Vision Statement:

I’m working with farmers, community members, web app developers and game designers on a conceptual based game, which will be built to help every citizen of the country to practise agriculture and in this way I connect farmers, NGOs and other common people into the network, who can help in teaching the modules and also inturn help in donating the food to people below the poverty line of the country.

Hello Bhuvana,
How do you ensure that the game is taught by the farmers considering that we have still have hiccups in providing the last time connectivity? Also, How do you plan on incentivizing the active contributors?

Your project sounds very interesting and exciting!

A few comments and points for clarification on your vision:

• When you say 'the country' are you referring to a specific country, or indicating that you would develop multiple, country-specific games?
• There may be a helpful distinction/clarification to make between urban gardening/rural farming, and whether the game aims to address one or both of these. The target audiences and the type of knowledge needed for these activities may differ substantially (depending on the context).
• The logical and practical links between agricultural training and donating food to people below the poverty line could be clarified.

An interesting project, but I have a question about which branch it would take if it depended on organic agriculture or not, what does it point to? If it depended on the teaching of organic agriculture, the farmers or the players would have a better knowledge about the techniques to fight the pests, without making use of transgenics ...

Hello everyone! First of all thank you all for taking interest on my project. Definitely I will answer all your questions and I will be also updating my roadmap & Open Canvas soon which may also give a clear vision of my goals behind this project. Sorry for the delayed response.

Hello Bhuvana,
How do you ensure that the game is taught by the farmers considering that we have still have hiccups in providing the last time connectivity? Also, How do you plan on incentivizing the active contributors?

The farmers will basically give an idea of how agriculture patterns work to the game designers and it is the game designers and developers who will take these raw inputs as a basic theme for the application. For contributors or the people who play this game will get access to these farmer's fresh products from their fields at the local cost fixed by the farmers and also there will many levels to unlock as you progress.

Thanks and glad that you found my project interesting!

I can give more clarity on the doubts you have:

• I have plans to do the game based on different agriculture patterns depending on each the country practices.
• This game is targeted to only those who are interested in learning or want to practice agriculture in their homes so there will be options to choose urban or rural gardening depending on their interests and where they reside. Also, there will be classifications for users like : Beginners, Intermediate and Experts so the users will know where to begin from.
• There will be different levels to unlock in the game as the user clears every level he/she will get the access to farmer's products which will be prices according to the farmer's fixed rates(which will be less than the market rates) and if anyone who wants to claim these fresh products can buy it for themselves or can donate to the hunger.

For now I have not still thought of this because it will depend mostly on the farmers who will give inputs based on what they are practising in their day to day life. Anyway thanks for the suggestion, I shall brainstorm more on this.

Have made a rough Road map and will draft the final one when the basic UI and UX of the game is completed.
