The Culture Ministry has not banned the developers of "Home Sweet Home" game from using Thai traditional dance, Saroot Tubloy, Yggdrazil Group's chief operating officer and game director, tweeted on Saturday.

 

 

Home Sweet Home is a first-person horror adventure game based on Thai myths and beliefs, which was launched in 2017 followed by the second episode in 2019.

 

Earlier, Puvaphat Chanasakol, an adviser to a subcommittee on e-sports, tweeted on Thursday that he had found out the ministry had banned the game developers from using Thai traditional dance, as it may result in a negative view of this dance. He later said he had misunderstood.

 

Saroot said the ministry had only disapproved their request to use illustrations of instruments and practices related to Thai traditional dance in the game because it could make people scared if associated with an animated Thai ghost dancer that looked very scary.

 

"Therefore, we redesigned the ghost dancer to ensure that people would not be afraid and would instead be impressed with its beauty," he said.

*Sigh* (a vocal expression of utter resignation that this sort of ban even had been contemplated by the Nationalism Culture Ministry in the first place)

I haven't played the sequel yet but the first game was actually pretty good. While horror games and movies doesn't scare me, it's fun scaring my family ????

If only the Thais could see how we take the pi55 out of Morris Dancers in the UK, then perhaps they could put this stupidity about all things Thai being great behind them.

 

I saw this on Channel 3 news on Saturday and couldn't believe it was a real concern, more stupid than stupid.
