Pipeline Plumbers win Values in Play hackathon with The Midnight Chronicle
The KreativEU team at BUas organised Values in Play, a three-day international hackathon on the intersection of cultural heritage, AI and sustainability through games. The event took place at the BUas campus from 21 till 23 October.
Over three days, 24 participants worked in six international teams. Supported by mentors, they developed ideas on how AI can help analyse, design and reimagine video games as carriers of European values and cultural heritage.
The Midnight Chronicle takes first place
The winning team, Pipeline Plumbers, consists of Ana Farazica, André Costa, Federico Ruffini and Vladimir Khvostuntsev. Their project, The Midnight Chronicle, is a journalism game about truth, speed and people.
Players take on the role of a reporter at a small village news site. The stories keep coming, and every headline they publish reaches real readers. The game shows the responsibility that comes with reporting and what it takes to make the right call in a fast-paced media environment.
