Day 1 of exhibitions, panels, and other events at the @filmgatemiami festival is finally underway! We’re having a blast and gaining valuable insights for our dev and design teams as we present our NYC Mission One game demo for Year 2180, our save-the-world climate project. If you’re in town, stop by! The program has so many cool offerings, and we’d love to see you!

We’re currently compiling all observations from this incredible experience and are thrilled to have been surrounded by such passionate climate activists and visionaries. If you’re interested in receiving updates or becoming a tester for future builds, we’d love to hear from you!

Stay tuned for more updates and join us on this exciting journey!
