UK Larp Awards Odysseus the International Larp of the Year!

3/3/2020

1 Comment

 
 UK Larp Awards 2020 has awarded Odysseus as the International Larp of the Year. Odysseus, a sci-fi larp discussing the bounds of humanity, was played three times during summer 2019, with one local run and two runs for international larpers. Each run had approximately a hundred players. 

"We are thrilled and grateful by this award. We had a team of over 180 volunteers working to make the game happen, and getting acknowledged for all the effort feels wonderful," comments Producer Laura Kröger. "It is especially important to us, as Finland has not hosted many international games of this scale before. We are happy that we could offer a glimpse of the Finnish larp culture to our wonderful international participants."

Odysseus was created by over 180 volunteers and partners, including professionals with decades of experience on project management, software engineering, technology, marketing, and set design among others. Together, they transformed a school building in which the game was held into a believable, high production value starship. 
​

All the software produced to create the special effects and gadgets abroad the functioning starship have been stored on GitHub for public access to contribute to future games.

I may not know the overall bearing of the award but I am glad to know that International Larp of the Year was give the Odysseus. It has something to do with science, ands that could be the reason why I am not really familiar with this. I had to make more research about it so I could understand it even more. Receiving san award means you have done something extraordinary and the effort must be acknowledge. I am sure that they are just getting what they planted years ago, and there truly deserve it!
