Still 4 more weeks to make a finished game that helps to "change the story" on climate!

During the last month I've found lot of inspiring resources! Specifically it's through the community of the IGDA Climate SIG. They've published this awesome document with lot's of research on how to make effective climate games.

It's inspiring finding a community of others trying to do the same thing!

A few months ago I participated in the Apocalypse game jam 2023 and my entry won several awards!

It's a short survival game reflecting some of my own feelings as a parent facing the climate crisis.

I developed a short game! This time for a game jam organized by the IGDA Climate SIG.

It's a short story about coping with heatwaves while having a baby. Inspired by real life events, so to speak. 🌎🔥
