As I initially had trouble selecting a theme for my final project, I decided to follow Professor Dannenburg’s suggestion to make a climate change themed work. As I appreciated art not only for its aesthetics but also for the message it sends to the public, I thought creating a project that sends a message about global warming could be rewarding.

I wanted to show how the actions of humans can have a detrimental impact on the livelihood of polar bears. Although it was already a common topic, I wanted to express that human beings ultimately have the power to preserve or destroy the environment that these animals were dependent on.

As such, I created a “button” that emulated real life actions that caused global warming and the destruction of the ice caps. Each click creates a fire that would burn the trees and finally create a factory. After the action sequence is completed, the player will have destroyed the ozone layer, causing the ice cap to melt and kill the polar bear.
