This is the first adventure game lucasarts use 3D computer graphics overlaid on a pre-rendered static background. As with other LucasArts adventure games, the player must converse with characters and explore, collect and use objects to solve puzzles. Grim Fandango takes place in the land of the dead, through which recently deceased souls, represented as calaca-like characters, travel before they reach their final destination. The story follows travel agent Manuel Manny Calavera as she tries to save newcomer Mercedes Meche Colomar, a virtuous soul, on her journey. The play combines elements of the Aztec faith of the afterlife with a cinematic noir style, with influences including the Maltese falcon, on the waterfront and Casablanca. Grim Fandango won praise for its artistic design and direction. It has been selected for several awards and is often listed as one of the greatest video games of all time. However, it was a commercial failure and contributed to LucasArts' decision to end the development of adventure games and the decline of the adventure game genre. In 2014, with the help of Sony, Schafer's studio Double Fine Productions acquired the Grim Fandango license after the acquisition and closure of Disney as a video game developer the previous year. In January 2015, Double Fine released a remastered version of the game that includes enhanced character graphics, controls (including points and clicks), orchestrated scores and commentary by directors. It was originally released for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, OS X and Linux. Mobile versions for Android and iOS devices were released in May 2015. The Port Nintendo Switch remastered version was also released in November 2018. The Xbox One version was also released in October 2020. Gameplay Grim Fandango is an adventure game in which the player controls Manuel Manny Calavera (calavera is Spanish for 'skull'), as follows Mercedes Meche Colomar in the underworld. The game uses the Grime engine, pre-twisting static backgrounds from 3D models, while the main objects and characters are animated in 3D.[1] In addition, movies scenes in the game were also pre-rendered in 3D. Teh controls Manny's movements and actions using a keyboard, joystick, or gamepad. The remastered edition also allows you to control it with your mouse. Manny must collect items that can be used either with other collectibles, parts of the scenery, or with other people in the land of the dead in order to solve puzzles and progress in the game. The game lacks any type of HUD. Unlike previous 2D LucasArts games, the player is informed about objects or people of interest not by text floating on the screen when the player passes the cursor over them, but rather by the fact that Manny turns his head to the flow or person as he passes. [2] The player checks the list of items Manny has collected by watching him pull each item in and out of his jacket. [3] Manny can engage in dialogue with other characters through conversational trees to get hints of what needs to be done to solve puzzles or advance the plot. [4] As in most LucasArts adventure games, a player can never die or otherwise find himself in a situation that does not play (which prevents the game from being completed). [5] The synopsis Setting Grim Fandango takes place in the land of the dead (the eighth underworld), where recently deceased souls aim to make their way to the land of eternal rest (ninth underworld) for four years the journey of the soul. The good deeds of life are rewarded with access to better travel packages to help you travel (such as sports cars and luxury ocean cruises), the best of which is number nine, an express train that takes four minutes to reach the gate to the ninth underworld. [6] However, souls who have not led a kind life are left on the path of the lands of the dead on foot, which would take about four years. Such souls often lose faith in the existence of the Ninth Underworld and instead find work in the land of the dead. The travel agencies of the Ministry of Death act as the Reaek to escort souls from the land of the living to the land of the dead and then determine what kind of transport the soul deserves. Every year on the day of the dead, these souls can visit their families in the land of the living. [4] [7] Souls in the land of the dead seem like skeletal calaca figures. [7] Next to them are demons who have been called to help with the more mund mund mund mund ized tasks of everyday life, such as vehicle maintenance and even beverage service. Souls themselves can suffer death-in-death by being sprouted, as a result of being shot by sproutella-filled arrows that cause flowers to grow through bones. [8] Many characters are Mexican and sometimes Spanish words are intersented into English dialogue, leading to Spanglish. [2] Many characters smoke, following the film's noir tradition; [4] The manual asks players to consider that every smoker in the game is dead. [4] Plot characters in Grim are based on Mexican calaca characters used to celebrate the Day of the Dead. The game is divided into four acts, each of which takes place on November 2 in four consecutive years. [9] Manuel Manny Calavera is a travel agent