Everything Matt-ers

----------------------------------------------

Welcome to "Everything Matt-ers"! This is a small game I made with my friends during a school-mandated (environment activity day project thing). We spent the entire school day on this and lost our minds in the process. 

I'm a new game developer still trying to figure out half of the buttons on GameMaker Studio 2, so please forgive me for the bugs that I totally know how to fix... There are a bunch of problems to be addressed, but I thought that this skeleton of a game would be okay to publish as a first finished project.

Now onto the moral of this entire thing: My group focused on how small day-to-day actions can pile up over the course of your life. Your actions have consequences. Everything, quite literally, matters. The point of this game is to get you to consider the effects your choices have on the environment, the people around you, and more importantly, the future. I'm not telling you to change everything that you do, but rather to make small choices, bring a reusable bag while shopping, or take the bus during an outing once in a while, etc. Something small. 

Everything matters, no matter how big or small.
