DrupalCon as a Game
DrupalCon as a Game
Follow creation of a Drupal-focused Alternate Reality Game in the style of Pokemon Go you can play during DrupalCon. Game design, web APIs, and native mobile apps have been used to create a game for you to play and beta test during the conference.
This session matches up a game designer and a Drupal veteran trying to design, build and launch this game in 5 months with no budget and even less free time. Join us to hear about our challenges and successes, and possibly learn something about creating Drupal sites in the process.
The 2024 DrupalCon Game, name TBD, lets you take on the role of a person trying to research new solutions for a client at a web development conference. Your actions in the real world helps you complete Story Points in-game, and collecting information within the conference can help increase your focus so you can close out your work even faster.
Have you visited every booth at the expo hall? Have you been to a session on every floor of the convention center? Have you met someone who lives on the other side of the globe? In your hometown?
The game really exists, and you can playtest the beta version along with us all week long as we collect connections, badges and unlock special items. While contributing to its creation by providing valuable QA data.
