  • Abstract the Goal of This Project Is Primarily to Establish a Collection of Video Games Developed by Companies Based Here In
    Abstract The goal of this project is primarily to establish a collection of video games developed by companies based here in Massachusetts. In preparation for a proposal to the companies, information was collected from each company concerning how, when, where, and why they were founded. A proposal was then written and submitted to each company requesting copies of their games. With this special collection, both students and staff will be able to use them as tools for the IMGD program. 1 Introduction WPI has established relationships with Massachusetts game companies since the Interactive Media and Game Development (IMGD) program’s beginning in 2005. With the growing popularity of game development, and the ever increasing numbers of companies, it is difficult to establish and maintain solid relationships for each and every company. As part of this project, new relationships will be founded with a number of greater-Boston area companies in order to establish a repository of local video games. This project will not only bolster any previous relationships with companies, but establish new ones as well. With these donated materials, a special collection will be established at the WPI Library, and will include a number of retail video games. This collection should inspire more people to be interested in the IMGD program here at WPI. Knowing that there are many opportunities locally for graduates is an important part of deciding one’s major. I knew I wanted to do something with the library for this IQP, but I was not sure exactly what I wanted when I first went to establish a project.

  • Playing with People's Lives 1 Playing with People's Lives How City-Builder Games Portray the Public and Their Role in the D
    Playing With People’s Lives 1 Playing With People’s Lives How city-builder games portray the public and their role in the decision-making process Senior Honors Thesis, City & Regional Planning Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with honors research distinction in City and Regional Planning in the Knowlton School of Architecture at the Ohio State University By William Plumley The Ohio State University May 2018 Faculty Research Mentor: Professor Tijs van Maasakkers, City and Regional Planning Playing With People’s Lives 2 Abstract – City-builder computer games are an integral part of the city planning profession. Educators structure lessons around playtime to introduce planning concepts, professionals use the games as tools of visualization and public outreach, and the software of planners and decision-makers often takes inspiration from the genre. For the public, city-builders are a source of insight into what planners do, and the digital city’s residents show players what role they play in the urban decision-making process. However, criticisms persist through decades of literature from professionals and educators alike but are rarely explored in depth. Published research also ignores the genre’s diverse offerings in favor of focusing on the bestseller of the moment. This project explores how the public is presented in city-builder games, as individuals and as groups, the role the city plays in their lives, and their ability to express their opinions and participate in the process of planning and governance. To more-broadly evaluate the genre as it exists today, two industry-leading titles receiving the greatest attention by planners, SimCity and Cities: Skylines, were matched up with two less-conventional games with their own unique takes on the genre, Tropico 5 and Urban Empire.

  • Ligaya, Bungee Jumping at Victoria Falls! No, Maria Did Not Take the Picture. but I Am Getting Ahead of the Story
    July 2004 Victoria Falls There she goes! Ligaya, bungee jumping at Victoria Falls! No, Maria did not take the picture. But I am getting ahead of the story. Ligaya just finished her first year of teaching in Brooklyn, NY. As a fourth grade Special Education teacher, she experienced everything from the joy in helping a child learn to read to the bitter injustices of an under-resourced school system (she had to apply for a mini-grant in order to supply her kids with PENCILS!). In between lesson-planning, phoning parents, and recuperating from a hyperactive class she is working toward her a Masters degree in Education at St. John’s University. Highlights of the year include: traveling to Toronto to see her old friend Susan get married, moving to Brooklyn, sitting with thousands of new teachers at the New York City Teaching Fellow’s induction ceremony in Madison Square Garden, watching some of her students perform at the world famous Apollo theatre, making model volcanoes, paper airplanes, pop-up books, and balloon- powered cars with the kids, and watching the sunset behind a skyline of skyscrapers. And then summer came and she decided to hang out with Maria who was not in Spokane in July but traveling in Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Zambia, and Malawi doing workshops on eLearning and ICTs for development. Ligaya caught up with Maria at a conference planning session in Pretoria Ligaya and Maria then spent the weekend in Cape Town and did the wine tour with a quick look at the penguins, alas only at the aquarium.

Caesar has called upon you to enter into service to Rome. The Emperor is eager to expand his settlements and is seeking qualified executors who can implement his will. The Roman Empire is so vast and growing so rapidly that even our divine Caesar cannot hope to rule it alone. He needs capable provincial governors, and that is where you come in. Your goal is to build a thriving Roman City—a bastion of culture and commerce that reflects the glory of Rome itself. As you begin your career, the lands you administer will be small, but Caesar rewards success with promotions and more challenging assignments.

  • The Following Pages Contain Historical Information About the Divinities, Cities, and Provinces That Play a Role in Concordia
    The following pages contain historical information about the divinities, cities, and provinces that play a role in Concordia. In addition, a variant is presented. VARIANT FOR CONCORDIA: START WITHOUT GOODS In this variant the players do not own any goods at the start of the game. Their storehouse starts with only 4 colonists. Instead they start with more money: The start player has 25 sestertii, the 2nd player 26 sestertii etc. In their first turn players may buy goods as they like paying the prices as shown on the roof of the storehouses. This variant offers an even more flexible start of the game. Development Notes For Concordia In more than 2 years of development, Concordia had many testers and helpers. Peter Dörsam as publisher and critical tester wholeheartedly supported the project from its very beginning. In private rounds basically Yvonne Lange, Stephan Borowski, and Jens Külpmann endured my manifold proposals and leaded them ad absurdum over and over, so that everytime new changes became inevitable. In addition, Lars Brügging, Claudia Barmbold, Frank Lamprecht, Kai Wilke, Rüdiger Kuntze, Benjamin Schönheiter, Bastian Völkel, Heike López, and Michael López tested the game as busy as a beaver. Gaming groups l i k e the gamers from Rieckhof, Gert Wahlstedt‘s Urania club, the gamers of Wedel, or „Game with Pete“ in Jork also were engaged. For a broader public Concordia was presented in ever changing versions on the event at Burg Stahleck, the Bremer Spieletage, the Hamburger Fest der Spiele, the Hamburger Spieletage, and the Herner Spielewahnsinn. I visited Paulo Soledade in Portugal to present the game at LeiriaCon, and visited Pietro Cremona in Italy to present it at the Play in Modena and at his gaming club in Cesena, where it was played with great enthusiasm.

  • Ancient Greece and Rome in Videogames: Representation, Player Processes, and Transmedial Connections
    Ancient Greece and Rome in Videogames: Representation, Player Processes, and Transmedial Connections Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Ross Clare September 2018 Abstract Videogames are a hugely popular entertainment medium that plays host to hundreds of different ancient world representations. They provide very distinctive versions of recreated historical and mythological spaces, places, and peoples. The processes that go into their development, and the interactive procedures that accompany these games, must therefore be equally unique. This provides an impetus to both study the new ways in which ancient worlds are being reconfigured for gameplayers who actively work upon and alter them, and to revisit our conception of popular antiquity, a continuum within popular culture wherein ancient worlds are repeatedly received and changed in a variety of media contexts. This project begins by locating antiquity within a transmedial framework, permitting us to witness the free movement of representational strategies, themes, subtexts and ideas across media and into ancient world videogames. An original approach to the gameplay process, informed by cognitive and memory theory, characterises interaction with virtual antiquity as a procedure in which the receiver draws on preconceived notions and ideas of the ancient past to facilitate play. This notion of “ancient gameplay” as a reception process fed by general knowledges, previous pop-cultural engagements, and dim resonances of antiquity garnered from broad, informal past encounters allows for a wide, all-encompassing study of “ancient games”, the variety of sources they (and the player) draw upon, and the many experiences these games offer.
