we choose  “Growth” and “Plant” as our starting theme.
our aim was to create an engaging sim game where user grows biofuel, Jatropha is a plant that promises to solve some of the world energy problems cleanly with plenty of ecological benefits to the environment naturally and effectively.

 

The game is played in the virtual world, but its  ultimate goal is to help fund for farmers to enable them afford plantations that in the long run would benefit everyone involved.

The game can work on many level by encouraging  sponsorship from companies and individuals interested in sustainability.

The user can gain points for purchasing green products.
