Today 3.2 billion people live in areas with high to very high water shortages or scarcity. The numerous water issues and lack of sustainable practices ingrained in society today call for a new solution. By reaching out to younger generations through gaming, this water awareness and water conservation video game aims to positively influence its users through gamification, real-world data, and educational information, motivating its users to save water and become more water-aware in their daily lives. This method of gamification has previously proven to be effective through educational platforms such as Khan Academy and Quizlet which use game elements to engage their users. The platforms used to develop this game include Unity as the game engine, Visual Studio for programming, and Inkscape for graphics.
