Sustainaville: A Democracy Story

What it does

Sustainaville: A Democracy Story is a retro simulation game where you step into the role of a parliamentary representative dedicated to building a sustainable future. Your mission is to navigate the intricate world of politics by negotiating with fellow representatives, running strategic campaigns, raising funds, and more. Sustainaville offers an engaging, hands-on experience that makes learning about democracy both educational and fun.

We developed Sustainaville using Flutter, ensuring cross-platform compatibility, though for the best experience, we recommend playing on a desktop browser. We also integrated Firebase for seamless authentication management and secure storage of game save states.

What truly sets Sustainaville apart is its deep integration with Gemini AI. Every character, party, lobby group, constituency, and bill in the game is AI-generated using specialized prompts, making each playthrough unique. Player actions—whether negotiating with a representative or casting a vote—are processed through a controlled AI chat system, which maintains the context of the entire game history. This AI-driven approach results in dynamic, life-like responses, creating an immersive and realistic gameplay experience.

With Sustainaville, you're not just playing a game—you're immersing yourself in the complexities of real-world politics. It's a powerful tool for understanding the intricacies of democracy, sharpening negotiation skills, and discovering the impact of collaboration.
