Out this week for #chiplay2023, two papers from my doctoral project on games for climate change engagement. They both refer to the game I developed and did research with last year, 'Climate Connected: Outbreak'

[Gamification Group @GamificationGG]

🌍 New insights from our #CHIPLAY2024 paper! We explored how VR games, PC games, and textual information enhance our understanding of climate change. We found all methods effective, games, especially VR are more enjoyable and engaging!

🎮#CHIPLAY2024 we explore how games and immersive tech can bridge emotional distances. With 140 participants, we found that digital games and texts, depicting near or distant locations, equally reduce psychological distance and enhance engagement @danielfgaleote @VirtualEconomy

And Rushkoff's piece, 'Survival of the Richest' https://t.co/TwOoQ6jnG9

[Daniel Fernández Galeote @danielfgaleote]

What an excellent piece. Reminds me of Rushkoff's classic. Deep down, the economic elites do think about environmental collapse. They just have maladaptive, selfish, magical thinking-adjacent ways of dealing with it. Clueless and feel disempowered to change anything.

'Even The Millionaires Are Fed Up' https://t.co/HLZbiulTZT

[Joost Vervoort 🌌 @Vervoort_Joost]

There is something very trippy at the heart of systems change. What would happen if we would embrace being mystic poets as normal and central to life rather than as an esoteric add-in? https://t.co/kRVfxZXqGN

#Gamification provides a way to involve individuals in CC mitigation. According to our researcher @danielfgaleote games can be as effective as traditional media in engaging people w/CC + provide a more enjoyable experience #FinnishFlagships #GamificationGG

@sbasu_in Thanks a lot, Soma! :D

[Daniel Fernández Galeote @danielfgaleote]

Then, we develop the findings into a user-centered design agenda and framework for game-based climate change engagement. The framework can also be applied to game-based engagement with other complex issues! Read it here: https://t.co/NooJNz0XgW

[Daniel Fernández Galeote @danielfgaleote]

Out now, open access, our research article 'Gamification for Climate Change Engagement: A User-Centered Design Agenda'. We investigate the application of user-centered design and find key links between design choices and outcomes in 64 peer-reviewed empirical articles...
