DW, in Can Video Games Inspire Climate Action? states: Note that while games can teach about environmental issues, including climate change, and can place the player into an immersive, natural simulated world, the gaming industry can also generates its own problems.
The games are broken into a few categories, which might overlap: first person-shooters, MMOs, narrative, puzzle-platformers and other strategy, RPG and adventure, simulation, and tabletop (including D&D, map, board, and card games). While some games lean toward environmental lessons and strategize ways to reconstruct ecological systems, others beautifully immerse the player into an explorative world where nature and wilderness are key to survival. It’s really super awesome.Thanks to so many wonderful game suggestions (primarily video games, but not all) from the Rewilding Our Stories community, we have a new eco-gaming section here at Dragonfly. There are so many mechanics / interactions with other players that I’m having with this game that I’ve never even considered doing in a video game before. Nurturing the forest around my house back to life because we clear cut the entire things to build the initial settlement. Considering proposing a new law banning elk hunting because we’ve already reduced their global numbers by half in just the short time our village has existed. I’m spending time poring over charts and graphs showing how our industrial waste is polluting the ground water, or how big of a radius the air pollution being put out by our new blast furnace reaches. Last night I was up until about 7am arguing with other citizens about whether we should have a capitalist or communist society in our settlement. Some friends and I have a dedicated server going and we’re only about 3 days in.
