Video games are an essential part of our cultural heritage, yet without proper care, they are at risk of disappearing. Through the Ctrl Save initiative, Sound & Vision equips game creators with the knowledge and insights needed to safeguard their work. Why is it important to store your materials properly? Which files are relevant to keep? And how can you get started today? Through the practical tools and video tips below, you’ll learn more about how to best preserve your work for the future. On the dedicated Ctrl Save page you’ll find some helpful texts and especially some videos with examples and advice for game creators.
The initiative helps strengthen the previously weak ties between game developers and cultural heritage institutions, thereby making an important contribution to ensuring that future game preservation is effective and robust.
