Introduction:

Greetings, fellow gamers and environmental advocates! We're delighted to unveil our first project, "Peal Venture: Eco-Guardian of the Gulf," a collaborative effort between Abu Dhabi University students and Endless Games Studios for COP28. Join us as we delve into the development journey and exciting features of our eco-adventure game.

About the Game:

"Peal Venture" immerses players in the urgent mission to restore the UAE's marine ecosystems. As Ammar, players confront the consequences of human activity on the Gulf's waters, from pollution to entangled marine life. Our game embodies the spirit of environmental stewardship and resilience in the face of adversity.

Core Gameplay Mechanics:

In addition to cleaning the sea from trash, ghost nets that entangle and harm marine life, along with releasing trapped crabs, players must navigate encounters with sharks, jellyfish, and various obstacles. A unique aspect of "Peal Venture" is the dynamic environment, where players witness tangible improvements as they progress. Watch as water clarity improves, plant life flourishes, and fish populations rebound in response to your actions.

About the Team:

"Peal Venture" is more than just a game; it's a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our team. When we embarked on this journey, many of us were novices, with little to no experience in coding, music composition, storytelling, or art. However, with Endless Studios' invaluable mentorship sessions and guidance, we found the support and resources we needed to navigate this uncharted territory.

Development Journey:

Our development journey spanned approximately one year, marked by both challenges and triumphs. We encountered numerous obstacles along the way, from technical hurdles to team dynamics. Despite facing setbacks and witnessing members come and go, our passion for the project never wavered. Each hurdle we overcame brought us closer together and fueled our determination to see "Peal Venture" through to completion.

Conclusion:

"Peal Venture: Eco-Guardian of the Gulf" is not just a game; it's a testament to the power of dedication, perseverance, and passion. As you embark on this adventure with us, remember the countless hours and tireless efforts poured into bringing this project to life.

Thank you for joining us on this meaningful adventure!
