Hi, and thank you for 8values.
First, a small apology: I'm Brazilian and my English isn't very good, so please forgive any awkward phrasing here. Also, a heads-up on how to reach me: I use Codeberg as my main repository and rarely check GitHub, so a message here on GitHub might sit unread for some time.
I'm building a single-player indie game called GusWorld (it's freeware: free, non-commercial, no ads, no paid content), and I used your quiz as the basis for an internal game-design tool: I ported the 70 questions, the per-axis scoring, and the 52-ideology table to a small Python script, purely to give fictional in-game characters (inspired by historical figures) a reproducible political-spectrum leaning that decides which kind of side-quest each character card gets.
A few things I want to be transparent about:
- It's a faithful fork/port, credited under your MIT license. The original questions and scoring math are unchanged; I kept your
LICENSE verbatim and wrote an ATTRIBUTION.md that credits 8values as the source and lists exactly what GusWorld added on top (a rightness 0-1 scalar, a Python port, and a separate, clearly-labeled game-only weighted layer).
- The weighted layer is game-only and does not modify your test. It lives in a separate script and exists solely to encode how much each axis matters inside the game's fictional world. It is not presented as an improvement to 8values or as a statement about real-world politics.
- It's a fiction project, not a political one. Everything sits under a fiction disclaimer. To quote it directly: "GusWorld is a work of fiction. [...] None of it is, or is intended to be read as, a factual, biographical or historical claim about the real person: not about what they actually believed, how they actually behaved, what their actual character or morality was, or how a rigorous historian, biographer or psychologist would assess them."
Repository (Codeberg): https://codeberg.org/petrinhu/gusworld
The port and attribution: docs/design/roster-analogos/8values-engine/
If anything about the attribution or the way I've described 8values isn't to your liking, please let me know and I'll adjust it right away. Mostly I just wanted to say thanks: the quiz was a great, well-designed foundation to build a game mechanic on.
Best,
petrus (GusWorld)
