Create Your Legacy
Paint your future legacy during the chaos of a historic battle.
Game as culture
"Create Your Legacy" shifts focus from artwork to the human experiences behind it. By allowing players to be observers rather than fighters, the game explores who shapes history and cultural heritage. It fosters empathy for historical figures and connects contemporary issues with past narratives. The interactive nature of the game brings Jørgen Sonne's 'Rytterkampen ved Aarhus' to life, enabling players to engage directly with cultural heritage and its stories.
Game through culture
We presented a game where culture serves as the core material, retelling the stories of Renaissance war artists who risked their lives for their art. The game’s absurd and ironic take aims to provide comedic relief while emphasizing the power and significance of the player's creations. Feedback was appreciated but late for major changes; however, we valued suggestions to include varied story outcomes and switch from a 'killing' mechanic to a 'hiding' function.
Game for culture
The game enriches players' connection to cultural heritage by making them feel like they are the creators of the artwork. This immersive experience enhances their memory of the piece, leading them to think about the artist each time they encounter the work again.
