In week two, we dived into researches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found some games related to sustainable development. However, their scopes were small, and we believed they could not educate the audience on the essence and were not helpful to understand how these 17 goals correlated to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before diving into game design, we believed it was crucial to understanding SD and 17 goals as game designers. Thus, we researched 17 goals and exchanged our knowledge and opinions about how these goals make society more sustainable. We created a research board to store all the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we had some essential knowledge about SD and its 17 goals, we pitched game design ideas and successfully generated three designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demographic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We conducted 5 user interviews on our target users\u2019 opinions and knowledge about sustainable development and created personas that summarize all the info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
