	The design and adaptation of iconography of the two headed eagle which looks both East and West, was changed to represent less patriarchal ideal of strength and perseverance into a two headed chicken which could feed a nation.

	~~=What changed compared to the initial project=~~
	Initially, the steps the player took were supposed to lead to a compiled PDF of the archival information they’ve encountered being compiled. The current version of the game doesn’t facilitate that, due to time and knowledge constraints. I hope to continue working on this project to implement that.

	Sound also took on a larger role after the second public moment, as I noticed that some people do not want to play the game, so much as they want to see other play it. To still be able to reach that audience, I thought the sound could be something that reaches them even if they have never touched the keyboard. The role of sound also became more important due to the collaboration with NDNMK Solutions (who created all the soundscapes and sound effects).

	Which is why I also flashed a version of the game on USB drives and created a keychain of the Pioneer of Forgotten Memory to accompany it. With this instance of the game, it could be spread offline, from one hand of a player, to another.

	Preceding this, for the second public moment Thijs and I made use of queueing for our project. In this moment, I also started to ask for identification before people enter to play the game. The queue and implementing some of the hostile policing strategies that the game addresses became performative acts.

	The thesis serves as a backbone and a script of the project. The content it writes about is what the game is based on. It writes about queer histories using Saidiya Hartman’s method of Critical Fabulation, trying to expand the borders of what is seen in the archival document, image or video. (Saidiya Hartman’s method which uses historical information, archival material and fiction to do reparative work in the archives.)		The thesis serves as a backbone and a script of the project.

	I did a performance in drag at Brienenoord Buitenplaats, to test out how portions of the thesis that will be spoken in game sound when spoken out loud. This also brought me to shift more towards the voice.

	The thesis also exists as a printed publication, which mimics the design of a passport. This was not my initial intention, but after seeing the how much traction the thesis got during the public moments and reading portions of it from my own passport, it needed to be fleshed out as a printed publication.
