See that? That’s\u00a0you!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For our project, Send More People<\/a>\u00a0is going to make a game where you play as a mosquito spreading the malaria virus. Gameplay will be about finding your victim and biting them “properly” to prevent yourself getting caught. Ideally the player learns something about the process, and about NGOs seeking to combat the disease.<\/p>\n

I spent the night thinking (and dreaming) of ideas… I think I have a decent idea, mechanically, of how the game will play. But there’s no time to waste! I’ve got to get deving if I want a complete project.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned here or on our Twitter feed<\/a> for more developments.<\/p>\n \n
