Vlambeer zette de afgelopen jaren wereldwijd de Nederlandse Indie Game-industrie op de kaart. Oprichters Rami Ismail en Jan Willem Nijman besloten in oktober 2020 na tien jaar de deuren te sluiten. ‘We zijn trots het nalatenschap van deze invloedrijke gamestudio in onze collectie te mogen verwelkomen. (Nederlandse) Games vormen een belangrijk onderdeel van het medialandschap, waarbinnen deze games van Vlambeer een unieke aanwinst voor ons instituut zijn,’ aldus Eppo van Nispen tot Sevenaer, directeur Beeld en Geluid. 'Het is een fijn gevoel dat Beeld en Geluid zich inzet voor archivering. Iedereen zegt altijd "wat op het internet staat is voor eeuwig" maar qua games valt dat nog vies tegen. De technologie ontwikkelt zich snel en voor je het weet zijn dingen niet meer speelbaar, al dan niet verloren gegaan. We zijn dankbaar voor deze inzet!' aldus Jan Willem Nijman, oprichter Vlambeer. Onder de twaalf ontvangen games bevinden zich titels als Nuclear Throne, Ridiculous Fishing, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, Super Crate Box en Luftrausers.

Intersomatic Awareness in Game Design
The London School of Economics and Political Science Intersomatic Awareness in Game Design Siobhán Thomas A thesis submitted to the Department of Management of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. London, June 2015 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 66,515 words. 2 Abstract The aim of this qualitative research study was to develop an understanding of the lived experiences of game designers from the particular vantage point of intersomatic awareness. Intersomatic awareness is an interbodily awareness based on the premise that the body of another is always understood through the body of the self. While the term intersomatics is related to intersubjectivity, intercoordination, and intercorporeality it has a specific focus on somatic relationships between lived bodies. This research examined game designers’ body-oriented design practices, finding that within design work the body is a ground of experiential knowledge which is largely untapped. To access this knowledge a hermeneutic methodology was employed. The thesis presents a functional model of intersomatic awareness comprised of four dimensions: sensory ordering, sensory intensification, somatic imprinting, and somatic marking.

Participatory Gaming Culture
Master thesis Participatory gaming culture: Indie game design as dialogue between player & creator Martijn van Best student ID: 3175421 [email protected] New Media Studies Faculty of Humanities UTRECHT UNIVERSITY Course code: 200700088 THE-Scriptie / MA NMDC Supervisor: Erna Kotkamp Second reader: René Glas DATE: March 28th, 2011 1 To Mieke 2 Abstract In this thesis I argue that the current dichotomy between indie game design and mainstream design based on commercial appeal versus creative audacity is non-constructive. Instead, I wish to investigate to what extent indie game designers are able to establish a personal dialogue with their audience through their game. I frame independent game design as a participatory culture in which indies alter and modify existing game design conventions through a practice called abusive game design. This is a concept developed by Douglas Wilson and Miguel Sicart. Players who wish to master (partially) abusive games, need to learn about the designer's intentions rather than the game system. I argue that a designer's visibility in this way allows for a dialogue between creator and player. However, in a case study of indie title Super Crate Box (2010), it appears that in order to maintain a sense of fun, certain conventions of mainstream game design need to be adhered to. Indie designers, who often have the most visible and personal relationship with their audience, need to navigate between their wish for a personal connection with players and user friendly, but 'faceless' design. Scaling the tipping point too much to the abusive side instead of the conventional one, may be counter to designers' wishes to create an enjoyable game.
