Terra Habitus
is creating a climate effort tracking gameAbout Terra Habitus
'Terra Habitus' is my quest to have a positive impact on the world.
I am building an app with which normal people like you and me can track their climate efforts, have fun and compete with friends and family to save the world.
My name is Tom Vergult. I am the father of 2 kids and I am a professional software and game developer with over 15 years of experience.
While I try to do my best to recycle, reuse and watch my ecological footprint, the reality of daily life and of the society we live in often gets in the way.
In 10 years my kids will ask me why I did not do more to help save the planet. If I am honest, currently my defence sounds lame, even to my own ears.

The climate problem is not one big problem that can be fixed magically by science or politics, it is multiple problems piled on top of each other. We need to take action now, attack the problems from multiple angles and bring all the defenders of our world together.
I am using my skills as a software specialist and gameful design expert to give people an answer to questions such as:
While I am working towards a tangible 'end game', this Patreon is all about the journey. Join me on my quest. Follow my highs and lows from the early idea to the finished product and help me make decisions along the way.
