Hello adventurers!
Amazon Games and New World are participating 2024 Playing for the Planet Green Game Jam. Green Game Jam is an annual project hosted by. play for the earth Game studios are required to implement “green activations” in their games. This year’s event aims to make small changes in the way we eat to drive demand for more sustainable food sources. As part of the Feast for the Future recipe design contest, we worked with players to design sustainable in-game dishes. Aeternum’s resources can be revived indefinitely, but you must consider how your real-world choices affect the environment.
Eternum is self-sustaining. No matter how much banana pudding and other delicacies they eat, food sustainability is never a concern for the residents of Eternal Island. Whether you’re exploring the bioluminescent jungles of Elysian Wilds or scavenging the ancient ruins of Brimstone Sands, you’ll find a paradise of abundance, waste, and food sustainability. In the real world, what we eat and where it comes from has a huge impact on our world. From land use to transportation, processing and packaging, greenhouse gas emissions are an unfortunate consequence of each step. Some food sources specifically have a greater impact on your own health than others.
How does the new world compare to the real world? How many types of food did players create? What were the top recipes? Check out the Feast for the Future infographic to see how Aeternum compares to our world.

Meat and dairy recipes make up the majority of consumables created in Aeternum, with over 800 million (67%) created. The total number of vegetarian and vegan dishes created exceeded 400 million (33%).
If Aeternum were to exist and not be self-sustaining forever, the implications for food sustainability would be significant. Meat and dairy consumption has the greatest impact on greenhouse gas emissions from land, feed, processing, and waste, while non-meat foods reduce impacts across these categories. Since the average global consumption of meat and dairy products is around 30%, further increases in greenhouse gases would lead to significant deforestation, water scarcity, loss of natural habitats and pollution of biodiversity, air, soil and waterways. means. Even the almighty Azoth tree cannot survive.
