Together, we have made a difference!

It’s been one whole year since we launched our most nature loving title, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. With the support of our players and communities, we made a promise to plant a tree for every copy of the game that landed in the hands of our players.

One year on, we are super excited to announce that today — together! — we have reached our goal of planting One Million Trees in Alba’s Forest.

Planting 1 Million trees in the world, to help restore natural habitats and absorb carbon from the atmosphere — that is a HUGE achievement! 1 MILLION TREES! Can you even imagine a forest that big? (We bet it’s beautiful ❤….)

Time to celebrate!

So — to celebrate this, frankly, enormous achievement, we wanted to shout out the brilliant folks who have contributed along the way, (believe us, we haven’t done this alone!). Our warmest gratitude goes to….

…Our Players! Thanks to you, through your commitment of playing Alba and taking action, we have been able to plant a tree in the world with your name on it! (NB: we mean that only as a figure of speech…) Congratulations!

….Our Partners! We work with some pretty cool companies, with caring people who share our mission to make a difference! First we want to shout out to our friends at Apple Arcade, who helped us bring Alba to market (to you!) and who supported us along the way. Also, to our publishing partner, PID Games — who have been super generous in helping us fund this project! And finally, to Ecologi — where the magic happens! the platform through which your trees are planted — check out what 1 Million Trees looks like at https://ecologi.com/albasforest

…And Finally, thanks to YOU! To those generous individuals who donated directly to Alba’s Forest. Your generosity to help Alba’s forest grow was something we never expected — and yet your commitment to helping us reach this goal has warmed our hearts! Here’s looking at you: S. Schulz, S. Demajo, School Circles documentary, CozyMoonsy, Lazy Jenny / lazyradly, Jaimie T, J. Gardner, Pilates for Pain Management, G. Fuller, umbriel, A. Charman, Beefling, CoraTora, G. Rice, S. McGuinness, the Guardiola Family, D. Cheryl Tan, Ali and friends… to name just a FEW of the friends who have donated along the way.

So, we’ve reached the goal — but what happens now? Well the good news is, we do not plan to stop!

We’ll continue on this journey and see just how big a difference we can make — we are going to KEEP ON buying a tree every-time a copy of Alba is sold or downloaded, from now and for forever!

Who knows just how big Alba’s Forest will get? We are not ready to stop it growing yet! 🌲

Happy Dance for One Million Trees!
