Fate of the World is released!

Today, we cross the finish line. Today, Red Redemption releases Fate of the World, our new turn-based, global strategy game for PC.

If you like baby seals and long walks along the fjords of Finland (thanks, Slartibartfast!), you should probably purchase it now fateoftheworld.net.

That aside, I must say, it's a brilliant feeling to release a game, even if I know our real mission -- to fight climate change -- has hardly begun.

Many people have a cause -- money, themselves, poodles, the baby seals I mentioned earlier. Our cause is the environment. Everyone here at Red Redemption is incredibly, ridiculously passionate about saving the Earth from almost certain environmental collapse... so we made a computer game about it.

When you look at the science -- and rest assured, our scientific advisors (from Oxford!) have looked at more scientific data and analysis than you can shake a polar bear at -- climate change is already here, and it's going to get worse. With that reality, we must accept the responsibility to do something.

Of course, I'm just a silly game developer -- what can I do? Well, I work with a few wonderfully creative people who have two passions: great games and saving the planet. So making a game was the most obvious step we could take to educate, entertain and dramatize the greatest challenge of the next century.

On that note, did I mention Fate of the World is now available for purchase? fateoftheworld.net.
You can buy it for your friends, or for those unfortunate relatives who still believe Earth is the center of the universe. They're sure to love it.

Also, please don't shake polar bears. You've been warned.
