HOST: Welcome to the show, today we're talking about the Certified Specialist Programme in Green Building Practices for Gaming. I'm excited to dive into this topic with our guest, an expert in sustainable game development. Can you tell us a bit about your experience in this field and what drew you to it?

Green building practices in gaming are a natural extension of that passion. HOST: It's great to hear that you're using your expertise to promote sustainability. Can you tell us a little bit about the current trends in sustainable game development? What are some of the key things that game developers, environment artists, and level designers need to know right now? GUEST: Absolutely. One of the biggest trends right now is the use of energy-efficient servers and data centers to power online games. Additionally, there's a growing interest in using renewable resources and eco-friendly materials in game development. HOST: That's fascinating. And I can imagine there must be some challenges in implementing these practices. Can you speak to any of the challenges you've faced in integrating sustainable design principles into virtual worlds? GUEST: Certainly. One of the biggest challenges is educating the wider team about the importance of these practices. It's not always easy to get buy-in from everyone, but it's crucial to the success of the project. HOST: I can imagine. And what about the future of this area? Where do you see it heading in the next 5-10 years? GUEST: I think we're going to see more and more games that prioritize sustainability in their design. Gamers are becoming increasingly aware of the impact their hobby has on the environment, and game developers are starting to respond to that demand. HOST: That's really exciting. And I think the Certified Specialist Programme in Green Building Practices for Gaming is a great way to help game developers, environment artists, and level designers gain the skills they need to lead the way in environmentally responsible game creation.
