 The man-made climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In every domain, we're forced to question the status quo, and the gaming industry is no exception. On this wiki, we aim to tackle a fundamental question: How can we, as a sensitive and self-reflective community of independent game developers and academics, contribute to shaping a sustainable future for both our medium and our planet? Inspired by the positive utopias of solarpunk, we want to look into a hopeful future and discuss how games might play a positive part in it.  The man-made climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time.

-  * [[Inputs|short 5 Minutes Inputs]] +In the seminar [[https://www.burg-halle.de/en/design/multimediavr-design/multimediavr-design/course-elements/l/games-for-future-v2-solarpunk/ | Games for Future v2: Solarpunk (Summer 2024)]] we explored the narratives and concepts of solarpunk and considered how we, as multimedia designers, can make a meaningful contribution to the discussion around climate change and sustainability. A special focus was placed on the medium of video games. Video games and interactive applications offer a unique opportunity to experience alternative future scenarios, raise awareness, and foster empathy. They can also encourage players to rethink and change existing behaviors through nudging and gamification. To get going we started with [[Inputs|short 5 Minutes Inputs]].

(pdf)]]  +At the same time, it is important to promote critical reflection on the medium and mindful use of technology and resources within the entertainment industry. In the seminar, we examined open-source game technologies (Godot workshop and game jam [[5R_GameJam]] with Friedrich Hanisch from Rat King), engaged with futurists (Workshop with Mascha Schädlich from [[https://konzeptwerk-neue-oekonomie.org|Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie]], 16.4.2024, [[https://zukunftfueralle.jetzt/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ZFA_Buch_digital_v2.pdf | Zukunft für alle!

Additionally, a Solarpunk Games for Future Manifesto was created together with game designers at the [[A_MAZE_workshop|A.MAZE]] Festival in Berlin.
