Try to survive the 20th Century as a Southeast Asian farmer! This game studies the growth of environmentalism in Asia from 1880s to the present day. Although I've taken some liberties in the historical events, the events in the game generally reflect what actually happened in the 1900s (colonial governments, revolutions,  and war). This game allows you to experience first-hand the world from the perspective of an indigenous subsistence farmer in the Southeast Asia region. You can learn the demonization of Swidden agriculture, the nonsensical classification and reclassification of land, the injustice of forest regulations, and the ridiculous expectation of you to survive. The primary goal of this game is to be fun, as all games should be. But, this game's secondary goal is to teach you years of ethnographic scholarship in the area in a concise, easy to understand way. The game synthesizes my research in the Anthropology of Asian environments. The game is still a work in progress, and I hope to add more animations, sound, and overall polish to make the game feel more professional. I also would like to add more randomized events to make each play through unique. 

This is my ANTH481 Final Project. I hope you enjoy!
