AgilEthics {idea post}

After an afternoon visit with the fabulous Game Designer Marigo Raftopoulos, we cross-pollinated ideas at the intersection of games, fun and ethics... and identified this challenge: 



Challenge:  Can we create a fun way for game designers to think about ethics?
 

AIM:

  • To engage game designers in "ethics" 
  • To make "ethics" accessible
  • To make "ethics" fun


METHOD:

  • To make ethics a game
  • To create "ethical equations" (inspired by Chip Conley's Emotional Equations
  • To provide possible "variables" for the equations but to allow users to generate their own variables
  • To design a game that runs like CodeYear of CodeAcademy (one challenge a week) to build your own equation 


FRAMEWORK:

Awareness
Genuine
Integrity
Leadership
Excellence
Trustworthiness
Humility
Interdependence
Collaboration
Service

.... have other ideas for what guiding "principles" might apply? 

MODELS:

  • Chip Conley's Emotional Equations.... what are simple ethical equations that anyone can apply when deciding what to do
  • Create a comic strip to demonstrate how the ETHICS equations apply to a game designer (create 3-4 models)
  • Make a do-it-yourself AgilEthics comic strip toolkit .... Maybe something like (www.drawastickman.com)
  • Agile design: quick testing of ideas and iterative development of one's own ethical equations
..... have other models for us to check out?

APPROACH:

Step 1: Proposed Model Equation + Optional Equation Elements
Step 2: Player Modifies the Equation 
Step 3: Modifications reveal scenarios
Step 4: Player sets Equation
Step 5: Results 
Step 6: Loop back/Follow up for feedback & evolving equations (leave room for second and third thoughts...)
