GAMES IN THE CITY
FOR EVERYONE TO MAKE,
SHARE AND PLAY!
URBLOVE combines urban exploring, storytelling and games with
user-created content. It is a service for location-based mobile
games as well as an online community where games are distributed
and users can create their own games and share their experiences.
People are constantly on the look-out for new activities that can satisfy
their need for everyday adventures. There is also a desire to be the
co-creator of these activities. This desire is the foundation of the
project URBLOVE.
Integration is a very topical issue in our society. Prejudices are easily
created around certain suburbs or other areas in the city. Many young
people almost never go outside of the area where they live. There is a
need to create incentives for people to visit and explore other neighbourhoods.
Our idea is that this can be done in a playful way through a
tool such as URBLOVE.
Many more pictures, and more info about this project, will come soon (sara 20110130) |
