Playing with Mother Nature July 9, 2004 - by Gonzalo Frasca Not really sure what to make out of this, but maybe that's because of my own political beliefs on ecology (coming from a Third World country, sometimes I believe that most of ecology is a rich country sport, not when it comes to saving rivers from being polluted with lead and mercury, but more when it comes to the home-recycling paranoia). Anyway, enough of green rant, here's a CFP dealing with the roles of ecology in videogames. I mean, it's totally cool that people are interested in this and I will love to read the book when it's published. Games are great for making systemic points, so they will definitively work well with ecology. Actually, it would be great to make a game about ecology. Nah, first we must get rid of the Bush Administration through the powers of videogames (and votes, I guess. But all you readers who can't vote, well, just make games, ok?)
