(2/2)
If any one would be willing to write a letter of support explaining the value of these educational tools - I would very much appreciate it and would add it to my tenure packet. Reach out to me in a message if you are able to help with this!

A journalist from the Economist did a short article on the game three years ago: www.economist.com/culture/2022...

Another screenshot from Seyahat - based on the language your character chooses at the start of the game as their 2nd language (Arabic, Persian, Greek, Ladino) it unlocks special interactions - here in Sarajevo you can run into this Persian musician who gives you a mission to go to Sofia

Another screenshot from Seyahat - this is from the Sarajevo scene and your character has the choice to talk to the people in both of the windows there and help either one of them in a dispute over the inheritance of a house - story based an Ottoman court case

It could be more inspired from a book-the demo will have an example of a story taken from Bandits and Bureaucrats by Barkey/Or it could be something inspired from court records - a dispute your character is tasked to solve through multiple dialogues(a # of these are in the demo)

4)Event Story Arc - this is more of an actual quest or event - 2 to 3 dialogue scripts - in the demo one of these is the mission to escort the Ottoman salary payments to a garrison and protect it from bandits which it taken from Osman Agha's Prisoner of the Infidels...

This is a way to highlight any intellectual history or important works you would like to present to a student. This event would be two different dialogue scripts and likely within 1 scene or split between two scenes (say, Sarajevo given book, and in Yeni Pazar the bookseller)

3)Manuscript mission - player is given a famous early modern Ottoman manuscript to deliver to a bookseller - is given a summary of what it is about and then once they reach the bookseller later in the game they are asked a series of questions to summarize the book...

2)Court Record or Mühimme or Fetva entry retold as a problem to the player with some terms defined and the player is to offer a suggestion for a solution and gets rewarded in the game if they suggest what the original document suggested.
-This would also be a standalone dialogue script

Some examples of types of contributions one could make:
1) Evliya Çelebi story or Shahname story retold in a coffeehouse by a storyteller and the player has to remember key details to get a reward
-This is just a standalone dialogue script

[2/2]The Seyahat project is unfunded, but I can provide contribution credit with the game. This would be similar to how academic blogs or podcasts provide some CV credits to contributors. I want to use this to open the opportunity to collaborate with any other Ottomanist who is interested. #Ottoman
