#SelfieChaos was a personal short-form exploration and pokes fun at current society by observing modern online trends and contemporary social interaction. The game allows the player to see the game world through their mobile’s front-facing camera and to use the sandbox environment to creatively express themselves through a combination of emergent gameplay and in-game goals. The resulting ‘selfie’ is then ranked through a fake in-game social media platform (similar to Facebook/Instagram) in which the AI likes and shares the photo/vine which in turn increases points and follower count.
The game is a reflection on current societal trends and the desire to be liked, the obsession with increasing follower counts and the over-the-top nature of the most viral images.
