While I was researching on Guerrilla Gardening, I found this ambitious game. Interestingly, the game developer was inspired by Guerrilla Gardening and he decided to create a game with that theme to let people know about Guerrilla Gardening. I believe this new attempt is strong enough to encourage people to be inspired and to promote plant their vegetation in real world. In particular young children could be easy to be inspired by this game. This is important point, because in fact the current majority of planting beds and allotment's security problems and vandalism are undertaken by local children. If children understand the green or productive lands, possibly they less want to make trouble. I wanted to think more about how this kind of interesting media will affect promoting urban planting and landscape. Therefore decided to share this article.
In a medium that features an overwhelming focus on war-themed shoot-’em-ups, a video game about social change through gardening is a definite change of pace. And if the duo behind Guerrilla Gardening have their way, it will also inspire players to raise a trowel and start sowing the seeds of revolution themselves.
In development for nearly two years, Guerrilla Gardening features a unique mix of stealth and puzzle gameplay. Your goal is to overthrow an evil dictatorship by inspiring citizens to make a change. To do this, you’ll have to plant flowers around government propaganda to make the citizens happy, while avoiding the ever-vigilant police.
According to artist-designer Miguel Sternberg, the idea came from a blog post about the burgeoning guerrilla gardening movement.