at the Ministry of Death in El Marrow, forced to work from debt to authority to be. [10] Manny is frustrated that he is assigned to clients who have to travel for four years and threatens to be fired by his boss Don Copal if he doesn't come up with better clients. Manny steals a client, Mercedes Meche Colomar, from his associate Domino Hurley. The computer department assigned Meche on a four-year journey, although Manny believes she should have a guaranteed place on the Number Nine luxury express train because of her purity of heart in her life. [11] After setting Meche up on her way, Manny investigates further and discovers that Domino and Don have been rigging the system to deny many Double N clients tickets, hoarding them for the head of the criminal underworld, Hector LeMans. LeMans then sells tickets at an exorbitant price to those who can afford it. Manny realizes that he can't stop Hector at the moment, and instead, with the help of his driver and speed demon Glottis, tries to find Meche on her way in the nearby Meche Forest. During the trip, Manny met Salvador Sal Limones, leader of the small underground organization Lost Souls Alliance (LSA), who is aware of Hector's plans and recruits Manny to help. Manny arrives in the small port city of Rubacava and discovers that he has beaten Meche there, waiting for him to arrive. The cast of Grim Fandango. In front-center are Domino, Meche, Manny, and Sal. Glottis is in the upper left, and Hector is on the far right. The playmaker, Tim Schafer, is in the bottom left corner. A year passes and the city of Rubacava has grown. Manny now runs his own nightclub from a converted vending machine near the edge of the forest. Manny learns from Olivia Ofrend, owner of Beatnik Blue Casket nightclub, that Don has been sprouted for letting the scandal be known and that Meche was recently seen leaving Domino's Harbour. Manny chases him and follows them to a coral mining plant on the edge of the world a year later. Domino's was holding Meche there like a trap to lure Manny. [13] All Domino's clients whose tickets have been stolen are also held there and used as slaves, both for profit from coral mining and as a way to keep Hector's scandal quiet. Domino's is trying to convince Manny to take over his position at the factory because he has no choice but to spend the rest of eternity with Moss, but he refuses. After rescuing Meche, Manny defeats Domino by falling him into a rock shred. Manny, along with Meche, Glottis and all souls held in the race then escape from the edge Three travel another year until they reach the final station for train number nine before the Ninth Underworld. Unfortunately, Gate Keeper into the ninth underworld will not let souls progress without their tickets, mistakenly believing that sold, and it is further shown that an evil soul who either failed to pay off his debt or tried to cheat gate keeper with a fake or real Double N Ticket to gain entry to the ninth underworld will cause the express train to transform into hell train (which sends all souls on board to hell). Meanwhile, Glottis fell terminally ill. Manny learns from the demons at the end that the only way to revive Glottis is to travel at high speed to restore Glottis' purpose to be called upon. Manny and the others invent a makeshift fuel source to create a rocket train carriage, quickly take Manny and Mech back to Rubacava and save Glottis' life.

  • You've Seen the Movie, Now Play The
    “YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE, NOW PLAY THE VIDEO GAME”: RECODING THE CINEMATIC IN DIGITAL MEDIA AND VIRTUAL CULTURE Stefan Hall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Ronald Shields, Advisor Margaret M. Yacobucci Graduate Faculty Representative Donald Callen Lisa Alexander © 2011 Stefan Hall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ronald Shields, Advisor Although seen as an emergent area of study, the history of video games shows that the medium has had a longevity that speaks to its status as a major cultural force, not only within American society but also globally. Much of video game production has been influenced by cinema, and perhaps nowhere is this seen more directly than in the topic of games based on movies. Functioning as franchise expansion, spaces for play, and story development, film-to-game translations have been a significant component of video game titles since the early days of the medium. As the technological possibilities of hardware development continued in both the film and video game industries, issues of media convergence and divergence between film and video games have grown in importance. This dissertation looks at the ways that this connection was established and has changed by looking at the relationship between film and video games in terms of economics, aesthetics, and narrative. Beginning in the 1970s, or roughly at the time of the second generation of home gaming consoles, and continuing to the release of the most recent consoles in 2005, it traces major areas of intersection between films and video games by identifying key titles and companies to consider both how and why the prevalence of video games has happened and continues to grow in power.

