The Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is a large evergreen tree in the family Gentianaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. Its trunk is dark brown, with deeply fissured bark, looking somewhat like a bittergourd. It grows in an irregular shape from 10 to 25m high. Its leaves are light green and oval in shape. Its yellowish flowers have a distinct fragrance and the fruits of the tree are bitter tasting red berries, which are eaten by birds and fruit bats. Source: Tembusu, Wikipedia

Climate Change Heroes Game

19 Jan 2014 | 9:00 am |

Climate Change Heroes is a game designed, written, and developed by Adeline Chang, Jacqueline Chua, & Carmina Castro; as part of the Tembusu Senior Seminar — Climate Change — with Dr Adam Groves

The game explores climate change by empowering users to make decisions that determine the fate of the virtual Earth. It explores a complexity of climate relations — juxtaposing attempted mitigation measures with a variety of apocalyptic narratives. By doing so, it brings attention to the interrelation of decision-making processes, and the complexities surrounding climate change — emphasising how decisions that seem apt and straightforward have unforeseen consequences and implications.

Climate Change Heroes has been featured in the thematic magazine, One Imperative as part of its 11th issue, entitled (Re)Play.
