Social Change Through Games: A four part series

Bottom Line Performance is a learning design company based in Indianapolis. They are creating a board based game called A Paycheck Away, "a learning game that will show what being homeless is really like…and why it is so hard for people to get out of it. The  game was selected for the 2012 Spirit and Place Festival, a coming-together of arts, religion, and humanities in Indianapolis." It is a project very much in the sharing spirit of NASAGA.

They have done a series of Posts about the game development process. It makes a good case study on game development.
