You will play as a knight figure called Kakitny. With the advent of the iconic spiked helmet he wears, you will go on an adventure to kill many enemies in order to free the world from suffering.

  • Art Worlds for Art Games Edited
    Loading… The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association Vol 7(11): 41-60 http://loading.gamestudies.ca An Art World for Artgames Felan Parker York University [email protected] Abstract Drawing together the insights of game studies, aesthetics, and the sociology of art, this article examines the legitimation of ‘artgames’ as a category of indie games with particularly high cultural and artistic status. Passage (PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, 2007) serves as a case study, demonstrating how a diverse range of factors and processes, including a conducive ‘opportunity space’, changes in independent game production, distribution, and reception, and the emergence of a critical discourse, collectively produce an assemblage or ‘art world’ (Baumann, 2007a; 2007b) that constitutes artgames as legitimate art. Author Keywords Artgames; legitimation; art world; indie games; critical discourse; authorship; Passage; Rohrer Introduction The seemingly meteoric rise to widespread recognition of ‘indie’ digital games in recent years is the product of a much longer process made up of many diverse elements. It is generally accepted as a given that indie games now play an important role in the industry and culture of digital games, but just over a decade ago there was no such category in popular discourse – independent game production went by other names (freeware, shareware, amateur, bedroom) and took place in insular, autonomous communities of practice focused on particular game-creation tools or genres, with their own distribution networks, audiences, and systems of evaluation, only occasionally connected with a larger marketplace. Even five years ago, the idea of indie games was still burgeoning and becoming stable, and it is the historical moment around 2007 that I will address in this article.

It is a complex process involving art, music, writing, programming, and caffeine, that should be approached holistically. The entire process can be intimidating to the uninitiated programmer, which is why I've written an all-inclusive guide to game design. With the creation of my own original video game, Super Fish Quest, as a model, I analyze each part of the design process, discuss the technical side of programming, and research how to raise money and publish a game as an independent game developer.

  • The Revolutionary Potential of Independent Video Games
    THE REVOLUTIONARY POTENTIAL OF INDEPENDENT VIDEO GAMES Delaney McCallum Art, Literature, and Contemporary European Thought Professors Isabelle Alfandary, Marc Crépon, and Michael Loriaux 10 December 2019 1 Introduction The definition of ‘video games’ has been hotly debated and contested since their creation - in this way, they are no different from any other human art form. In his book The Art of Video ​ Games, media scholar Grant Tevinor characterizes video games as “interactive fictions.”1 There ​ are two facets of this definition which require specific understanding. First, the word ‘interactive:’ this means that the audience or player of a video game communicates with a fictive scenario, whether it be a narrative or a form of physical simulation. This could take the form of clicking through web pages with a computer mouse. It could also mean performing a series of actions by pressing buttons on a controller in a certain order. In video games, some sort of transaction or communion with the player and the environment of the game takes place. The second crucial point of this definition is the word ‘fictions.’ Although this word is often used interchangeably with the word ‘narrative’ in modern game literature, there is an important distinction between the two that must be clarified. ‘Fictions’ as a category may include narratives, but this includes other constructions, from flight simulators to the landscapes created with virtual reality technology. For the purposes of this paper, I will be utilizing Tevinor’s definition of video games when I refer to specific examples and the medium as a whole. Another crucial contextualization of ensuing analysis is the interpretation of the difference between what is deemed ‘mainstream’ video games and ‘independent’ video games.

