I was given a lot of freedom, so I launched a research project called Tevi. One of the outputs of the project was a prototype of a mobile game also called Tevi , presented in the video below:. Tevi is a mobile video game designed to increase nature awareness. Tevi has been created in partnership with the Eden Project full credits in the video description.
It uses interactive evolutionary computation to simulate a garden. We were seeking to raise awareness of young adults on nature, botanical and conservational issues. The aim was to create a game matching years old interests, especially those with low interest in nature. We wanted to know whether a gardening mobile game could effectively promote nature awareness. At the moment, I feel that there are many things I would like to change about the game, even though we had positive feedback from the players.
I am especially questioning the narrative Mars conquest and the choice of exotic plants as being colonialistic and not as benefic as could be in a domestic setting.
More on that soon! Tevi and Vestigia are projects I develop in a team with research-creation and user-research methods. It means I am both designing, developing games on these projects, and analyzing their reception on players. It was a commercial game released in The principle of this method is to focus on the creation process of an art piece, rather than analysing the result only.
In this blog, I will discuss these projects and their evolution, as well as the underlying theory and the literature review associated with the topic of video games and natural heritage.
