Ludic Restoration

Описание: Welcome to Ludic Restoration. This video presents a comprehensive architectural blueprint for a hybrid narrative therapy gaming system. We explore how to move beyond standard Western gamification models, which rely on conquest and extrinsic rewards, to embrace a model of restorative play. This system leverages the functional DNA of global indigenous and non-Western traditions to create mechanics that enact rituals of repair, endurance, and cosmological alignment.

In this overview, we analyze the integration of analog components and digital systems to translate abstract therapeutic goals into concrete gameplay. We examine the Somatic Endurance of Inuit games, where physical exertion and community witnessing replace competition, adapted into digital biofeedback controls. We look at the rhythmic focus of Japanese Taiko drumming to create synchronization bonuses that reward listening over solo performance.

We discuss the Narrative Architecture of the Tree of Life from Southern Africa, where avatars are grown from roots and skills rather than aesthetic selection. We explore the geometric order of Islamic patterns to induce flow and the conflict resolution strategies of Maori Mu Torere and Tagish Tlingit Peacemaking Circles, which require engaging with the opposition to reach the centre.

Furthermore, we detail how the Japanese art of Kintsugi reframes damage as gold-filled scars, and how Vedic Ashramas structure progression through renunciation rather than accumulation. Finally, we look at the principle of Digital Sovereignty through Anishinaabe restorative mechanics that prioritize the health of the land for future generations. This is a guide to designing games where the win state is balance, and the primary mechanic is healing.
