A few things we\u2019re focused on<\/h2> <\/div> <\/div>
<\/i> <\/div>
ONLINE GAMING TOXICITY<\/h5>

Toxicity is a systemic problem in today\u2019s online gaming environment. Upwards of 74% of players have reported being harrassed at least once. DTOX aims to raise awareness for this issue and explore its potential solutions.<\/p><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>

<\/i> <\/div>
TRANSFORMATIONAL EXPERIENCES<\/h5>

The experiences DTOX creates have a specific focus on transforming their players. To that end, we are utilizing the guidelines set in place by the Transformational Framework by Sabrina Culyba.<\/p><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>

<\/i> <\/div>
ENGAGING GAMEPLAY<\/h5>

We believe that engaging gameplay is an important step to keep players interested and playing our games. While it is ultimately second to our primary goal of player transformation, it is nonetheless important.<\/p><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div>

<\/i> <\/div>
ENCOURAGING DISCUSSION<\/h5>

Our final experience may be presented at the Games for Change Festival this July in New York. Given that, we want to ensure that our experience encourages players on a team to engage with one another socially, and discuss their thoughts.<\/p><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>
