As @matteo_uguzzoni explained in this post, the online game “A Town by the Sea” was developed as a pilot, in the framework of the Playful Futures project. We’ve already organized a couple of prologue and play sessions and now we are also opening the game to teams.
We thought our online game would be a fun experience for a group of friends or colleagues, as a team building activity. So in the next month, we have timeslots available and the exact timing is arranged individually with the interested teams.
We are playing in small groups of 3 to 6 people, in English, using Zoom and Miro. The game sessions are facilitated by @matteo_uguzzoni or @LucijaKla
If you’re working in a company, NGO, or any other type of institution, or if you’re simply interested to join with your friends, send us an email to: info@culturehubcroatia.hr or comment here below.
There is still time to join individually as well, and participate in the two prologue sessions happening tonight and tomorrow at 19h (CET). Just fill-in the form you will find here.
If it’s only @ivan and @alberto we could make it a team play EDGE & CHC, a couple of my colleagues also didn’t play yet. It could be fun, @matteo_uguzzoni what do you think?
@marina thanks for organizing this I will not able to facilitate on a Monday, but only Tuesday or Thursdays so March 7th or 9th, but Lucija will be! Question…which Distrikt would y’all want to play in?
Perfect I’ll do that later tonight…still no idea about the Distrikt you want to play? @alberto@ivan ? We have basically played a session in every Distrikt except the Covenant but maybe you know it too well and you prefer to explore something else?
Wow, I’m impressed! I really liked the experience, kudos @matteo_uguzzoni and team! Also great to play with @ivan, he knows how to breathe life into characters.
Looking forward to the ethnography, I can see how this thing can generate valuable material. My character, Reader, is an aging architect, obsessed with durability of buildings and the lives they support (probably a reflex of my involvement with The Reef). His last diary entry was this:
Reader’s diary, 2033-03-05
The last few years have been disappointing. We struggled to save Dedicarium; we won some, but lost much. Water tends to always win in the end.
I hope that the citizens of Dedicarium can find wisdom when making the tough choices that await, and peace after they made them. Me, I want to be in the place where the choices get made, I feel a duty to help. I will spend my final years in the capital.
It was a nice session indeed! Thank you for the experience.
With a bittersweet ending, unlike the last time where the tragic element prevailed.
Reader was a cool character, but Laly, Brunilla and Umberto (D.) were realistic and lively too.
So long, amigos
March 2043, excerpt from Armando’s diary: "…I dreamed of sea again. Grown too old to put up with this stress. I miss the old harbour and the fishermen on the docks at dawn. The wind is fair, the weather is nice, setting sail for S-SW. Won’t be coming back. The ocean is home, as it always has been"