  • The Casual Revolution Of... 1987 Making Adventure Games Accessible to the Masses
    The Casual Revolution of... 1987 Making Adventure Games Accessible to the Masses Jonathan Lessard Concordia University, Montréal 1. Talkin’ about a revolution At the turn of the 21st century, the video game industry became increasingly interested in catering to so-called "casual gamers”—that is players interested in easily accessible games requiring limited time, effort and expertise. In his book on the phenomenon, Jesper Juul (2010) has termed “Casual Revolution” the process that became particularly observable with the success of the broadly-reaching yet technically underwhelming Nintendo Wii console. If a revolution is the sudden disruption of an established state of affairs, this casual revolution should presuppose the existence of something like a “hardcore regime”. The book’s focus being on the revolution itself as well as casual game design, very little information is given on the status quo ante; only a general perception that video games used to be mostly designed for (and played by) dedicated young male fans. Juul argues that the casual revolution is in fact a return to video gaming’s arcade roots: “the moment in which the simplicity of early video games is being rediscovered” (2). His reading of the history of video games through the lens of “casualness” suggests an arc that could be schematized this way: _____________________________________________________________ Kinephanos, ISSN 1916-985X History of Games International Conference Proceedings, January 2014, www.kinephanos.ca The Casual Revolution of… 1987 Figure 1: Schematic representation of the "Casual Revolution" This appealing perspective might effectively reflect reality—or not. In order to judge, one would need to compile data concerning the global “casualness” of the video game offered at different points in time, their targeted demographics, and effective players.

  • STAR WARS and the History of Transmedia Storytelling
    3 TRANSMEDIA Guynes and Hassler-Forest (eds) of Transmedia Storytellingof Transmedia History the and Wars Star Edited by Sean Guynes and Dan Hassler-Forest STAR WARS and the History of Transmedia Storytelling Star Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling Transmedia: Participatory Culture and Media Convergence The book series Transmedia: Participatory Culture and Media Convergence provides a platform for cutting-edge research in the field of media studies, with a strong focus on the impact of digitization, globalization, and fan culture. The series is dedicated to publishing the highest-quality monographs (and exceptional edited collections) on the developing social, cultural, and economic practices surrounding media convergence and audience participation. The term ‘media convergence’ relates to the complex ways in which the production, distribution, and consumption of contemporary media are affected by digitization, while ‘participatory culture’ refers to the changing relationship between media producers and their audiences. Interdisciplinary by its very definition, the series will provide a publishing platform for international scholars doing new and critical research in relevant fields. While the main focus will be on contemporary media culture, the series is also open to research that focuses on the historical forebears of digital convergence culture, including histories of fandom, cross- and transmedia franchises, reception studies and audience ethnographies, and critical approaches to the culture industry and commodity culture.

  • Adventure En 1977
    Université de Montréal HISTOIRE FORMELLE DU JEU D’AVENTURE SUR ORDINATEUR (LE CAS DE L’AMÉRIQUE DU NORD DE 1976-1999) par Jonathan Lessard Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques Faculté des arts et des sciences Thèse présentée à la Faculté des arts et des sciences en vue de l’obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (Ph. D.) en études cinématographiques Juin 2013 © Jonathan Lessard, 2013 Université de Montréal Faculté des études doctorales et postdoctorales Cette thèse intitulée : HISTOIRE FORMELLE DU JEU D’AVENTURE SUR ORDINATEUR (LE CAS DE L’AMÉRIQUE DU NORD DE 1976-1999) présentée par : Jonathan Lessard a été évaluée par un jury composé des personnes suivantes : Carl Therrien président-rapporteur Bernard Perron directeur de recherche Sébastien Roy membre du jury Sébastien Genvo examinateur externe Jean-Claude Guédon représentant du doyen i RÉSUMÉ Cette étude s’intéresse à l’évolution formelle du jeu d’aventure de 1976 à 1999. Elle se propose de mieux comprendre les facteurs historiques contribuant à l’apparition du genre, son institution et ses transformations. La recherche est fondée sur l’analyse du discours de la presse spécialisée en jeux d’ordinateur et d’un corpus étendu d’œuvres. L’une des thèses proposées est que l’identité générique du jeu d’aventure est fondée sur une expérience vidéoludique demeurant relativement constante malgré des variations importantes de formes. Cette expérience est assurée par la reproduction des principaux éléments d’une architecture générale de design de jeu inaugurée par Adventure en 1977. Les variations formelles ponctuelles résultent d’une négociation entre la volonté de s’adapter aux changements de contexte de l’écologie du jeu d’ordinateur et la résistance d’une architecture ludique établie.
