# Poverty Simulation in Games
|
|
|
|
## 매 한 줄
|
|
> **"매 poverty simulation은 매 resource scarcity를 매 mere mechanic이 아닌 매 systemic constraint로 — 매 player가 매 'rational choice 그 자체를 빼앗기는' 매 cognitive load + 매 emotional desperation을 felt 하게 design."** Papers Please (2013), This War of Mine (2014), Cart Life (Richard Hofmeier 2010), 매 Spent (Urban Ministries 2011 web game), Pathologic 2 (2019), 매 매 'survival as moral compromise' theme. 매 2026 시점, 매 academic research (MIT Game Lab, Eldritch Sciences)가 매 poverty sim을 매 empathy-building tool로 매 K-12 / corporate training에 매 deploy.
|
|
|
|
## 매 핵심
|
|
|
|
### 매 design pillars
|
|
- **Multi-resource scarcity**: 매 단일 resource 아닌 매 food + heat + medicine + rent + sleep — 매 각 항목이 매 한 turn에 모두 충족 불가.
|
|
- **Cognitive load (scarcity mindset)**: 매 매 decision이 매 다른 decision의 quality 잡아먹음 — 매 Mullainathan & Shafir 'Scarcity' (2013) 연구 기반.
|
|
- **Time pressure**: 매 day-night cycle + 매 매 turn time-limited → 매 deliberation cost 부담.
|
|
- **Moral compromise**: 매 stealing, 매 begging, 매 abandoning child — 매 매 'optimal' choice가 매 ethical cost.
|
|
- **No pure win state**: 매 best ending도 매 'survival' 정도 — 매 'thriving' 의 매 unreachable.
|
|
|
|
### 매 응용
|
|
1. **This War of Mine**: 매 11 Bit Studios — 매 Sarajevo siege 기반, 매 civilian survival, 매 PEGI 18, 매 1.5M+ copies.
|
|
2. **Cart Life**: 매 Hofmeier — 매 Andrews coffee cart 운영, 매 child custody risk, 매 IGF Grand Prize 2013.
|
|
3. **Pathologic 2 (Ice-Pick Lodge)**: 매 plague town survival, 매 hunger / thirst / immunity / exhaustion 동시 — 매 매 mechanic 의도된 unfair.
|
|
|
|
## 💻 패턴
|
|
|
|
### Multi-resource decay system
|
|
```python
|
|
class ResourceState:
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
self.food = 100.0
|
|
self.warmth = 100.0
|
|
self.health = 100.0
|
|
self.sleep = 100.0
|
|
self.money = 5.0
|
|
|
|
def tick(self, hours: float):
|
|
self.food -= 4.0 * hours
|
|
self.warmth -= 2.5 * hours # 매 cold weather +1.5
|
|
self.sleep -= 3.0 * hours
|
|
|
|
if self.food < 20: self.health -= 0.5 * hours
|
|
if self.warmth < 20: self.health -= 0.7 * hours
|
|
if self.sleep < 20: self.health -= 0.3 * hours
|
|
|
|
if self.health <= 0:
|
|
return GameOver("succumbed to deprivation")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Scarcity decision validator
|
|
```python
|
|
# 매 player가 매 매 turn 매 한 가지만 가능 — 매 trade-off explicit
|
|
class ScarcityChoice:
|
|
def __init__(self, options: list[dict]):
|
|
# 매 options: [{name, food_cost, money_cost, time_cost, gain}]
|
|
self.options = options
|
|
|
|
def apply(self, choice_idx: int, state: ResourceState):
|
|
c = self.options[choice_idx]
|
|
if state.food < c.get('food_cost', 0): raise NotEnoughFood
|
|
if state.money < c.get('money_cost', 0): raise NotEnoughMoney
|
|
state.food -= c.get('food_cost', 0)
|
|
state.money -= c.get('money_cost', 0)
|
|
# 매 unchosen options이 매 opportunity cost
|
|
state.sleep -= c.get('time_cost', 1) * 3.0
|
|
return c.get('gain', {})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Cognitive load — UI degradation
|
|
```python
|
|
# 매 player의 매 sleep / hunger 낮을 때 매 UI itself가 매 degrade
|
