The game engine, its website, and each game's content are all kept under version control using various Git repositories. Martin—erm, Prof. Dusinberre—will introduce the *Lives in Transit* project, as well as *Plantation Lives*, a game built using the system, in which the player takes on the identity of a graduate history student, who is attempting to write a dissertation on Colonial Hawaiian history while navigating the perils of academic life. + +## Links + +* [Backend](https://github.com/uzh/marugoto) (Java) +* [Frontend](https://github.com/uzh/marugoto-frontend) (vue.js) +* [Content](https://github.com/uzh/lit-content) +* [*Plantation Lives](https://gitlab.uzh.ch/lit/lit-plantation-lives) -- GitLab
