Overview
This week the Future Forgers officially launched Project Ecotopia on itch.io for Windows PC and MacOS! After some more bug fixes and tweaks to the art, the team was able to put together a final build. Also, this week we started our final presentation. Lastly, at the end of the week, we had the ETC Festival where we had a lot of guests come play the experience, the festival site can be seen here.

The Future of the Game
Now that the school semester is coming to a close and development is complete we now look into the future. We will be submitting this game to game festivals and competitions like Games for Change, Indiecade, and the IEEE Game SIG. Materials to submit are already underway with submission beginning as early as January. We hope that this could help the game get more exposure. We will be consulting with the Center for Transformational Play here at CMU to aid with this process.
Beyond that we will continue to evaluate where to submit the game and, based on the team’s availability post-semester, there may be an opportunity to research the transformational effect this game has on its players. Though nothing is set in stone in these regards.
Looking Into Next Week
- We have our finals presentation on Tuesday
- Be on the lookout for our Post-Mortem
- Archives for the project
- Room clean up
- Team dinner on Wednesday
A big thank you to everyone who has checked out our blog this semester. We hope you’ve enjoyed seeing our game develop. Hope you all can enjoy the game!
