Bob De Schutter is the C. Michael Armstrong professor of applied game design at Miami University, where he explains the role of games in the lives of older adults and the gamification of learning. In this episode, we explore his project, Brukel, an evocative digital game that garnered acclaim as the runner-up for the Best Digital Game Award at Meaningful Play 2018. Brukel is a unique interactive experience that chronicles the life of a World War II survivor, inspired by the recollections of Bob's grandmother, who lived through the war on the front lines at her family's farmhouse in Belgium.
Join us as De Schutter shares the personal and historical significance behind Brukel, the challenges and triumphs of its development, and the invaluable contributions of Miami University students. Discover how this game not only serves as an artistic and educational tool but also provides a poignant counter-narrative to traditional war portrayals, emphasizing empathy and the human experience.
