"In terms of future lines of exploration, I intend to continue investigating the most pressing educational, psychological and social issues currently explored in video game studies (academic & informal) in order to better integrate them with my topic of research and projects.

One of my goals is to start creating bridges among those video game study fields and the fields of developmental and integral psychology (theory & applications), supporting them to cross-pollinate and further expand into powerful multi-disciplinary partnerships geared towards creating new videogame genres and developing untapped market niches".

- Moses Silbiger, M.A.

Title
INDENTRO Video Game Design Framework: When AQAL = Playing Growth & Sustainability

Abstract
This poster presents a meta video game project that bridges the emerging potentials of interactive entertainment (Massive Multiplayer Online + Alternative Reality Games + Facebook + Mobile interfaces) with Integral Theory applications (Psychology, Education, Spirituality, Sustainability) and frameworks (Integral Life Practice and Integral Play) geared to catalyze horizontal and vertical development related to Sustainability. This project is based on extensive IMP research on integral video games presented in ITC 2008, integrallife.com and upcoming JITP article. It introduces a specific application of the Integral-Developmental Trojan Horse (INDENTRO) video game design framework as part of the Press Play to Grow initiative (www.PressPlaytoGrow.com)
