Researchers at the University of Aukland are designing a toolkit to support desirable and sustainable futures aesthetics in games, and they need your help!
If you are a game art director, artist or otherwise involved in game visuals, aesthetics and worldbuilding, please consider completing their short survey.

We’re thrilled to share that Sonia, our WP2 lead on STRATEGIES, has been appointed to the board of directors at the Sustainable Games Alliance (SGA).

The SGA brings together developers, studios and organisations committed to creating a more sustainable games industry — from reducing emissions in development to improving standards and transparency across the board.

How can Europe's game developers navigate the rapidly changing political landscape, meet the new sustainability regulations, and create real impact with and through their games? We are a proud founding member of the Sustainable Games Alliance and have been working collaboratively with them in their efforts to develop an industry-wide standard for emissions accounting and sustainability reporting.

In the newest issue of KIJK magazine, Joost Raessens - our project coordinatpr here at STRATEGIES - is interviewed on his work in the area of games and sustainability.

STRATEGIES are pleased to announce the publication today of research by Chloé Germaine on ecological ethics, aesthetics and board games. The chapter, “Tabletop Eco-Weird: Gameplay Experience and Ecological Ethics”, appears in the new book, The Call of the Eco-Weird in Fiction, Films, and Games that is edited by Brian Hisao Onishi and Nathan M. Bell. It arises from the collaborative research carried out by various folks at The Society for the Study of the Eco-Weird, hosted out of Penn State university.

We’re excited to share the news that the Ecogames book, featuring research from many members of the STRATEGIES consortium, just got a glowing review in Eludamos: Journal for Computer Game Culture.
