Outfit7, mastermind behind the entire Talking Tom & Friends franchise, walked away with 2 prestigious awards at the 4th annual Green Game Jam. This annual event is organised by the Playing for the Planet alliance, where gaming studios participate by implementing “green activations” into their games. The theme is changed yearly, aiming to engage players all around the world, inspiring them to take action for our beloved environment. The vision of having an industry that revolves around educating people to act on environmental topics is their main goal.
Outfit7 stood out at the Green Game Jam with their contribution and commitment to raise awareness for ecological issues around the world through their top grossing game, My Talking Angela 2. This particular game received the Industry’s Choice Award and the Most Adoptable Award, for being a true advocate for the environment. In-game events, encouraging players to nurture their plants and flowers in the game were included and well received by the players of 2 of their games – Talking Tom Gold Run and My Talking Angela 2.
Xinyu Qian, CEO of Outfit7, was delighted by these honours, stating that the company was “thrilled to have been recognised for our commitment at this year’s Green Game Jam Awards. At Outfit7, we believe that it’s our responsibility to take action to protect the planet and use the power of our brand, and our Talking Tom & Friends characters, to raise awareness around these important topics.”
As part of the campaign, showing true dedication to the protection and restoration of wildlife, Outfit7 donated $60,000 to the non-profit organisation, Re:wild.
Let us take a closer look at both these awards that My Talking Angela 2 has earned. The first is the Industry Choice Award, acknowledging the game’s flower-growing and bee-supporting activity, giving players a sense of real-world impact, creativity and most of all, education on these topics. The Most Adoptable Award recognises My Talking Angela 2’s seamless integration potential into other games.
