I made a social simulation-ish prototype in PyGame as well – mine was about opinions of issues. I’d have people arranged in a grid that would hold opinions about an issue that would influence each other each turn if they were connected. The player could move connection lines each turn.

I ran into a problem similar to yours. It just turned into a bunch of flickering numbers that didn’t inspire much feeling, and I lost interest. But now, I feel like digging it up and seeing what specifically lead to that! Thanks for the post.

Your “chunking” of social groups made me think of a spatial metaphor: placing a spring between characters to physically draw them closer or further away from the hovered over player,. Thus groups would clench together physically. That’s a useful aspect of shooter/spatial mechanics to bring over. Indeed I wanted to make a space ship game where factions aren’t discreet, but rather were emergent out of their general desire to cluster with trustworthy allies.

When prom was announced, and the idea of “social physics” was mentioned, this was immediately what I thought of.

You know I already saw this, but I still think it’s great exploratory work, and we’ll worth as many stabs as you can suffer to give it!
