    Mehrauli

    Mehrauli

    A surrealist narrative-driven walking simulator

    Mehrauli is a surrealist narrative-driven walking simulator set on a deserted, fictitious island of the same name. The player has stumbled upon the island. On the way, the player finds a trail of cassette tapes lying around that tell the story of a previous inhabitant on the island. He was a man who spent his childhood in the Mehrauli neighbourhood of South West Delhi. The man had stolen some of the neglected monuments from Mehrauli and brought them to the island, with the intention to turn the island into a theme park of some sort. However, as time went by, the man slowly lost interest in his work and left the place. What happened to the man remains shrouded in mystery, as the player reaches the end. This is the source file for all the assets of the game. Anyone is free to use the assets to modify to adjust the game, but not for any commercial purpose.

    Deed Map

    Deed Map

    Deed and people mapping for genealogists and local historians

    The aim of Deed Mapper is to provide a relationship map between the parties of legal documents, the properties they relate to and the families that owned them over time. Deeds are often an overlooked resource by family historians. Written in what might seem impenetrable legal language to the researcher and using terms that are unfamiliar in modern usage. This is a mistake as they often provide the framework for putting together family, social and business relationships. They link property to people through business transactions. This “Deed Map” application is built using an Open Source tool TiddlyWiki and a key component TiddlyMap which provides a graphical representation of the relationships.
