(2/2) If any one would be willing to write a letter of support explaining the value of these educational tools - I would very much appreciate it and would add it to my tenure packet. Reach out to me in a message if you are able to help with this!
(1/2) Hi folks, haven't posted in a bit as things have been a bit fast paced this term. However, I have a favor to ask - I am going up for Tenure at CCSU this year and I know over the years that many people have used The Hajj Trail (or even the Seyahat Demo) in their courses...
@4JCV Exactly, looks cool - definitely some mechanics there that I tried to put into the Hajj Trail sequel I am putting together

This rare 19thC Ihram belt from our Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage collection, crafted from leather, silk, and linen with metal fittings, once accompanied a pilgrim on the sacred journey of Hajj. Worn over the lower ihram garment (izar), the belt held practical value—safely securing personal belongings as the pilgrim moved through the demanding rites.

This is cool, I assume this is because they had a journalist to a short piece on the Hajj Trail three years ago - you can find that here https://t.co/hxIeBEpiWt
My article "A Digital Ottoman Road to Mecca: Time, Distance, and Game Design" - on game design and my two projects - the hajj trail and Seyahat - is now out in the special issue of the International Journal of Islamic Architecture! https://t.co/pTHxKnOaDJ
Working on my book draft this month - but plan to see after that some updates this summer on Seyahat! If you have not tried the game yet (free on Steam) you can check it out in the link below. I also hope to add a website by the end of the summer with example lesson plans. #Ottoman #gamedev
