In today's episode of #DoingOurBitPod, we take a deep dive into the wonderful environmental game design manifesto, Rambunctious Games, with the author herself: @gamegrower. How can we make our game worlds come alive, and how can that help our planet? anchor.fm/doing-our-bit/…

All Rise — an inappropriately joyous game about fighting for the planet. A major report on our game that clashes Phoenix Wright, Disco Elysium and deck building with the ecological crisis - to help fund real court cases. Spread this far and wide! anticiplay.medium.com/all-rise-an-in…

excited to be working on this game set in a sideways speculation of India (!) with this fantastic team. working on this has catalysed my climate despair into joyful action & empowerment — hopefully it will do so for our players too 💙💚✨

@JacquelynGill Oh wow! Hope you don't mind if I share this tweet with the @IGDAClimateSIG community. 😍

The gardenvanias are coming!

We were featured in an article for @CosmosMagazine talking about climate change and the games industry. It’s a really fantastic read and thanks again to Petra for taking the time to chat with us. ☄️ cosmosmagazine.com/earth/video-ga…

“If the games industry were its own country, it would be approximately the 130th-most-intense emitter in the world that year.” For @wired, I spoke to @afterclimate about his superb new book on video games, the climate crisis, and paths towards net zero. wired.com/story/how-to-m…

Gibbon: Beyond the Trees finally has a release date on Steam - and it is just a couple of days from now 🥳 Our game launches on May 18th 2022! 🐵 Wishlist now! s.team/a/1837330

This playbook for film & TV is utterly inspiring and a great read. Most of these lessons can be applied to video games as well - it has already transformed one of the games I'm working on. I'm extremely impressed and will be linking and referring to this resource *a lot*.

Made <1.5C without imposing a global carbon price (sounds good but still waiting for a plan) - great work @lesliehook + the @FT #climate team - a grim yet compelling game that makes you think... ig.ft.com/climate-game/

So I want to talk about how companies report their CO2 emissions – and the way some games companies have run into trouble with it. This is inspired by some fact-checking that @lewis_gordon was doing, prompting me to re-check the numbers that @Nintendo reported for 2019...

Tomorrow! Earth Day starts off our #ClimateJam22! Our kickoff panel starts at 1pm PT on twitch.tv/indiecade with 🌍 @paulagize @HugoBille of @IGDAClimateSIG 🌎 @DarganF of @EarthGamesUW 🌏 @HMGarcia_ of Northern Latitudes Partnerships 🌱@ecofriendlyish moderates!
