The mechanic of the game creates a feeling of high intensity to fill the paper with the content meeting the two criteria: relevancy and positivity about the Republia and the government. The game provides a timer in the top left corner creating deadline pressure to have the paper finalized before it is time to print. The goal of the game is to increase the loyalty from 0 to 20. By including these two focuses, the more likely I am to raise the public’s loyalty. The article must showcase the positive things taking place in Republia and the government. It was up to me to determine size value upon relevancy. I have three choices for the size of the article. The mechanic of the game is click on the newspaper article as they slowly come through the feed and place it on a newspaper frame. With a war over and an uprising suppressed, the game uses the paper to recreate loyalty to the government through the selected Republia Times content. The Republia Times was an awards nominee at the Games for Change Festival in both the categories of Best Gameplay and Most Significant Impact.Alana Osborne: The Republia Times game provides a personal experience as the editor-in-chief of the paper The Republic Times. As the editor-in-chief of the paper The Republic Times, I had three days to increase the public’s loyalty to the paper through selection of front-page article content. The conflict – and its resolution – is where this game truly distinguishes itself. It is well worth it to play through to the end of the game, even if it takes you several attempts. Sabotaging the government means risking not only your life, but that of your family’s as well. The more loyal the public, the better your family is treated. Every day within the game, you receive status updates on the condition of your wife and children. Several days into your work at The Republia Times, you are contacted by the rebellion, who wants you to sabotage Republia by turning the public against its government. The Republia Times is not just a propaganda machine as well, and you must balance your political agenda with interesting articles that will secure a large reader base. This is good because there is often a lack of positive stories about the totalitarian government as they crush the rebellion and oppress their citizens. In managing your newspaper (and public opinion), you must select articles as they come into the newsroom, making sure to pick flattering stories – “The Honorable and Great Leader Awarded Lifetime Glory Medal” – and ignoring unflattering stories – “The Honorable and Great Leader Photographed in Women’s Clothes.” The larger that you make articles on the page, the more loyalty they generate. Republia is run by an Orwellian, totalitarian government, and is “keeping your wife and children in a safe location” until you can increase the loyalty of the public by highlighting good things about the Republian government. The Republia Times puts you into the shoes of the editor-in-chief of the national newspaper of Republia, a fictional country recovering from a war with its neighbor, Antegria. ![]()
