WHO?
Return of the Wild is owned and developed by Erly Stage Studios. It was built in-house and the experience of building a Roblox game and testing it to perfection was worth it, while contributing to conservation.
WHY?
Since gaming is a great way to raise awareness and encourage coming generations to take care of our planet, the team worked together to build this game from design phase to development and testing with 20 Alpha users. For every 50 trees successfully planted in the game, a real tree would be planted.
HOW?
The idea was to develop a 3D game that allows you to explore the rainforest and contribute to conservation virtually. Players can help restore the ecosystem, discover new animals and take on a series of quests to reach the finish line.
Starting with the ideation of what the game should be, thinking of how it can contribute to conservation, it was agreed that experiencing a rainforest hunt would be the best way for people to partake in helping the earth.
The team sketched out a rainforest and maps in particular, creating the experience of navigating through it with the help of some forrest essential.
Gamification was plugged into the game to make it more intriguing and fun. The more coins you earned, the more items and experiences you could enjoy.
