How does your concept engage in the jam's themes?
Light pollution is an under-discussed environmental hazard, often left out of discussions about climate change. However, it disrupts animals critical to our ecosystem, particularly those guided by natural light sources, and affects our health as well. We’re changing the story by addressing something that’s treated as inherent to modern lives, and showcasing solutions we can take to prevent is affects on wildlife and ourselves.
Use of Theme / Inspiration
The aspects of our theme that we find compelling include focusing on how the animals that are important to our ecosystem are affected by light pollution. There are many different ways that light pollution affects animals, which ultimately affect human life as well. We incorporate this in our story through three different interactions with three unique animals (moth, frog, sea turtle) that cover the various ways light pollution affects animals. The game is inspired by the way the town Flagstaff, Arizona, combats light pollution. Gameplay-wise our references are Night in the Woods and Planet of Lana.
