Create community Micro Jam

So as mentioned in the description, this small game developed as part of a micro jam organized in the IGDA Climate SIG discord community.  The theme was "create community" and "What are some ways in which people can come together around shared experiences, values, or visions for the future".

Although this game maybe ended up being themed  more about "enable a protest" my original thoughts as I started were about how a movement is enabled by people supporting each other and making sure others have what they need to be able to participate.  This is important both on a practical level, in the game symbolized by material for signs, mittens  and blueberry soup but also on a psychological and emotional level symbolized in the protesters with broken hearts needing encouragement to keep going. 

The game was developed in a short amount of time and all aspects of it could be improved in numerous ways. If I would continue working on it this notion of supporting other people  in different ways would definitely be one of the things that I  would want to keep pushing, and in more developed ways than just pressing a button to mend the broken hearts.

The struggle against climate breakdown is definitely a difficult one and I think all of us us involved in it face feelings of grief and hopelessness from time to time. It's necessary to support each other and to be able to partake in actions and communities that give the sense that we're taken seriously and that something can be done.
