YAMATO HOTEL

MY FINAL PROPOSAL FOR DESIGN RESEARCH 1

1. Title

Yamato Hotel

2. Abstract

Yamato is a historic luxury hotel in Surabaya, Indonesia. Located at Tunjungan street No. 65, the hotel was founded in 1910 as Hotel Oranje by Lucas Martin Sarkies. It was named after the historic kingdom of Majapahit. It was formerly operated by the Mandarin Orient group.

During The Japanese occupation of

Indonesia

the hotel name was changed to Yamato Hotel. The hotel was the site of the famous "Hotel Yamato Incident" in which young

Indonesia

revolutionaries tore the blue part of the Dutch flag flown in the hotel to change it to the Indonesian flag in the lead up to the Battle of Surabaya.

To make the application more interesting, instead just the construction of the building, a background story and task are added to convey the message.

3. Target Audience

The target audience of my game around 17 - 45 years old.

4. Goal

The goal of this game is to tell story of sacrifice Indonesia when they war against with colonialist in Surabaya and to experience the environment of Surabaya (Indonesia) during war world 1 (1945).

The reason I pick this as my main idea is because this story is very famous in Indonesia, especially in Surabaya. The other reason, because Surabaya also became the town of patriot in Indonesia.

Nowadays game are very famous among new generations. There are a lot of games out there. Each nation have their own media to tell their story. So I think this is the best way to tell our story to everyone how hard to fight with colonialist.

By making this legend into game, the user also can be more immerse with the environment and the story in game. This way can be interact with the game.

5. Objectives

To immerse the through realistic environment and audio visual effect.

To tell the story of Surabaya (

Indonesia

) to the user.

To make a user more exited because I have a different type of gun and interactive.

To allow the user to experience the atmosphere in 1945 era.

To encourage user to appreciate the cultural heritage.
