Project on an environmental game for kids. Interested? [Unity]

Hi all,

Recently I launched a mobile game for kids in Vietnam, developed for free by a great local company Topebox along with a local Anti Littering NGO Vietnam Clean & Green. The Game is Green Turtle here (Called 'Anh Hung Rua Xanh') on iOs and Android and it's aimed at teaching kids an anti littering message. Please feel free to try it. Here's an academic conference paper we did on it. (Part of this project is because I feel that research and academic stuff should do good in the world). We don't really have funding for the project and we are working on a grant application to launch an in-school education project about littering in Saigon (Don't worry we don't need money). What I would really appreciate is some help to get the game up here in the form of advice and also maybe how we could make this more global. Give the game a go, it's all in Vietnamese (by deliberate design) but it's a simple runner game.  Students actually made the original Turtle design, click here.  

So my first question is, given I have the Unity files and builds made in C#, what should I do with that to optimise the website version here? I'm not a programmer but I don't mind putting my hand in my pocket to have a programmer here tweak the files. So if anyone can spare the time to give me some advice on how to direct someone to make the game ready for upload. I would really appreciate it

The second question is are any of you interested in talking to me about what we could do with this game to spread the message. If you play the game those loading screen messages in Vietnamese all have a positive message about how we can protect the environment btw. Basically I view this whole project as the first step in other projects. Make this game a success and I would be looking for grants or raiding corporate CSR programs to contribute in some way to making kids environmentally aware, in Vietnam or abroad. So please feel free to leave a reply here and I'll get back to you. Alternatively feel free to hit me up with an email at bmackx30@gmail.com

Thanks for taking the time to read. Peace Out. Brian

Thanks so much for the advice. Twitter was kinda blocked here until recently so I had an excuse to avoid it but you're right.

A friend of mine volunteered his Unity team to help me so I'm sorted there. But now I know what I need them to do. Thanks again.

One question is whether there is a quicker loading option that the WebGl option? Internet here in Vietnam can be really slow at times (Sharks keep eating the underwater cables is the local legend) So is there a potentially faster running option? The Unity screen on your game Hanging Around (Interesting stuff by the way) took over a minute to buffer for me.

Also when I host a game here other people can just play or they can download the game code?  Little confused here. I have some university branding in the game in the backgrounds and I always figured I should remove that before sharing any code online to avoid bad words or images being added to the game by someone else. 

Cheers, Brian

I think you have really helpful. Thank you so much. Hopefully the game will be used in primary schools in Sagon by the end of the year as part of an in class education game! Cheers
