Review at Games Forum Germany

Some impressions of our Imagine Earth Project Review at Games Forum Germany in Hannover (January 2010). Work on the game is still in progress, but we were very happy to get some great feedback by Jason Gregory (Naughty Dog Inc. – Uncharted 2) and Matias Myllyrinne (Remedy Entertainment Ltd. – Alan Wake).

Planet Lorian

After learning the basics on TUTO and playing around a bit it is time for the first challenge. LORIAN is much larger than TUTO, which gives you a lot of freedom. Simultaneously it becomes harder to find the optimal basis for your growing civilization. Sounds not like a real challenge? Umh – let’s add a timeout duration of 2.500 weeks:

These are busy times. You got 2.500 weeks to
populate this planet with a minimum of
2.000.000 people. Otherwise the
mission will be lost for you. Hurry up!!

To supply these 2.000.000 people with food, energy and goods you will definitly come close to the planets limits – especially concerning air pollution. Be careful not to run into global warming problems! If you are really good you will receive some bonus items.

Serious Games Award – Best Persuasive Game

awards3We got it!

Yesterday the Serious Games Award was awarded at the Cebit in Hannover. We are proud to say that Imagine Earth won the category “Persuasive Game”.

The category Persuasive Game awards games that communicate and explain ideas and in best case convince about them. They motivate to stand in for something, move the public opinion towards an issue or even change the view of the world.

It seems we really have managed to let Imagine Earth communicate some of our ideas and ideals.

Thanks to the jury, the organisers and especially the donors!
