Project Pretty Planet

Pretty Planet - Game for Sustainability

Create a game or app that motivates users to engage in sustainable practices such as recycling, reducing energy consumption, or participating in local clean-up efforts.

General understanding:

An interactive word-based game where the user can make choices that lead to other branches/questions/rewards
Map-based/leads to a certain area where cleanups can happen
User receives an award after task completion
Users who recycled/used a reusable water bottle, etc. receive points
Certain number of rewards gives a prize based on sponsorships
Online and offline parts: online for general players, more dedicated players can participate in actual in-person clean-ups that are worth more points.

Game ideas:

If loading time is needed, a loading screen with some kind of sustainability fact will appear.
Use keystroke method (no graphics/clicking) for now; would later implement proper graphics and clicking.
Home page, click any key to start// Planet Pretty name
- Menu opens to record options
  - Background: your planet is currently facing extinction. Bad weather, animals dying, etc. Start your path to make your planet pretty (or worse)!
  - Good deeds or bad behavior (count/log it)
  - State percentage of behavior
Starts off trash (apocalyptic world) and then gets better throughout the task completion
- If the person keeps making bad mistakes then it would get worse (eventually terminate/explodes (GAME OVER, UGLY PLANET)
  - If successful game will change to a “prettier planet” green trees, happier animals

Person will succeed if percentage goal at 90% or higher than planet is pretty and a message appears to make it happen in real world
