Academy of Music in Łódź, Charles Poznański Palace – 3D computer game
2017. January 16.
We are proud to inform you that our company has completed a relevant project for the Academy of Music in Łódź in the framework of the “Maintenance and Revitalization of Cultural Heritage” program.
The primary goal of creating the game is to present the renovated and restored interiors of Charles Poznański Palace, which is owned by the Academy of Music in Łódź. The game was funded by EEA and Norway Grants, and was translated into three languages: Polish, English and Norwegian. It is available only for desktop PC-s.
3D model scanning technology has been used in the course of the work. Our company cooperated with a Polish firm, ArchiTube, that was responsible for scanning the building and specific rooms, where the main plot of the game takes place. Source images have been provided in excellent quality in order to guarantee improved user experience.
The main mission of the game is to find Grażyna Bacewicz’s missing sheet music hidden somewhere in the palace. Players have the opportunity to move around the place freely, enjoy and admire the beautiful interior of the palace and its rooms, discover and get to know the history of the place and people. During the journey, you can find some quizes and puzzles awaiting to be solved. In each room, a treble clef is waiting for you with a question. All questions are related to music and history, and not necessarily easy. So be prepared to use your brain! After giving a correct answer, you can discover the place further, and get closer and closer to finding the sheet. The game also offers some adventures for you, too – you can meet a good ghost, who warns you about a bad ghost prowling in the palace, and with whom you have to quiz fight at the end of the game. After giving five correct answers, you get a key, which opens the place with the hidden sheet music.
The project was finished in December 2016, so we hope it will not only be a source of fun, but also some good lesson of history!
