In the card battle conversations of All Will Rise, you’ll have to work hard upgrading cards to get other people to see your point of vie- wait, hang on… what did you say, Shabeer? Huh… what an interesting perspective! It’s good to be open-minded too!

One of the best moves.

Listen, we know it’s a drastic measure. But, sometimes desperate times call for exactly that. Getting your opponent to see your point of view may take some trauma dumping, but hey, if it gets the job done, we won’t judge you for it.

The city of Muziris needs you: someone who cares about the people. Around the city, missions will pop up that will allow you to have a positive impact on the people sticking up for Muziris. Go forth, and you may find some great rewards.

My serotonin levels would greatly increase if a couple people could wishlist us on Kickstarter 🫠

And you'd get serotonin from playing a game about taking billionaires to court for destroying the freaking planet.

Now we all get serotonin

WISHLIST ALL WILL RISE!

For instance, one of the things you need to focus on is caring for your team - making sure their hearts, minds and guts are energized. Make sure they don't burn out, and give them time off to do things they love that re-energize them.

JUST LOOK AT THIS. THIS. THIS IS AMAZING. Cards being reframed in terms of language as the arguments develop. I loved this SO MUCH when I first saw it. Captures so much of what we're trying to do. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #discourse

As we continue polishing aspects of All Will Rise, we’ve just worked on our Card Reframing! When you gather evidence and speak to people around Muziris, you will be able to reframe your cards for conversations. Let’s see what claims you can make undeniable!

This research was part of the inspiration for @allwillrise.bsky.social, since the game aims to give concrete experiences about how social change happens between people - and the joy, frustration, humanity, humor and messiness of that. #indiedev #gamedev

Joost Vervoort @joostvervoort.bsky.social · 4d

It's a great paper also for people who just want to learn about different conceptions of caring for the future! Written for Anticiplay and STRATEGIES!

Joost Vervoort @joostvervoort.bsky.social · 4d

However, a so far largely unexplored design space exists: games that teach tangible care skills. In addition, there is space for games that really flesh out their future worlds much more than is currently the case.

Joost Vervoort @joostvervoort.bsky.social · 4d

Using a framework for conceptualizing care, we found that many approaches exist, from more systemic to more narrative or background/worldbuilding approaches.

Joost Vervoort @joostvervoort.bsky.social · 4d

PAPER ALERT! 🔥How can we use theories of care to understand how games can help us care more for the future in the face of climate change? Carien Moossdorff and I investigated 287 climate-related games on they engage with care for the future. Now in FUTURES! Link below! #games #climate #futures

Feel the fire! Feels good, right? In All Will Rise, during the card battle conversations, you’ll play cards to influence the emotional energies of those speaking. Play your cards right, and you can take an emotion to its peak and feel the benefits flow through you.

The port of Muziris is a hub of activity, full of hard-working people who depend on the lifeblood of the river. When the river is murdered, the people of Muziris turn to you for justice.
