Later today @matteo_uguzzoni and I are having a call looking at how to move forward based on our experiences with developing witness game so far. The community has been discussing the results from our experiments so far in this discussion thread. Now it is time to translate the insights into actions.
And we start by defining parameters by answering a few questions:
-
What are the the main goals of Witness (project wise)? And what are Edgeryders goals for it? We summarised it in this document: Witness-Venture_Canvas-V1.pdf My personal goals: I have posted in a comment below
-
Who is in the design team and with which level of engagement? If you wish to be involved, this is an open invitation. Respond in a comment below telling us: what you would like to work on, how you would like to contribute/be involved, what can you commit to the process (time and attention). We will be filling in this template.
-
What is/was the Timeline? Where are we right now in it? * We have given ourselves 1 year to develop the value proposition, design and test two versions of the game, secure funds to keep developing it, fundraise for community activities including running more events and commissioning art/ stories and game development. Ideally we would have an annual community event where we come together to co-create immersive experiences in/ around witness.*
-
How many players? Donāt know
-
Digital / Non Digital? Both/ different variants adapted to context
-
IRL or also over calls? Depends on a number of factors, including how we think around securing resources for the work.
-
Facilitated vs Out of the box? Depends on a number of factors, including how we think around securing resources for the work.
-
Age restrictions? Depends on a number of factors, including how we think around securing resources for the work.
-
How does the game interact with the short stories of W? Depends on a number of factors, including how we think around securing resources for the work.
