Conceptual Sketch of a Game I’ll Never Make<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am inspired by Defcon to make games in which the play space is a quantified exaggeration of now or the near future. But while the play in Defcon is high level strategy, I’m more interested in exploring a citizen-scale playspace.<\/p>\n

For example, a simple quanitifcation is a multiplayer online game set in a scenario in which a large corporation is dominating the landscape with a very simple goal to its behavior ; within its possibility, it rearranges its behavior continuously in order to maximize its own profit.<\/p>\n

All the human players are left with the task to topple this pre-exscheme; and that is the entire narrative of the game. They are given a cohesive collection of tactics which they can enact singularly, they can collaborate on, they can combine, etc. And of course it somehow introduces factions on the play level – so there is an incentive to win the game with your own movement, which may corrupt the larger motive, while making the play fun. While there is a win state , there is no necessary guarantee that the players will reach it.<\/p>\n

I just want this to be less boring than Tale in the Desert, but totally in homage to it.<\/p>\n

And I’m exactly interested in how this kind of model might redefine the possibility space of the citizen players in our real world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
