Village the Game: Play it. Love it. Live it.

Village is SimCity for the Third World.

Instead of being mayor, be an entrepreneur. Build and run companies that transform lives. Village is a realtime strategy game for the PC that immerses the player into the role of an entrepreneur building companies to bring prosperity to the villages of the Third World.

Poor countries have a challenging mix of problems.

Almost everyone has seen a movie, a documentary, or website discussing extreme poverty, lack of drinking water, starvation, or the fight against AIDS. There's plenty of opportunity to discover the plight of poverty on the world. Now it's time to share the solutions.

Village the Game shows off the best solutions to extreme poverty.

These solutions are sustainable, eco-friendly, and provide income for the world's poorest. Start and run your own microcredit bank, sell irrigation pumps that help farmers grow ten times more food. Bring affordable solar power and mobile phone technology to your village. Test your favorite strategies in-game with villages modeled after the real world.

The audience for Village is large and growing.

Whether it is lending money to microentrepreneurs through Kiva.org or signing petitions at One.org every indicator says the audience that cares about extreme poverty and wants to take action is large and growing.

Play it. Love it. Live it.

The impact of Village doesn't stop at raising awareness of solutions. It continues into inspiring action: First learn how cool microcredit is, then go to www.Kiva.org and try microlending for real. Experiment with micromedical clinics in Kenya then recruit friends you met inside the game to fund a franchise in Tanzania.

Town-building is fun!

Games like Westward entertain players with building a Wild West town during the Gold Rush Era. In Virtual Villagers the player creates a thriving tropical community on an island. Village the Game takes place in today's Wild West: the Third World; often within the beauty of tropical landscapes.

We're bringing home this fun as a casual download.

Although Village will evolve into massively multiplayer online game, Village 1.0 is a casual download. It's single player action designed for 12 hours of gameplay. The design document is ready for a talented team to take it from the functional demo it is now to a polished icon of reality gaming.
