I'm working on a personnal project called "Octa Solis" (just little stories taking place in a solarpunk city)! It turned out pretty good i think but in my next concepts i'd like them to be a lot more solarpunk in the designs Ultimately I'll try and animate it! 😁
I really liked the aesthetics of this game. It tackles many very topical social issues, it is inclusive, and it is a European (French) indie game. The only downside I had was that even with motion sickness disabled, driving the van made me feel sick.
Here's what it's about :
"In Caravan SandWitch, embark on a journey across a Sci-Fi Provence-like world, driven by a mystery through your missing sister that unfolds with each step you take.
Interact with the communities on Cigalo, help them with their tasks and meet new people along the way. Take your time to explore the world, whether in your van or on foot.
Life is simple: no combat, no death, no timer, just you, your van, and the world."
Here's the trailer :

I feel like it's wrong to associate Solarpunk and Frutiger Aero aesthetics.
I know that Frutiger Aero is a huge thing for a lot of us, i do feel appeal as well. And many time when i see solarpunk image i do see resemblances with some images of back then. But i feel that there is something bad about this.
Wasn't it just a commercial hook to make us feel like capitalism is good and green ? i mean it principally exist as design for products or images campaign, it is a pure northern capitalistic aesthetic (the worst are the white hands handing the world or the new nokia https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Frutiger_Aero)
I'm confuse when i see it infuse in solarpunk...
btw i'm french so here is my original thought :
J'ai l'impression qu'il y a un problème à associer les esthétiques Solarpunk et FrutigerAero. Je sais que ce courant est assez important parmi nous, et en premiére ligne, j'avoue j'aime regarder ces images. Plusieurs fois en consultant ce qui est proposé pour le Solarpunk ca m'a fortement rappelé frutigeraero. Pourtant je sens que quelque chose ne va pas la dedans. Est ce que cette esthetique n'a pas toujours été qu'un pantin pour rendre le capitalisme attrayant, en nous faisant penser qu'il était écologique ? Ca n'a jamais existé que pour vendre des trucs, et pour moi c'est l'essence même du capitalisme occidental. (les mains blanches qui tiennent le monde ou le nouveau nokia sont vraiment cringe https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Frutiger_Aero) Je suis vraiment confuse quand a son mélange avec le solarpunk...
