Octobre 21st: FRONTIERS in Béthune, France
Frontiers presentation held by Tobias Hammerle and Martina Brandmayr in Béthune, France.
Bethune, Fance: Last preperations...
The event took place within the scopes of a colloquium of the project/organisation 1000 Augen
« Quand le jeu vidéo fait de la politique. Frontiers : bienvenue dans la
forteresse Europe »
Frontiers est un détournement du jeu vidéo de guerre Half Life 2. Le projet met en scène la situation à la frontière entre l’Union européenne et le Maroc, dans les enclaves espagnoles (situées sur le territoire marocain) de Ceuta et Melilla. Ces confettis d’Europe en terre d’Afrique sont ceints de barrières militarisées (barbelés, miradors, ...) destinées
à empêcher les migrants venus de toute l’Afrique de pénétrer en Europe. Régulièrement, des dizaines de migrants tentent de passer et sont violemment repoussés. Le jeu détourné permet de prendre connaissance de cette réalité peu médiatisée en Europe, en jouant soit un migrant essayant de franchir la frontière, soit un militaire essayant de pourchasser les migrants.
Présentation et démonstration du jeu par les créateurs Tobias Hammerle et Martina Brandmayr (Autriche) suivie d’un débat.

In less than 7 days you can download FRONTIERS (for FREE !)
Hey everyone!
After half a year of mapping, remodeling, bug fixing, betatesting, feedback-collecting, adding new maps and researching content, we will finally release FRONTIERS!
The game includes 4+1 Maps that portray one of the typical Routes of an african migrant: Sahara, Ceuta, Spanish Coast, and finally the Container Port of Rotterdam.
For those who already played our beta version, a lot has happened since:
On one side, gameplay and score system have vastly been improved. Countless new models based on the material we collected during our research have been added, documentary interview sounds and videos of refugees we met, and much more.
The other good news is that - thanks to Valve - FRONTIERS can be now downloaded entirely for FREE. All you need now is a Steam account, install Steam and then the Source SDK, and finally install FRONTIERS. (>Detailed Instructions here<) In the next weeks and months, we will regulary meet and play online, so you if you want to be part of that, also join our Frontiers Steam group (after you registered), and you will be notified whenever there is an event. If you want to leave feedback, thats lovely -> do it here.
Thanks to everybody who supported and helped us during this long march!
We will see you at the border.
