Yesterday I bought www.moderncocoafarmer.org.
I would like this website to include the following sections:
- Home page / Trailer for the game/ Buy the game.
- Teaser - A mini version of the game on the website for players as a teaser.
- About - A summary of the game, and it's mission to educate and raise money for charity/ a word about the sponsors/ their mission/ amount raised so far for causes.
- Education - A summary of relevant research into the story of child trafficking and Child slavery.
- Blog - describing, in detail, the process of making the game from research and initial sketches, through failures and demos, unexpected turns and prototypes as well as methods of collaboration.
- Meet the team - A thank you to all the people who have helped the project along/ thanks to the sponsors/ funders etc
- Jobs/opportunities- Join the team and pitch in your creative skills to add to the mission. Do you have skills as a visual artist, programmer or animator, do you want to do something for charity and get credited for your work, Well join half eaten biscuit productions and start making a difference now .
I think it's important to start to build a culture of collaboration and sharing around a project like this. I think that my project this year is partly about the game and partly about the systems and structures I set in place to support a culture of collaboration and working together towards a shared goal. This is maybe my role as the designer, to set up the methods of collaborative working which allow a project such as Modern Cocoa farmer to work.
