Peace for the Planets is the winner of the Games for Change Student Challenge 2025's Peaceformers Challenge, a competition in which participants created games to illustrate certain themes. The theme I chose, the Peaceformers Challenge, focused on teaching players how to settle conflict and promote peaceful resolutions. The G4C Student Challenge 2025 was an international competition, with hundreds of submissions from across the world among the different themes.
Peace for the Planets is a visual novel where you play as a Galactic Mediator tasked with promoting peace among your assigned planets. This game uses a simple dialogue system to allow players to chose what advice to give to the different planetary representatives, as well as see the outcome of their choices through text descriptions and illustrations. Peace for the Planets was created in RenPy, which uses a customized version of python, with the goal of learning to make an educational game in the form of a submission to G4C.
