Use of Theme / Inspiration
The game will show the effect of positive climate action through the work of individuals and government policy. The theme compels us because a better world without fossil fuels is possible and we need it to create it as soon as possible. Were showing a world that is showing what it's like when you try to reverse the damage done by previous fossil fuel usage. We are also inspired by farming games like Stardew Valley.

This concept is so cute!! I love gardening and games like Stardew Valley, so I love that it was compared to that. Cozy games are the best! I would try to make sure you have a clear idea of what you’d like to do (as I saw a lot of “maybe” in the pdf). But other than that, I think this is a really cute idea with a resonance scope! Good job! ^^

This is SUCH a fun concept! I wish that there were more reference images/mood boards so that I could have a better understanding of the visuals that you're intending to incorporate: is this going to be a first person POV or third person POV?  I recently played Subnautica for the first time (I know, I know, I'm like a decade late) and if you're planning on taking a similar approach to player perspective, I would totally advise looking into that for ideas. The proposed mechanics seem fun, on topic, and within scope. I can't wait to see more!

You have done a great job outlining plans here! The scope seems perfect for the length of the jam, but I like that you also included some "stretch goals" ("Maybes") that might be possible if time allows.

I'm also really impressed with how succinct you kept each section, and how accessible these documents are to skim through and find the information you're looking for. Great work so far, and I'm really excited to see where you take this one! :)

Wow! That sounds so cool! I can't wait to try it when you guys finish! Is the diving gonna be similar to 'Dave the Diver'?

Developer

Thank you! I can't wait to finish too! I've never played 'Dave the Diver' and this game will be in 3D so there will probably be some differences.
