Actor Harrison Ford has joined the studio in Los Angeles for game development Talkie Facebook Ecotopia. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Ecotopia is a free-to-play game that will come in a few months on Facebook. Ford has been involved in the initiative as vice president of Conservation International, a U.S.
NGO that deals with environmental problems. "I am delighted to have been involved in the development of Ecotopia because I think this is a great way to push millions of people to protect our planet," said Ford. "Ecotopia will help people understand the main problems of humanity." As stated by the head of the study Larry Bond, the game was born from a conversation between Harrison Ford and the founder of the study, both concerned with environmental problems.
"We wanted to create a fun game but at the same time can produce real effects on our world. Performing good deeds in the real world you get points to use to progress through the game. If you upload a photo of your actions you can get large bonuses. If confirm what your friends declared many points you get.
We call this social proofing system. " Ecotopia will be available later in the spring on Facebook and other online platforms.
