An evolving discussion, mapping of ideas from the morning session of Social Gaming, centered around the energy of creating round one of a game focused on journalism.
(will add schematics later)
How do we create a game that allows people to easily add their own stories to the game?
How do we reward people who move from one level to the next?
- Gain points for collectiing # of contacts
- Gain points for number of stories published
- Points move you to different levels; perhaps allowing greater access to sources – ie. it costs you less to call the mayor beause at level 10 he returns your call; level 1 he doesn’t
What would we gain from shifiting the focus from a traditional “Big J” story to storytelling, embraciing diverstiy that comes from many people adding pieces of what they know to a “finished” product?
- Example: Five people ask the same five questions to discover what an award at a sewage plant means. When group gets back together, what story can they put together
Next session:
- Blue Sky
- Pick one angle to develop
- Proposal:
