Inspiration

The inspiration behind GreenStack came from a desire to create a game that not only entertains but also educates players about the importance of sustainability and self-sufficiency. We wanted to provide an interactive platform where players could experience the challenges and rewards of building a sustainable lifestyle in a virtual environment.

What it does

GreenStack is a game where players stack cards to obtain food, craft items, and build structures with the goal of becoming self-sustainable. Players start with a basic set of cards representing a person and essential resources like energy plants, jobs, and supermarkets. Through purchasing card packs with virtual currency, players can change their habits and strive to become fully self-sustained individuals. The game simulates various factors such as food consumption, health, pollution, and resource management, challenging players to make strategic decisions to thrive in the game world.

How we built it

We embarked on crafting this project utilizing the versatile Flutter framework, a cross-platform language compatible with various devices. Delving into the realm of game development, we immersed ourselves in studying and absorbing insights from the Flame documentation. Leveraging Flutter’s native widgets, we meticulously sculpted the cards, ensuring an intuitive and visually appealing interface. To enhance the aesthetic and functionality, we integrated packages such as FontAwesome. However, paramount to our journey was the boundless creativity we infused into the development process, driven by our passion for programming in Flutter.

Challenges we ran into

Throughout the development process, we encountered several challenges, including: Designing a balanced gameplay experience that is both challenging and enjoyable for players. Implementing complex card mechanics and interactions while maintaining code readability and scalability. Optimizing game performance to ensure smooth gameplay across different devices and screen sizes. Integrating multiplayer features and online functionality to enhance the social aspect of the game. Despite these challenges, we were able to overcome them through collaboration, perseverance, and creative problem-solving.

Accomplishments that we’re proud of

We’re proud of several accomplishments achieved during the development of GreenStack, including: Creating a visually stunning and immersive game world that captures the essence of sustainability and self-sufficiency. Implementing a wide range of card mechanics and gameplay features that offer depth and replayability for players. Receiving positive feedback from playtesters and early adopters, indicating that the game resonates with its target audience. Establishing a strong foundation for future updates and expansions, ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of the game.

What we learned

Developing GreenStack taught us valuable lessons in game design, software development, and project management. Some key takeaways include: The importance of iterative development and continuous feedback loops to refine and improve the game over time. The significance of effective communication and collaboration within a multidisciplinary team to achieve common goals. The value of user testing and player feedback in identifying areas for improvement and driving product innovation. The challenges and complexities involved in balancing gameplay mechanics, aesthetics, and performance in a dynamic gaming environment.

What’s next for GreenStack

Looking ahead, we have exciting plans to further enhance and expand the GreenStack experience. Some future developments and features we’re considering include: Adding new card packs and gameplay mechanics to introduce fresh challenges and opportunities for players.
