The projectis notable for its ambition and its potential risks. While the state of game development in South Africa and the continent at large is stronger than ever,Democracy Africawas chiefly developedby twoBritish men who have never been to Africa. RS 07 Gold Producer Cliff Harris recently acknowledged that while he'skeenly aware of this weakness, hedidn't want to avoid tackling the project because hedidn't at the outset, at least know much about the continent.Most people don't either.

They only know about Africa from TV reports of either terrorism or drought. It's the setting nobody knows they want, he told Zam at GDC last month. I didn't want to not do it out of fear, because that just reinforces yet another reason not to cover Africa.From a game maker's perspective, it's interesting to study how they gathered and interpreted socioeconomic data for the project, then implemented it into the game. Cheap RS Gold Stargazy Studios founder Jeffrey Sheen worked with Harris to design and programDemocracy Africa, and he told Zam he interpreted data from multiple sources, including government officials, analysts, aid workers and nongovernmental agency experts.Despite that, he admits there will always be oversights, inconsistencies and bias the trick is figuring out what to use, and what to ignore.

As a designer, you're making calls on this sort of stuff all the time. If you wanted a data source that gave you a completely untainted relationship between, say, oil price and the opinions of the wealthy, it doesn't exist. You just have to look at the trends in your research and make a call,RS Gold he told Zam, noting that he collected data in a mega matrix of connected spreadsheets to try and discern the threads of systemic commonality required to respectfully and accurately represent their economies, their societies.For more on the development ofDemocracy Africaand how its creators deal with the fact that designing a game about politics means making a series of political statements, check out the full featureover on Zam.
