  • Happy Birthday Sierra Chest!
    The Sierra Chest Newsletter: Issue 5, October 2009 Happy birthday Sierra Chest! It’s amazing how fast time flies by. It seems as if the site was created only a few months ago. But no, the site went public on October 11th 2008. On the first anniversary of the Chest, I would like to take the opportunity to explain how things came to be, where they are now and what is to be expected from the Sierra Chest in years to come. Yes, one year passed by, but this is just the beginning and some special additions are planned. Although the forums of the Chest have been as good as non-active lately, the site itself and related sites have been booming. The visitor counter of the Chest is currently well above 33,000, the number of subscribers to the Sierra Chest Youtube Channel has finally hit triple digits and the Sierra Chest Facebook profile has attracted many new people, including more than 50 former Sierra employees. If you haven’t signed up yet, just search “Sierra Chest” on Facebook and add as a friend. To immediately be updated with the new videos, feel free to subscribe to the Sierra Chest Youtube channel. Also a guestbook has been added to the main menu for you to leave your impressions of the site, so you are welcome to sign it ;-).

    Editors of Play The Scripts and Practices of Co-creativity in Minecraft and LittleBigPlanet Pablo Abend & Benjamin Beil Transactions of the Digital Games Research Association 2016, Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 5-30 ISSN 2328-9422 http://todigra.org TEXT: Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY-NC- ND 2.5) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc- nd/2.5/ IMAGES: All images appearing in this work are property of the respective copyright owners, and are not released into the Creative Commons. The respective owners reserve all rights. ABSTRACT Computer games can be described as assemblages which, to use a term borrowed from Science and Technology Studies, provide different scripts, setting the scene for user practices. Scripts include the game world’s possibilities, restrictions, and the degree of freedom provided to the player. Lately, a new genre of games challenges these specifics. So- called editor games, like Minecraft or LittleBigPlanet, which entered the market with sweeping success, are not games in the traditional sense (in which players follow certain rules guided by narrative elements framing the gameplay). Instead, these sandbox games – often labeled as ‘digital LEGO’ or ‘co-creative open worlds’ – afford constructing a game world rather than playing within one. Following a praxeological approach, this essay will try to make co-creative processes in editor games accessible as a research object, by performing a critical evaluation of established 5 6 ToDiGRA methods within Game Studies, complemented by an experimental focus group analysis. Keywords modding, co-creativity, participatory culture, affordances INTRODUCTION Minecraft (Mojang 2011), LittleBigPlanet (Media Molecule 2008), and, most recently, Disney Infinity (Avalanche Software 2013) and Project Spark (Team Dakota/SkyBox Labs 2014) open up action spaces for par- ticipatory practices to a wide circle of users.

As an exemplar of the many thriving amateur development communities, the self-identified "homebrew" Nintendo Game Boy Advance (GBA) development community is analyzed in-depth. This unique community is brought to the attention of scholars as an important intersection of game studies and amateur media studies, challenging the focus of game studies on commercial production.

  • Moving Learning Games Forward
    moving learning games forward Eric Klopfer, Scot Osterweil, and Katie Salen With contributions by Jason Haas, Jennifer Groff and Dan Roy an Education Arcade paper The Education Arcade Massachusetts Institute of Technology Eric Klopfer, Scot Osterweil, and Katie Salen With contributions by Jason Haas, Jennifer Groff and Dan Roy Made possible by a generous contribution from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. © copyright 2009 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ The notion of using video games for learning causes some to cringe, others to leap for joy, and many to ask questions about this learning medium. These questions often come from people and organizations that are considering delving into the world of learning games but don’t know if this is advisable or don’t know where to start. The goal of this paper is to answer those questions about learning games and to help plot a path for people and organizations interested in developing or fostering the development of video games for learning. The paper starts by making a case for learning games grounded in principles of good fun and good learning. From there the paper explores the commercial games market, gleaning lessons from this rapidly growing and diversifying place. In order to address the concerns of those who see “edutainment” as a dead market, the pa- per analyzes the downfall of edutainment in the 1990s and establishes how the current movement differs. As there are many applications of games related (more or less) to learning games, the paper lays out the ecology of games with a purpose beyond play.
