Hello folks!
I'm thrilled to announce that City Game Studio has been selected to participate in the Zero Carbon Quest festival on Steam from November 25th to December 2nd, 2024. As a solo developer creating a game about building successful gaming companies, it feels pretty meta to be thinking about my own studio's environmental impact!
For those wondering - yes, I've been tracking my carbon emissions during development (turns out my coffee machine is responsible for 73% of it... just kidding!). But in all seriousness, I'm proud to be part of this initiative alongside other environmentally conscious developers.
While City Game Studio isn't about saving the planet (unless you count saving virtual game companies from bankruptcy), I believe that every studio, big or small, has a role to play in making our industry more sustainable. After all, you wouldn't ignore your game's budget in the simulation, so why ignore my real-world carbon budget?
During the festival, you'll have the chance to grab City Game Studio at a special discount. Join me in showing that independent game development can be both creative and environmentally responsible.
Hope to see you there, and remember - in both game development and sustainability, every small action counts!
Take Care,
Xavier aka Binogure
