Games are great at facilitating imagination reg. climate change. How to see a future & not give in to despair? There are tons of future to save & massive amounts of worth it; we need imagination & games can be utilised, check out the #GreenGameDesign website! www.greengamedesign.com/imagine-a-so...

What I love about the #greengamedesign website is the use cases demonstrating how different games have approached sustainability. This page on Regeneration & agroecology features @kamaeru.bsky.social wetland regeneration and @balancingmonkeygames.com use of ‘The Three Sisters’ polyculture! #gamedev

The first green messaging I remember from a video game was freeing the imprisoned forest animals from evil industrialist Dr Robotnik in Sonic. Good to see it featured on the new #GreenGameDesign website. Tons of top insights and examples there to check out.🌍🎮

The #GreenGameDesign site has a timely topic about "Inspire Collective Action". See the link and share thoughts. Can we show the consequences of uber-capitalism in a joyful way? Yes!

I'll share at GDC's renown Climate Crisis Workshop on Tuesday, March 18.

Finally, an intervention of my own on the #GreenGameDesign website! I love it when we can feature developers' own stories about their creations like this. This was a really simple step to get players thinking about the materiality of tech and games.

I'm thinking about how games deeply resonate with people and become potentially transformative, and one way I feel like they are able to do this is by creating a certain way to be in the world that includes embodied engagement. The energy, the vibe, the actions, like imaginal practice.
