In the soundboarding meeting with Dr Kalluri, Pralay team described the game. Dr Kalluri then asked us more questions and shared his experience of developing board games.
Dr Kalluri: What sources are you using to develop scenarios?#
Our answer: Abhishek’s expertise + secondary research + personal narratives
- Make sure to use trusted citable sources to develop scenarios if you are pitching to government or other organisations.
- Dr Kalluri assisted in making Master of Disaster for India, a game originally designed by an NGO in Philippines.
- Look at NIDM’s research. Adapt information on how to act at an individual level, what to not do, how to stay resilient, etc.
Other Feedback#
- File a Joint IP when you have the prototype ready
- Have Board Games as a Plan B since developing a video game is a grand endevour.
- Have Scenario cards? Mimic real life climate action?
