Based on what the clients asked for, I started thinking of some game ideas.
- Sim city-esque game
- Design a carbon neutral city
- Look at actual cities that are very industrialized and/or have very large carbon footprints
- Look at actual laws and solutions that can be implemented in to reduce it
- Get money through mini games to then implement carbon reducing systems or laws
- Redesign carbon footprint calculator to be more geared toward student life.
- Recycling (beer cans and such lol)
- Coffee cups (reusable)
- Changing cafeteria habits
- Don’t use a tray
- Don’t get more than you can eat
- Dorm habits
- Changing thermostat
- Water usage
- Electricity usage
- Ask them question about their lifestyle. Then, based on that answer tell them how they can improve upon that, and tell them the direct impact they are having on the environment by making that change. (Personal responsibility)
- Maze game with questions about the environment (possibly facts rather than questions?)
- Sort sort of apocalyptic story in which you are on an environmentally ravaged planet and it’s your job to get it back to normal.
- Myst-esque exploratory game where you look for clues to see how the planet got to the way it did and how they could have prevented it.
- Add moral conflict and personal responsibility to anything and everything
- Burning trees cascading down in the background as timer of sorts? Or a planet that is corrupting?
