Hello Legion Gamers!

There are games that warn us about how the future may turn out if we don't take better care of the environment. But there is also a whole movement dedicated to a more positive view on the prospects and future of humanity. The movement called Solarpunk.

Those interested may click on it and have a Wikipedia read about it or, if you're more of a visual learner, here is a YouTube video about it. Solarpunk is a literary and artistic movement that envisions and works toward actualizing a sustainable future interconnected with nature and community. Here is how Aerroscape & Lino Zeddies imagined Berlin in this style:


@DracoTarot it may be on a smaller scale, but I think what you're doing at home may fit into this as well 😉

And following literature and art, games are now starting to tap into this movement as well. There are not that many games yet, but it is a good sign. For example, last year's Terra Nil:

This is an ecosystem-restoration puzzle game, which is a decent puzzle and has a nice positive message. A small and cosy game for puzzle lovers. @Saka this could be an addition to small light games. Not as cute as Endling, but has a more positive vibe. 🦊

Or there is an upcoming Spolarunk (yeah, they named the game like that, I guess if Cyberpunk can do it, why can't they):

This is an upcoming potentially co-op farming sim set in a futuristic and very solarpunk future. I like games like this with a positive message and relaxing gameplay mechanics, sometimes it is nice to take a break from commanding armies or discovering ancient mysteries or hunting your friends as one of the iconic serial killers ( @j7schultz I am talking about you) and just have a chill evening of a game with good vibes.

But these are the two examples that I know of, do you know any more?

@DoctorEldritch Definitely on a smaller scale 😀

@DracoTarot Ah well, you need to start somewhere. And as the saying goes,



We can dream of a world-scale sustainable and clean living, and we do not know if we'll manage to get there, but there are small things we can do even now.

@DracoTarot Even if what you di is something as small as touching grass 😉

@DoctorEldritch I think it's going to take a few thousand years to reach that point. Maybe Musk will have some neat ideas in the future to encourage people to be more sustainable.
