Scavengers will allow players to experience vast play spaces, densely populated with satisfying AI combatants and supported by rich simulation of the surrounding world, providing endless emergent gameplay possibilities resulting from the interplay of human competitors and AI adversaries within a large, dynamic world. Large and unpredictable AI populations, combined with the balance of co-operation and competition between the human players, will create rich, repeatable gameplay. Players will begin each game by equipping their Explorer, venturing into the wilds, competing and allying with other human players to complete objectives, gathering resources and battling against AI-controlled enemy factions. The game will combine exploration, survival and combat elements, while maintaining a focus on teamwork and cooperative game mechanics.
#Scavengers live event registration#
Unlike other travel grants, Time Scavengers pays the cost of conference registration fees up front instead of through reimbursement, thus taking some financial burden off the participants.Ĭlick here to learn more about the travel grant and who Tilly Edinger was.Scavengers puts players in the role of young explorers fighting in a not-so-distant future, where cataclysmic events have triggered a new ice age.
The Tilly Edinger Travel Grant for students and avocational scientists is designed to help offset the costs of conferences, thus increasing accessibility of these events. One of the major barriers to overcome is the cost of attending such events, which are critical to forming new friendships, finding mentors and advisors, and learning about cutting-edge science. Major structural and socio-economic hurdles today, however, make it difficult to nearly impossible for certain groups to attend conferences and participate in the broader geoscience community. To any geoscientists that have made it to our site: if you would like to write a post for our ‘Meet the Scientist’ blog, please contact us! Our focus is on research broadly related to the ocean, climate, and evolution, but we would love to feature a greater diversity of research areas! The Tilly Edinger Travel Grant for Students and Avocational ScientistsĪ major goal of Time Scavengers is to make the geosciences more accessible to everyone, through easy-to-understand text, images, and blogs. The pages under ‘Introductory Material’ can be found below:
We strongly suggest you begin by reading pages under ‘Introductory Material’ to understand general science terms, the concepts of geologic time and how we correlate the rock record, what the field of paleoclimatology entails, and what paleontology is and the fossil record. This website is designed to provide you with the geologic foundation necessary to understand science related to climate change and evolution. Why is it important to understand climate change and evolution?Ĭlick here to read our Mission and Vision statements A Virtual Classroom: How Time Scavengers Works Background Material.How do we know evolution took place, and where does the data come from?.What are the implications of a rapidly changing climate?.How do we know the Earth is warming, and where does the data come from?.You’ve probably heard about climate change and evolution in the news and on social media, but what are these concepts, and how do we know they’re ‘real’? We’ve made the site to help you understand more about both of these concepts and answer some questions, such as:
Contact us if you have additional resources for us to add.Ĭlimate change is one of the biggest problems facing humanity and life on Earth today, and one of the most fundamentally misunderstood scientific theories is evolution.
