Inspiration
We started by looking through the big list of provided challenges. Finally, we chose for VRT's challenge to develop something that will engage youngsters in the national elections of 19 May 2019 in Belgium. As we are youngsters, and we are also aware that politics are all around us, we went to look for a way to learn about the elections in an interactively and fun way.
What it does
You create your own faction for the Belgian elections in 2019. Your goal is to make your faction the greatest in Belgium on the 19th of May. You do this by organizing your campaign with a monthly budget. At the end of the game, you will also get an overview of your political interests based on the decisions you made in the game.
How we built it
We built it with C# in Unity because it has a lot of built-in features for game development and it is easily portable to multiple devices.
Challenges we ran into
The depths of C#. And Linux.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We made a game of which we believe that it can really have an impact on young adults.
What we learned
Unity, friendship, caffeine, you don't need sleep to be successful.
What's next for Battle of the Fractions
We hope that VRT will take our idea to a next level so it can be deployed before these elections, or maybe before the next elections and that we can proudly say that we also helped in making Belgium a more democratic place.
