In an inspiring testament to the power of gaming for good, Treesplease has announced a significant milestone following the launch of their debut game, Longleaf Valley. The initiative has successfully led to the planting of over two million real-world trees, showcasing the tangible impact that gaming can have on our planet.
This achievement was made possible through Treesplease's partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project, with the efforts offsetting approximately 42,000 tonnes of CO2. As they usher in 2025, the developer is also introducing a new in-game event inspired by Veganuary, drawing from the official Veganuary Cookbook. Whether you're committed to a vegan lifestyle, exploring it, or skeptical, the event offers new content and the chance to earn adorable baby animal rewards, making it a must-play for everyone.
Go greenIt's been a remarkable year for Treesplease. Their CEO and founder, Laura Carter, received the Global Gaming Citizen award at the 2024 Game Awards for her dedication to climate action. Additionally, Longleaf Valley was honored with the Best Purpose Driven Game award at the 2024 Playing of the Planet Awards, solidifying its impact and recognition within the industry.
The success of Treesplease's "Play it, Plant It" model highlights a growing trend among gamers who relish the opportunity to contribute to meaningful causes while enjoying their favorite pastime. Their efforts have clearly resonated, resulting in a significant environmental contribution.
Looking ahead, the upcoming game Communite also emphasizes community and improvement, though in a less concrete way. For those interested in seeing what this new title has to offer, Jupiter Hadley's preview provides a detailed look into what players can expect.
