Preserving Hmong Batik Through Video Games
This paper presents an ongoing research project examining how video games can help safeguard intangible cultural heritage, focusing on Hmong batik, a resist-dyeing craft practiced by the Hmong people of southwestern China.
- The paper argues games can preserve intangible cultural heritage by reaching audiences that traditional documentation may not, using Hmong batik as its case study.
- The central artifact, Batiked, is a Unity-based 2D platformer whose mechanics mirror the batik process of waxing, dyeing, and melting, with level design drawing on Hmong motifs including stone and mythic imagery.
- The work is framed under Research through Design, treating the prototype as an executable argument and game design itself as a research method bridging ethnographic craft study and human-computer interaction.

Folklore-Driven Representations of Femininity in Slavic-Coded Video Games: The Figure of Baba Yaga
This paper examines how Baba Yaga, the ambiguous figure of Slavic folklore, is represented in a selection of Slavic-coded video games published or announced between 2015 and 2025.
- The study analyses eight Slavic-coded games released or announced between 2015 and 2025, including Eventide, Yaga, Black Book, Blacktail, Reka, Scarlett Deer Inn, Night is Coming, and The End of the Sun, some assessed via paratext or demos because they remain in production.
- Across the sample, old age is rarely foregrounded even when Baba Yaga appears as a helper; she is often rendered youthful or simply young.
- Where her aged features do appear, they are treated comically or designed to evoke sympathy through frailty.
