Our Earth Your Choice

Help a team of diverse eco-activists restore the Earth’s climate. Take on fun missions set in four different locations around the world. Boost the Earth’s overall health – which starts off at 50%, in the balance, at the beginning of the game.

BACKGROUND

Winner of the Culture Health & Wellbeing Alliance
Climate Change Award 2022!

Our Earth Your Choice is a short prototype top-down game developed by arts organisation One to One Development Trust working with 25 young people from Wakefield, UK.

The participants were aged 8-20 years old and worked in four age-appropriate teams primarily over Zoom during the Covid lockdowns.

The aim of the project was create a new tech demo exploring a range of mechanics and ideas, give practical experience through free game dev software, learn about climate change, and improve personal skills. 

Sessions were tailored to address 7 key areas of personal development: Confidence Building, Teamwork, Active Listening, Communication, Planning, Problem-solving and Critical Thinking.

The children and young people produced a wide range of material - from artwork, 3D models and level designs to music and sound FX - which can be viewed in our online gallery. This material inspired - and is incorporated - into the game.
