Excitement about the launch
On behalf of Sourcenomix, I am happy to announce the publishing of a Mobile Video Game/App *Lifestyle vs. Carbon Footprint* on the Apple App Store and by 31 March 2025 on Google Play. This Game/App will revolutionise the way carbon emissions have been managed globally over the years. Year in and year out, the emphasis has been on demanding industries to reduce carbon (greenhouse gases) emissions as everyone believes that they are the huge contributors to those emissions. Whilst this may be partly true, the best way to deal with this problem is supposed to be by looking at the root cause.
The Back Office
Sourcenomix has through its extensive research found that households or consumers whose aggregated demand for various goods and services put pressure on various industries that work tirelessly to meet those needs, are actually the ones that need to be educated on how to reduce these carbon emissions through adjusting their lifestyles intentionally by making lifestyle choices that are inclined to less carbon emissions. It is with this in mind that Sourcenomix developed this Mobile Video Game/App *Lifestyle vs. Carbon Footprint*. From the genre perspective, this Game/App can be categorised as a mix of Education and Simulation. As players/users utilise this Game/App, their minds will be stimulated which in the long run will lead to a mindshift that is inclined to living green consciously.
Game/App mechanics
Players/users of this Game/App will get to know the amounts of carbon emissions that result from different lifestyle choices that they will be expected to choose from and demonstrate how they can live within the daily carbon emission limits. If we all live within the daily limits of carbon emissions that are regulated if any, we can then work towards yearly milestone reduction targets that eventually can contribute to reduction in global warming and improved climate. Players/users that will complete 5 weeks consecutively in the Game/App (which can be accomplished in an hour or more) by making lifestyle choices in the Game/App that allow them to stay within the carbon emission limits incorporated, will attain a status called Global Green Ambassador (GGA). This status will bring in a sense of joy and pride to the players/users which will inspire others to do the same. The Game/App has a Leaderboard that allows players/users to see their scores and ranking globally even beyond obtaining the GGA status. I can promise that players/users will enjoy this Game/App and above that, peer pressure in terms of global rankings on the Leaderboard will lead to some of them becoming addicted as they aim to compete globally and see their names on top of the Leaderboard.
Special thanks to our Partner
Finally, on behalf of Sourcenomix I wish to thank Juego Studio for being behind this Game/App from the design, development, artwork and technical perspective. The entire team from Juego Studio that participated in this project was very professional and above all, worked tirelessly, listened carefully to all the ideas and input from Sorcenomix over and above the initial Game/App brief, and incorporated that into the design. Without their participation, this Game/App would not have come to fruition.
