My Favourite T-shirt (2024): a 2.5D side-scrolling platformer video game on Fast Fashion impact on water resources

My Favourite T-Shirt is a 2.5D side-scrolling platformer video game aiming to create awareness among young people about water scarcity and pollution caused by Fast Fashion.
The plot takes place in Uttar Lakadee, a fictional village with a long history of making wood carving stamps for traditional textile printing. In this small village, the fast fashion industry has turned local life into a nightmare. Rivers and aquifers water are poisoned, the air is thick with smog, and homes are buried under mountains of cloths waste.
Fun but challenging gameplay. You play as ‘Acerico’ (pincushion), a wood carving stamp apprentice and former fast fashion factory worker. Acerico's mission is to restore environmental balance while reinventing local industry practices.
Game Levels: Seeing Uttar Lakadee gradual transformation into a wasteland has broken your heart. Your brave decision to escape the factory wasn't easy and will be full of obstacles.
Fast Fashion impact on water scarcity: Fast fashion is a business model in the fashion industry focused on producing clothing quickly and inexpensively to keep up with rapidly changing trends. The goal is to bring trendy, runway-inspired designs to consumers at affordable prices, often with a short turnaround time from design to store shelves. Fast fashion contributes to water scarcity through the vast amounts of water used in cotton farming, dyeing, and garment production. For example, producing one cotton shirt can require over 2,700 litres of water. Additionally, untreated wastewater from dyeing processes pollutes freshwater sources, further depleting clean water availability.
Sustainable Practices: My Favourite T-Shirt's playful and imaginative approach to how Fast Fashion impacts on water scarcity provides key information about sustainable practices in the textile industry, ranging from returning to more eco-friendly traditional printing techniques, to replacing chemicals for natural dyeing, to the benefits of recycling and donating clothes and garments.
All 'favourite' T-shirts appearing in the game are mostly provided by children and gamer friends. We also work with local communities to create their favourite T-Shirt designs and the reason why they love them so much.
