With a grant from the Knight Foundation, the new game being developed through Drexel University's Entrepreneurial Game Studio allows players to act as city managers in West Philadelphia's Mantua.
With development led by educator and game designer Frank Lee and supported by Gossamer Games, a local game dev studio that got its start with Drexel’s game design lab, SIM-PHL is one of three Philadelphia projects to receive funding from this Knight funding. The others are Neighborhood-Led Permitting, a project to let residents know about construction in their neighborhoods, and Edit the City!, a South Street Headhouse District project allowing residents to help conceptualize what the area will look after COVID-19.
