Hiya
Thanks Michael for coming along and for being so positive about the
project : )
We are really pleased with the way it all turned out.
Dave, it's just on for the weekend (sorry for slow reply).
But you can play the 5 game levels by clicking on this link
http://www.playyourplace.co.uk/playsouthwestminster
The games are:
/'What Will You Save?' /in which you choose what matters most to you -
dogs, community spirit, public services, or the simple pleasures of a
sunny day?
/'Dog Snog'/ - find a dog a loving home?
Now that Boris has closed the London firestations you have to douse the
blazing fires across Westminster yourself in/'On Fire, Oh No!'?/
Play /'Cash Grab'/ and kill the spirit of community?
or opt for eternal sunshine in Pimlico by evading threats in /'Save the
Day!'/?
All the themes were developed with residents of South Westminster at the
SouthWestFest Gala Day. Their ideas shaped the game designs and their
drawings form the building blocks of the game - avatars, background
settings, obstacles, rewards etc.
Soon I'll be able to post some parts of the film that Pete Gomes made-
so that you can see and hear the people behind the games: coppers,
firemen, students, churchgoers, dog lovers, futurologists etc. aged 5-75
(at a guess)
I'd like to hear what you think Dave- as I think that there are
cross-overs with our work.

You missed a treat Dave! Fantastic to see a Furtherfield presence
at the Tate and such a lovely project too. Beautiful new games
(even to my unsteady hand and uneducated eye) and a lovely
documentary by Pete Gomes about the process. Congratulations to
Ruth and Mary and to all involved...I believe it's still there
over the weekend so definitely worth getting to if you can.
