From Historical Narratives to Virtual Strategies: The Power of Cultural References and Visual Representation in Digital Game Design
Abstract
This study examines how cultural references are addressed in real-time tactics (RTT) games, focusing on the representation of Japanese culture in Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. It explores how military tactics, social hierarchies, and aesthetic elements from the Edo period are integrated into game mechanics. The study offers a theoretical framework for the integration of cultural values in game design, considering the unique mechanics of the RTT genre. In Shadow Tactics, it discusses how the game's innovative visualization techniques, such as Shadow Mode and isometric perspective, enhance the user experience and cultural representation. Drawing inspiration from Japanese visual culture (calligraphy, architecture, costume design), the study also proposes a methodology for representing Turkish culture in digital games.
