We have no label and no measured carbon footprint. Our commitment is simpler, and verifiable: a free game that runs on the computers players already own.
Devices account for half the footprint
According to ADEME, the French environment agency, digital technology accounts for 4.4% of France's carbon footprint. Half of it comes from the devices themselves (computers, TVs, smartphones), from manufacturing to use; 46% comes from data centres (figures updated in 2024, in French).
Targeting the machines already out there
Synthopolis runs with 8 GB of RAM and an Intel HD 4600 graphics chip, released in 2013. Nobody needs to buy a PC or a graphics card to join us. It is the most direct lever a studio like ours has, and it also makes the game more accessible.
A choice that starts with the drawing
Restraint is decided in the art direction: watercolour and ink rather than a race to photorealism. The game takes 2 GB on disk.
This site follows the same rule
This site is light, with no advertising trackers. The trailer only loads if you click on it.
