Thanks so much for your comments!
That's a great point about connecting the game more closely with the big picture of climate change. We liked how the PDF in the jam resources talked about how not every game needs to be focused on both in-depth education and emotion in order to be effective, so I think we are landing more on the emotion side. That said, I agree that the game shouldn't be devoid of approaches for addressing climate change. Within the relatively small regional scale of the game, I think we're trying to land on the importance of regulatory changes at the policy level for protecting key carbon sinks like rainforests. It's definitely just a subset of the societal changes needed in the coming years, but hopefully it presents something that feels both impactful and actionable for players.
We'll keep this concern in mind as we work, and hopefully it will remind us to present the narrative in a way that's connected to the big Whys and Hows. Thank you again for the response!
