Republicans and Democrats often overestimate how extreme the differences between the two sides. They hold misperceptions about the other side that results in more distrust and animosity. We will design a fun wordle-like game to correct these misperceptions. This is the second such game we are building. Grab a friend and play GuesSync (www.guessync.com), a two-player party game we built earlier this year.
Must haves:
Experience building applications with Javascript and React
Interested in game design and development
Nice to have:
Experience using Google Cloud/AWS infrastructure
Experience in UX design
Comfortable with playtesting prototypes
The project start date is early October. The position will initially be till the end of the semester but can be extended based on progress made. We expect to build multiple such games to correct political misperceptions till Summer 2023.
Coding with JS/React to build the game
Iteratively build the game with frequent playtesting
Host the game on Google Cloud infrastructure
Available to meet once a week
While the game will be built from scratch, we already have game designs to guide development.
We also will be borrowing the cloud infrastructure from the existing guessync game.
