The Hero's Journey of Luke Skywalker, Altered
A downloadable Worlding-Building Luke for Windows and macOS
This is an experimental decision game that seeks to examine the effects of character narrative on world-building, through Luke Skywalker's journey of becoming one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known - a classic example of Joseph Campbell's narrative template "The Hero's Journey". Players walks through all 18 stages of Luke's journey as a hero and makes alternative decisions than that of the original Star Wars movies, and observe how/what changes were made to the Star Wars world at the end of the game.
This game empowers the creative community to think about world-building practices beyond the overwhelmingly rigorous frameworks employed by big media conglomerates - world-building has never been about the framework but the world itself. Understanding the core of its spirit is more important than designing 5 different variants of the same character because "we need to see to understand".