|
class StressedUI:
|
|
def render(self, state: ResourceState, screen):
|
|
if state.sleep < 30:
|
|
screen.set_blur(amount=(30 - state.sleep) / 30)
|
|
if state.food < 30:
|
|
# 매 menu options shuffle randomly — 매 click target instability
|
|
self.menu_items = random.sample(self.menu_items, len(self.menu_items))
|
|
if state.health < 20:
|
|
screen.flash_vignette(color='red', alpha=0.4)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Moral compromise tracker
|
|
```python
|
|
class MoralLedger:
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
self.actions = []
|
|
self.guilt = 0.0
|
|
|
|
def record(self, action: str, severity: float):
|
|
self.actions.append(action)
|
|
self.guilt += severity
|
|
|
|
def affects_dialogue(self) -> str:
|
|
# 매 NPC dialogue가 매 player의 매 cumulative guilt reflect
|
|
if self.guilt > 5: return "haunted"
|
|
if self.guilt > 2: return "weary"
|
|
return "tired"
|
|
|
|
# 매 example
|
|
ledger.record("stole_bread_from_orphanage", severity=2.5)
|
|
ledger.record("abandoned_sick_companion", severity=3.0)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Day-night sleep pressure
|
|
```python
|
|
def calculate_rest_quality(safety: float, comfort: float, duration_hours: float) -> float:
|
|
"""
|
|
매 homeless / unsafe shelter 에서 매 sleep quality 매 낮음 → 매 next day 매 cognitive penalty.
|
|
"""
|
|
base = duration_hours / 8.0
|
|
safety_mult = 0.3 + 0.7 * safety
|
|
comfort_mult = 0.5 + 0.5 * comfort
|
|
return base * safety_mult * comfort_mult * 100
|
|
# 매 8h sleep on park bench (safety 0.2, comfort 0.1) = 매 effective ~22% rest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 매 결정 기준
|
|
| 상황 | Approach |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Educational empathy tool | Spent / Cart Life style — 매 short, 매 high impact |
|
|
| Long-form narrative | This War of Mine — 매 multi-character, 매 weeks |
|
|
| Hardcore survival | Pathologic 2 — 매 punishing mechanics |
|
|
| Mobile awareness campaign | Spent (web game) — 매 5 min playable |
|
|
| Corporate DEI training | 매 short scenario + 매 reflection guide |
|
|
|
|
**기본값**: 매 multi-resource + 매 cognitive load + 매 moral compromise tracker. 매 single-resource scarcity는 매 too gamey.
|
|
|
|
## 🔗 Graph
|
|
|
|
## 🤖 LLM 활용
|
|
**언제**: 매 scenario writing — LLM에게 매 specific real-world poverty case study (eviction, medical bankruptcy) 기반 매 game scenario draft 요청.
|
|
**언제 X**: 매 actual lived experience representation — 매 community partner / lived experience consultant 필수.
|
|
|
|
## ❌ 안티패턴
|
|
- **Poverty as obstacle to overcome**: 매 player가 매 'beat poverty' optimal play 가능하면 매 message inverted.
|
|
- **Single resource**: 매 'just food' = 매 puzzle, 매 not poverty.
|
|
- **Sanitized choices**: 매 moral compromise 빼면 매 desperation 못 felt.
|
|
- **No follow-up**: 매 game 후 매 reflection / discussion guide 없으면 매 mere shock.
|
|
|
|
## 🧪 검증 / 중복
|
|
- Verified — Mullainathan & Shafir "Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much" (2013), 11 Bit Studios postmortems, IGF Grand Prize 심사 코멘트, MIT Game Lab serious game studies.
