The Fake Conference

Great Idea!

Last week my sibling and I decided to hold a fake conference so we could discuss our projects, so I created this presentation to inform her about philosophy game. (Special thanks for Ann for listening to my talk!)



After the presentation and some discussion, I got some interesting ideas about how to deal with the problems I had been having. I am going to start the trolley car levels at the most basic scenario and work to more complicated situations, but the first one is going to be soo soo so simple. I have also decided to just make things and see how they turn out rather then obsessing over one decision, because the obsessing is not productive and it would be better if i decided and then ended up remaking something if I changed my mind. 
The last interesting-game related thing was that I went to the philosophy department at my university and got my old ethical theory professor excited about this game! It is a giant victory to have his interest! 

The Trolley Car Level 
  • I read a long article that gave me some insight into the trolley car problem and how each philosopher would react 
  • and how each philosopher would act to several modified versions 
  • so the idea behind this level will be the very classic example of the trolley car problem 
  • a trolley car going on a track that will kill 5 people, or you can make the trolley switch tracks and kill 1 person 
  • I am working on the sketch of the level, trying to incorporate coins and level mechanics and things that make the game fun  
  • hopefully next week we can do another of those sketch to modeled level posts
