On December 11 2019, Lorenzo Redaelli discussed his strategy for turning concepts into playable prototypes for the students of the Master of Arts in Game Design at IULM University. The event took place at Cascina Moncucco during GAME CONTEXTS, one of the Program’s core courses.
How can you design a successful video game without prior game design experience? Lorenzo Radaelli, an alumnus of the M.A. in Game Design at IULM, discusses his design philosophy through a detailed postmortem of Milky Way Prince: The Vampire Star, a first-person interactive visual novel about an abusive relationship between two individuals, one of whom suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. A love/erotic story between a guy and a “shooting star” that follows players’ decisions, Milky Way Prince suggests that falling in love with somebody who suffers from BPD is like falling in love with a star. What did Lorenzo learn from this process? And what are the take away ideas for aspiring game designers? The journey from zero to game is full of challenges, failures, and surprises.
Lorenzo Redaelli received his M.A. in Game Design in October 2019 from IULM University. He also received a B.A. in Communication, Media, and Advertising in 2017 with a Thesis titled “Gojira vs. Godzilla; How Hollywood reinvented Japanese Kaiju movies" from the same school. Among his passions are Japanese culture, art, and interactive storytelling. He directed several animated shorts, shot an independent film, and produced two albums. In 2019, his final project, Milky Way Prince: The Vampire Star, was accepted at several international festivals, including Game On: El arte en juego (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and Game Happens (Genoa, Italy). Lorenzo lives and works in Milan.

In an effort to align with the USAID Digital Strategy and recognize USAID Missions, Bureaus and partners that are empowering countries in a digital age, USAID launched the 2022 Digital Development Awards (the Digis), the fourth round of these awards. The Digis recognize and celebrate USAID-funded projects and activities that use digital technology to sustain open, secure, and inclusive digital ecosystems in order to improve measurable development and humanitarian-assistance outcomes. After receiving nearly 200 applications from USAID Missions around the world, five winners were selected for the 2022 Digital Development Awards, including the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) VectorLink, funded by USAID/Zambia and implemented by Abt Associates.
Certain malaria control interventions are proven to reduce transmission, particularly the distribution of insecticide treated bed nets (ITN) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), where insecticide that is safe for humans is sprayed on the walls and ceilings of homes to kill malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Successful planning of these interventions is tied closely to accurately estimating the population and number of homes in a particular area, which preferably are then used to create a map that helps inform resource allocation and monitor the intervention’s coverage post-intervention.
The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) VectorLink Project supports national governments in 25 countries to plan and implement proven, life-saving vector control programs with the overall goal of reducing malaria burden. In 2021-2022, PMI VectorLink Zambia worked with subcontractor Akros and the Georeferenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) project to first update maps used by local government officials and then plan IRS and ITN campaigns to the most granular level yet: the health facility catchment level.
To start, the team engaged health facility staff across all 116 districts in Zambia to verify the boundaries of the area they serve. Satellite images of each health facility catchment area (HFCA) were then used to estimate the population. Akros provided both digital and printed maps, and an IRS planning template, to each district and then trained the district teams on how to use them.
Jerry Maambo, a Malaria Elimination Officer, has helped spearhead the Indoor Residual Campaign being enforced by PMI VectorLink Zambia in the Katete District. Using the digitized, detailed maps from Akros, Jerry and his team are better able to plot Malaria outbreaks and plan protective efforts for sprayers to disinfect houses in the district.
Additionally, the sprayers are key partners in responding to community questions and concerns about the spraying campaigns. Jerry shares that, “We engage the local traditional leadership and have community dialogue meetings, and eventually the community was willing to have their houses sprayed.”
The maps updated by VectorLink, coupled with support during the planning processes, strengthened the National Malaria Elimination Program’s (NMEP) capacity to use the latest data to operationalize their strategy and ultimate goal of covering 100 percent of the population with at least one malaria prevention program. The result has led to increased coverage of malaria control campaigns in hard-to-reach areas across Zambia. With the new microplanning maps, the Zambia NMEP now has a deeper level of insight into the geographic distribution of remote communities and better population estimates down to the village level.

🇺🇸 🇷🇴 Suntem împreună în această luptă!
Statele Unite și România au luptat cot la cot în unele dintre cele mai ostile teatre de operațiuni din vremurile noastre, iar acum ne luptăm cu încă un dușman comun – COVID-19.
Azi, @USEUCOM a donat aproape 18.000 de teste rapide Serviciului de Ambulanță București-Ilfov, pentru a-l sprijini să ajute mai departe comunitatea și pe noi toți care numim această zonă „acasă”. Sub auspiciile Programului de asistență umanitară al Biroului pentru cooperare în domeniul apărării, coordonatorul Programului de parteneriat cu statul Alabama și consilierul pe probleme bilaterale, locotenent-colonelul Baltz și partenerii săi români - maistrul militar clasa a III-a Ionescu, caporalul Schuster și doamna Negoiță au livrat testele.
Programul de parteneriat cu statul a ajutat la crearea unei cooperări bilaterale de neclintit în materie de securitate și a nenumărate relații interpersonale care fac posibile toate reușitele diplomatice. Faptul că programul se axează pe asistență umanitară, schimburi regulate, sprijin reciproc și împărtășirea celor mai bune practici a adus beneficii ambelor națiuni și a îmbunătățit foarte mult interoperabilitatea în cei aproape treizeci de ani în care Garda Națională a Statului Alabama și România au fost parteneri sub incidența sa. Lt. Col. Baltz a surprins foarte bine spiritul parteneriatului și al prieteniei, și la momentul livrării testelor, a declarat: „Suntem alături și vom fi în continuare alături de prietenul și aliatul nostru, România”.

🇺🇸 🇷🇴 We are in this struggle together.
The United States and Romania have stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the most hostile theaters of our time, and now we fight another common enemy—COVID 19.
Today, our United States European Command donated nearly 18,000 rapid COVID-19 test kits to the Bucharest/Ilfov Ambulance Services to help them as they help their community, and all of us who call the area home. Under the auspices of the Office of Defense Cooperation’s Humanitarian Assistance Program the Chief of the Alabama State Partnership Program and Bilateral Affairs Officer, Lt Col Baltz, and his partners, Romanian Chief Warrant Officer Ionescu, Corporal Schuster and Ms. Negotia delivered the kits.
The State Partnership Program has helped forge both an unshakeable bilateral security partnership and the countless people-to-people relationships that make all diplomatic successes possible. The program’s focus on humanitarian assistance, regular exchanges, mutual support, and the sharing of best practices, has benefited both our nations and greatly improved our interoperability in the nearly thirty years that the Alabama National Guard and Romania have partnered under it. The spirit of that partnership and friendship was well captured by Lt Col Baltz who stated upon delivery of the kits, “We are, and we continue to be here for our Romanian friend and ally.”
