EMOTION-CENTRIC DESIGN: COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE NIHILISM

该项目将探索情感在说服性游戏中的作用以及持久行为变化的可能性，目的是影响社会和政治对气候变化反思、行动和激进主义的态度。迭代设计方法将探索玩家对有目的地开发的游戏体验的反应。建立游戏设计战略和战术，为玩家唤起复杂的、发人深省的和潜在的变革性时刻。这项研究将探索讲故事、机械、修辞和美学，这些都是反思气候变化不作为的最佳工具。将深入探索有前景的设计方法，以创建和建立一个工具包，其中包含设计游戏中具有说服力的时刻的最佳方法。最终为拯救地球发挥作用，这样我们才能拯救游戏。

The project will explore the role of emotion in persuasive games and the potential for lasting behavioural change with the aim to influence social and political attitudes toward climate change reflection, action and activism. An iterative design approach will explore player responses to purposefully developed play experiences. Establishing the game design strategies and tactics to evoke emotionally complex, thought-provoking and potentially transformative moments for players. The study will explore storytelling, mechanics, rhetoric and aesthetics that best act as tools for reflection on climate change inaction. Promising design methods will be explored in-depth to create and establish a toolkit of the best approaches for designing persuasive moments in games. Ultimately to play a part in saving the planet, so we can save games.