  • The Discourse of Digital Dispossession
    Article Games and Culture 2018, Vol. 13(7) 690-707 ª The Author(s) 2018 The Discourse of Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/1555412018756488 Digital Dispossession: journals.sagepub.com/home/gac Paid Modifications and Community Crisis on Steam Daniel James Joseph1 Abstract This article is a chronicle and analysis of a community crisis in digital space that took place on Valve Corporation’s digital distribution platform, Steam. When Valve and Bethesda (publisher and developer of Skyrim) decided to allow mods to be sold by mod makers themselves, there ensued a community revolt against the commodifi- cation of leisure and play. I put this crisis of play and work in dialogue with Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession,” firmly placing it within a longer history of disruptive capital accumulation strategies. I then conduct a discourse analysis of community members on reddit, as they make sense of and come to terms with this process of dispossession. Arising in the discourse was not class consciousness per se, but instead a pervasive feeling of helplessness and frustration as games, play, and leisure began to feel like work. Keywords digitallabor,play,Steam,platformstudies, digital distribution, game studies, discourse analysis 1 University of Toronto, Mississauga, Canada Corresponding Author: Daniel James Joseph, University of Toronto, 3359 Mississauga Rd., Mississauga, Canada L5L 1C6. Email: [email protected] Joseph 691 On April 23, 2015, the digital game developer and production company, Valve Corporation, announced through their digital distribution platform Steam the intro- duction of buying and selling of “mods, maps, and all kinds of items that you’ve created.” They continued, saying that “with a new, streamlined process for listing and selling your creations, the Steam Workshop now supports buying mods directly from the Workshop, to be immediately usable in game” (Valve Corporation, 2015).

  • CHAPTER 2 QUEER INDIE GAME-MAKING: an INTERVIEW with MO COHEN Bonnie Ruberg
    CHAPTER 2 QUEER INDIE GAME-MAKING: AN INTERVIEW WITH MO COHEN Bonnie Ruberg A decade ago, when independent video game development frst gained prominence in the games industry and games culture, the discussions that surrounded indie games ofen focused on a select few “auteurs,” primarily cisgender, heterosexual, white men. However, as game development tools and distribution platforms have shifed, and as the cultural landscape of video games itself has begun to change, indie game-making has become the terrain of many more creative voices. As Anna Anthropy rightly predicted in her 2012 book Rise of the Video Game Zinesters, a new generation of indies is bringing diverse perspectives to the medium of video games by creating games inspired by experiences of identity, marginalization, and diference. At the same time, these “zinesters” are challenging and fundamentally changing how video games are conceptualized, produced, and experienced. Leading this sea change are queer indie game-makers. Starting in roughly 2012, video games have been shifing in part because of the rise of the “queer games avant-garde,” a movement (loosely termed) of independent developers whose games are shaped by queer experiences or who themselves identify as queer—or, most ofen, both (Ruberg, 2019). Some of these indies, such as Anthropy, Mattie Brice, Christine Love, merritt kopas, Porpentine, and Robert Yang, are well known among players interested in “diverse” video games. However, there are dozens of indie game-makers who have contributed to the queer games avant-garde, and new artists are embarking on this work regularly. Te independent game distribution platform itch.io alone lists nearly a thousand games under its LGBT tag.

    Independent Video Games and the Games ‘Indiestry’ Spectrum: Dissecting the Online Discourse of Independent Game Developers in Industry Culture by Robin Lillian Haislett, B.S., M.A. A Dissertation In Media and Communication Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. Robert Moses Peaslee Chair of Committee Dr. Todd Chambers Dr. Megan Condis Dr. Wyatt Philips Mark Sheridan Dean of the Graduate School December, 2019 Copyright 2019, Robin Lillian Haislett Texas Tech University, Robin Lillian Haislett, December 2019 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This is the result of the supremely knowledgeable Dr. Robert Moses Peaslee who took me to Fantastic Fest Arcade in 2012 as part of a fandom and fan production class during my doctoral work. This is where I met many of the independent game designers I’ve come to know and respect while feeling this renewed sense of vigor about my academic studies. I came alive when I discovered this area of study and I still have that spark every time I talk about it to others or read someone else’s inquiry into independent game development. For this, I thank Dr. Peaslee for being the catalyst in finding a home for my passions. More pertinent to the pages that follow, Dr. Peaslee also carefully combed through each malformed draft I sent his way, narrowed my range of topics, encouraged me to keep my sense of progress and challenged me to overcome challenges I had not previously faced. I feel honored to have worked with him on this as well as previous projects.
