Background:
Traditional Chinese Puppet have been performed to entertain gods and people, and to thank to the gods for renewing the life forces of the community.
Problems:
Could not attract mass attention
Being forgotten by mass
High budget
Objectives:
To make people recognize, understand and even
more familiar with the Chinese Puppets.
To alert people not to forget the culture.
To associate new media with old story and improve
the interaction between people and culture
Idealization & Concept:
Create a Flash based application to let user
explore more about the Chinese Puppets including
flash game.
Target Audience: Youths
Motivation:
I have my topic is because the puppet is adorable
from it’s costumes, expression and so on. In this
century, people especially youths only pay little
attention to this piece of cultural inheritance and
development. Chinese Puppets are going to
eliminated by communities and replacing by
popular culture.
Why Chinese puppet is no longer popular in our community?
There is a lot of reasons for the current trend that the community has not chosen Chinese puppet as part of their source of entertainment as the olden days in the Chinese community. There has been a lot entertainment that has been offered from the internet and also console games that has been introduced to our community in the years and this has becoming some of the trends that our community keen to forget the older entertainment that have been offered to them .

Since people like to playing game. So my
installation is content + game based to attract their
attention. At least while they playing the game
and they also gain the knowledge.
I inspired by the tales of “Journey to The West” and the motivation of the journey to the West group. “Journey to The
West” is one of the most popular Chinese Puppeteering and I
going to create a flash based application which is consist of
information and game. They are learning while they are
playing or exploring.
To make my installation more interesting, I decided
to add in game to arouse user’s interest rather than
read a ton of text. Nowadays, games playing a
important role in a human life. I renovated the
journey into a mission which is related to Chinese
Puppets, user must have the certain knowledge to
survive in this game.
Few of the mini games concept inspired me to
insert into my application.
To make the game more challenges, user have to
complete the mission by the time given. If failed to
do so, user have to replay again, by this time, the
mission will getting harder to achieve. So, user
better read the information before they start the
game.
Cultural context
Every races having their own cultural, and a culture build up a community.
Historical context
To let user know the history behind of the traditions.
Keep the traditions to next generations.
Social context
Let user to join the game and explore the content from the application.
