VIDEO GAME PROJECTS
We’re Team Nava Games, a purpose-driven indie studio from Leipzig, Germany, creating narrative video games that combine entertainment with sustainable impact. Our games blend emotional storytelling, innovative game design, and scientific insights to inspire players, foster curiosity, and encourage a deeper appreciation for nature. 🌍
Update 08/2026: What an incredible gamescom 2026!
Thank you to everyone who made it possible – to Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung GmbH (MDM), the City of Leipzig, and Saxony Trade & Invest Corp. for their support, to all our meeting partners for the inspiring conversations, and especially to every player who tried VIVID and shared their feedback with us. The response was overwhelmingly positive and it means the world to us! 💚
We’re now taking all of that feedback straight into development: VIVID’s demo is on its way, launching on Steam end of September 2026.
Stay tuned!
VIVID
Experience nature from a completely new perspective. Be a Plant.
VIVID invites you to experience the world through the perspective of plants.
Inspired by scientific research and ecological storytelling, you’ll germinate, grow, adapt, and survive in a living environment shaped by climate, biodiversity, and the passage of time. 🌱
Combining real biology with innovative gameplay, VIVID is probably the world’s first scientifically grounded cozy plant survival simulation — inviting players to rediscover their connection with nature.
Planned for PC, Switch and mobile devices in 2027, with additional platforms under consideration. 📱

VALUES WE SHARE
Our mission is to create video games that entertain, inspire, and encourage people to see the natural world from new perspectives.
We believe meaningful games can foster curiosity, empathy, and responsibility while remaining fairly priced, free from microtransactions and dark patterns, and developed as resource-efficiently as possible. 🎯
Our vision is a future where video games do more than entertain — they inspire people to appreciate, protect, and reconnect with nature.
We believe creativity can help build a more sustainable, compassionate, and hopeful world. 💚
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
We build games that make ecological connections visible, so players better understand nature and humanity’s role in it.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability shapes the way we work, from responsible development practices to creating games designed for lasting value instead of short-term monetization.
COEXISTENCE
We believe every species plays a role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Our games celebrate biodiversity and the connections that unite all forms of life.
ANIMAL WELFARE
We believe animals deserve respect. Our games promote compassionate representation and reject unnecessary harm.
