Hello to everyone, I'm a beginner programming and game dev hobbyist. I want to develop a game about ecosystem conservation and exploration. I mostly dicided on core of the game. I want people to feel curious annd wonderment, empowered and motivated to protect ecosystems in the game. I am writing this post to gage people's interest, get ideas from people and find people who can work with me on the game. So I will appriciate any game reccomendations, opinions about the game, ideas of game design etc.
People who are interested in working with me on the game can reach me with contact form in this site or with erdemyigitoglu@gmail.com
Best regard

Some Suggestions
Make something where the player may choose to act as a company's CEO or government authority, and take actions that either contribute to so-called environmental issues or help mitigate them. If the player chooses to play as a state, the player may lead or contribute to international collaboration to adopt a more environmentally-friendly approach or at least limit the damage we cause and our so-called carbon footprint, or sign clandestine contracts with global giants and have to deal with so-called activists as (s)he watches more and more money flow into his/her account. Investing in space colonization or building more zoos, or advertising so-called futuristic and innovative tools or structures aimed at adopting to the deserted environment rather than preventing it, for instance, will attract the attention and interest of sci-fi fans, infants and tourists, and might even help preserve some species, but will also imply that certain people will eventually have the opportunity to leave Earth behind no matter how severe the situation is back (t)here, or at least survive on earth as millions die due to a wide range of disasters from so-called natural disasters to wars over water and other precious materials, encouraging them to pretend to care about the ecosystem that we share with billions of other living beings as they instruct us to save our so-called natural resources while they live in unacceptably lavish conditions themselves. The player may be prompted to answer multiple-choice or true/false questions during the game, which might have positive or negative outcomes based on whether the answer is true or false, and in any case, give the player some valuable and interesting information and facts along the way. The player, whether playing as a company or a state, may sue or be sued by others. If playing as a state, the player may act as the president himself/herself and address a wide range of ideologies and concerns from the so-called greens (including vegans and activists) to nationalists or right-wing groups who consider the previously-mentioned communities and their actions as but insincere attempts to hinder the state's development and even global companies that appear to lead the way to a better world as they also get involved in various proven scandals. This is only the core concept that came to my mind, and I am but one of many folks on here that should have tons of fantastic ideas to share.
thank you
That was what I was hoping to get with this post. Thank you for your suggestions. I really like the concept of interactions between different groups. comments like these are very valuable for me in terms of motivation and game design.
Don't forget randomization
Things like heatwaves that destroy crops, floods, extreme cold, perhaps arid deserts that you're forced to do something with to try to get back into a better civilization if you can. Just off the top of my head. Not sure I'd want to sue and all that, but I'm not the dev so let's see how this goes. I do have test flight if an alpha game is created whenever that may be.
So do I.
I can also help test any prerelease versions and I may help with sounds and music as well. One more thing I have on mind is that the virtual earth should have detailed statistics based on actual and factual data like warming and changes in precipitation, CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions, various types of pollution including noise and light pollution, available sources of energy and their impact on the planet as well as the economy, endangered and extinct species, deforestation, desertification, melting rate of glaciers, erosion, how much of earth's surface is covered in all the different types of terrain, etc. with data provided for each country.
RE: randomization
I like random events too. They may provide missions for players and help them learn about and explore diverse ecosystems, complexity of nature. If I can have different groups as players, they can get different missions and need to cooporate wich is plus in my mind.
RE:real data and help on sound
I agree with use of real data. I am planning to base my world in earth. Thanks for the help possibility. I will contact you when game idea is a little more mature.
Sure, would love to contribute.
Online/multiplayer support and Game Center integration would also be great.
