XDS ECO MEET-UP – DESIGNING FOR A COOLER PLANET
Join Sankari Studios, the team behind Katoa: Oceans – a beautifully crafted environmental stewardship game – for a casual and inspiring gathering on sustainability in game development. Built in partnership with Snowed In Studios, Volta and Liquid Development, Katoa: Oceans is much more than a visual delight. Players reaching thresholds in the game trigger funding for real-world environmental NGOs, living up to the game’s tagline: Play the game, save the world.
Led by Sankari’s Chief Creative Officer and co-founder, Christian Rossi, this 20-minute conversational-style panel will dive into how multiple studios built sustainability into their creative and production pipelines, including eco-conscious design choices, support for remote work and carbon-aware partnerships. Joining this chat are the development partners that helped build Katoa: Oceans from Snowed In Studios, Liquid Development, Volta and Keywords Studios, sharing how game making can be a tool for environmental good.
