Games That Can Have Social Impact - Jane Ji
Passion should be what drives the creativity behind our games. When you deal with subject matter that rarely would become a theme for a game expected to be a commercial success, you need passion and perseverance to make games that have social impact.
Our genuine concern about biodiversity and ecosystems inspired us to create innovative game mechanisms that fit well with the nature of the content we would need to create iBiome, a game series that teaches kids about environmental science.
Worried about the future of our children, two concerned moms decided to fight back with educational games that they believe will engage kids in environmental stewardship. With none partnership and less than $2000 of marketing budget to start with, we went through a path that has led us to where we are today: awards, iTunes store features and two games in the series. Find out how far we are from success after four abandoned prototypes, countless failure to sell to k-12 schools and struggle to raise funds.
