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-ri…

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 💙💚✨

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. ☄️

“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.

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...

So, as we are nearing launch of Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, we thought it might be interesting to talk a little bit about the background of how the game came to be. Make yourself cozy, it’s story time!

So the GDC schedule is live today and my session is on GDC Tuesday @ 5:30pm Room 2009, West Hall. Come along to hear about 1) the current emissions intensity of game development, and 2) what YOU can do about it as an indie game developer

In 2 years, there is a lot to be proud of.
Stand-outs for me:
1⃣ Culture changing in studios around green game design (@ubisoft at forefront & @IGDAClimateSIG key);
2⃣ 82% of gamers want green activations in games;
3⃣Decarb challenges leading to collaboration, not competition.
Our Annual Impact Report is out!
Great to see:
✅2/3rds of members cutting emissions
✅Green Game Jam reaching 130 mln gamers
✅ Over 2 million trees planted
✅7 new studios & 7 trade bodies joining
✅ Plastic plan underway
