Collaboration pathways

Help make the architecture playable.

The ecosystem needs collaborators who can preserve its history, challenge its assumptions, and translate its design principles into experiences people can use. Participation begins with a scoped conversation and written terms.

NARRATIVE DESIGN

Continuity & discovery

Map fragmented histories, design reveals, and protect distinctions among canon, adaptation, and archive.

ARCHIVE & RESEARCH

Provenance

Inventory source materials, verify dates, document decisions, and prepare evidence for practice research.

INTERACTIVE FICTION

Ink & web prototypes

Build accessible branching narratives and the Urban Alien Adventures discovery interface.

GAME SYSTEMS

Mechanics & playtests

Convert narrative principles into measurable player experiences, rules, tests, and balance studies.

ACCESSIBILITY

Inclusive architecture

Test whether discovery and strategic play work across vision, hearing, motion, and cognitive-access needs.

PRODUCTION & RIGHTS

Sustainable delivery

Develop milestones, budgets, contributor agreements, rights review, partnerships, and benefits-aware production plans.

Start with context

  1. 1. Read the ecosystem map.
  2. 2. Choose one defined project or evidence problem.
  3. 3. Share a relevant portfolio, repository, publication, or lived-experience perspective.
  4. 4. Agree in writing on scope, access, credit, rights, compensation status, and review authority before work begins.

Participation status

A public repository, conversation, issue, or pull request is not by itself an offer of employment, academic credit, compensation, revenue share, ownership, or canon authority. Each requires explicit written agreement. Opportunities must be labeled paid, funded research, academic, volunteer, exploratory, or awaiting funding.

Propose a focused contribution

Email the project, the problem you can help solve, the evidence of your experience, your availability, and whether you require compensation or institutional approval. Do not send confidential records in an initial message.
