MORE INFO:
Games for Change awards are designed to highlight games that achieve some form of social good, such as education, sparking important conversations, highlighting social issues or promoting empathy.
Radio General is first and foremost a strategy game, but it also places a heavy emphasis on education. We use hundreds of real historical photos and videos to teach players about real battles, and are one of the only games to cover Canadian history during the war. Currently Radio General is being used in local highschools to teach Canadian history during WW2, and we give out free keys for educational purposes.
Lastly, Radio General is also one of the rare games to promote empathy and discuss the actual human cost of war. Other RTS and wargames have you throw away hundreds if not thousands of digital lives during a mission, and the only acknowledgement given to this is your score screen at the end. In Radio General, you personally review casualty reports, and have to write letters home - how do you tell a mother their son won't be coming home?
In short, Radio General was nominated due to its educational focus and its unique depiction of the human cost of war.
