Procedural Feminism Through Game Design: Towards an Analytical Framework for Situating Games as Feminist Artefacts
The SPIRAL framework serves as a novel analytical tool designed to evaluate digital games as feminist artifacts, moving beyond simple representational analysis to examine how game mechanics and systems encode ideological values.
- The SPIRAL framework is introduced as an analytical tool to evaluate how digital games function as feminist artefacts by tracing how values are embedded within design systems.
- The framework extends the traditional MDA (Mechanics, Dynamics, Aesthetics) model by incorporating feminist ethics, affect theory, and decolonial epistemologies to assess the ethical depth of game systems.
- The analysis emphasizes that visibility and representation alone do not guarantee equity, warning that such approaches can often slide into tokenism or reinforce normative assumptions.
