Day 3 of Globaloria class: Today we started with watching a classmate try out several different genres of games. We started Unit 2, in which we played some games and thought about our topics. I am unsure of my exact topic as of yet, but I am working on narrowing it down. I am considering planning a game that addresses excessive consumerism and it's devastating effects on society and the planet we inhabit. I would like my game to teach it's players about the threats faced by the environment due to out of control consuming and disposing. In our wasteful modern society, it is vital that we come up with alternatives to being wasteful. This will be the challenge because there will be a great degree of complexity when trying to live a sustainable lifestyle. Why is sustainability so important? What can corporations due to encourage socially responsible living and still achieve profitability?  These are just two out of the many questions I have when it comes to addressing the problems of excessive consumerism. This could perhaps be one of the biggest challenges I have faced, however I feel like that this issue is so important, making this a challenge I am willing to face with creativity.
