeholders ( I won't RELASE the game with it )
Sorry for the late response, but yeah!
Just credit my UA-cam with a link (either on the download page, or in the video description, wherever you like) and if you have it, message me on discord when it's done so I can see ! (@canana)
Okay but why do I feel like lily pikmin could use their stem for a umbrella
are these primitive pikmins or do they come long after the red yellow and blues?
These Pikmin come mixed in with the regular Pikmin--
The order of discovery is:
Reds in the Tearful Grotto
Yellows, then Thorns in the Thicket of Light
Lilies in the Forgotten Pond
Blues in the Belly of the Planet
Candies in the Tearful Grotto (need water pikmin to access)
@CananaMan that is awesome! Will there be some sort of a lore episode in the future?
I've been mostly posting lore about it on the tumblr linked in the pinned comment but if I animate another video, it'd be posted here!
I'd like to think this place is close to or a sub section of The Wistful Wilds
In this rearrangement of the first pikmin game,
It's an extension of the Final Trial--
When you defeat the Emporer Bulblax, its death crushes the nearby wall, allowing you to access the rest of the area
Since the Final Trial and the Wistful Wild are linked in shape somewhat, it does take inspiration from both areas :)
I also have a boss idea for the area
*Man-Of-The-Woods*
Basically a forest version of the Man-At-Legs where it uses sticks, plants, rocks and mud as armor and shoots pebbles out of a wooden cannon, in a similar way like the Gatling Groink
Whats the art style? Its so beautiful!!
It's just my artstyle! I draw using an aliased brush in paint dot net
@@Descenacrewell it's amazing!
What do all these new types do?
There's a pinned comment that takes you to my Tumblr, with lots of lore for the individual little guys and some enemies too!
in summary though, Thorn guys can take down thorned objects and climb walls,
Lilies can float, unlike Blues, who sink, allowing them to cross Chasms, and Candy Pikmin have a lot of Nectar related powers-- including being able to take down sugar glass walls, and rebuild them into bridges!
@@Descenacre Cool! I'll take a look.
I would like to use this on a td game im doing what its basically a pikmin fangame btw
Sorry for the late response, but yeah!

Is that pikmin 5 ?!
When I was really little, I didn't know Pikmin 2 existed already, so this was originally supposed to be a fan Pikmin 2!
so, the story was built off of what happened on Pikmin 1.
I've updated a few things about it (like changing the Candy Pikmin to be pink instead of purple, so they don't get confused with purples) but it's mostly still just my childhood fan story lol
Wo is this boss
Okay
Who is this boss
Aren't the winged pikmin the pink pikmin?
I made this lore in 2008ish!
Pikmin 3 wasn't out yet, and I hadn't played Pikmin 2 yet lol
What’s pikmin echov
It's just my little fanlore of Pikmin :)
