Gamifying Literacies

Hi Rodinhooders,

First, let me introduce myself. I am a reluctant PhD student at the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore. I work on disability.

Second, I am a net boomer and a digital native. I played my first game at the age of 3. Gobman aka Packman! I got my first handheld brick game at the age of 5 and since then I have been gaming away. My current fav is skyrim. 

Three, the reason I am posting now is that as an avid gamer and a firm believer in game-based learning I gamified my thesis to serve as a tool for learning inclusive literacy (essentially about disability-etiquette and being inclusive). I am calling my game The Warriors of Justice and I would like this to be a MMORPG but I am also open to it being an android-based game to go on a tablet/mobile. 

The game is like this: people with disabilities have been banished to the lost planet because they do not have equal access and opportunity. The gamers have to find the lost planet through an explorative trail where they get clues on how to find say a person with low vision/person with spinal injuries etc. The game will probably have levels and game points with badges.

I am looking for people who might be interested in collaborating with me in taking this game to the market. Takers are most welcome to contact me @ namitha29@gmail.com for a concept presentation video.

Cheers

Namitha
