We sit down with Ragnar T�rnquist to discuss his first Anarchy Online-inspired novel. October 16, 2001. Last Friday we ran the prologue and the first chapter of the soon-to-be-released Prophet Without Honor. This first book in the Anarchy Online saga is penned by Ragnar T�rnquist, the man behind the game's story. The idea of a book that complements the experience of a game is intriguing. While Diablo and Warcraft and Alpha Centauri are all getting the novel treatment, the Anarchy Online novels are meant to reveal the already prodigious and comprehensive backstory that went into the game. Since most of the material is hidden from players of the game (or at best, only hinted at), Ragnar thought it would be interesting to reveal the background of the world in book form. We recently spoke with him about his inspirations, his influences and his intentions. IGNPC: What was the initial inspiration for the story? At what point in the development of the game did you decide to write a novel? Ragnar T�rnquist: The inspiration for the novel came through the development of the extensive background story for the Anarchy Online universe. I'd written so much about what had happened in the millennia leading up to the colonisation of Rubi-Ka -- much of it quite peripheral to the in- game story -- that I felt it'd be a waste if we didn't allow the players a glimpse into the past. Of course, when I started writing the novel, it took on a life of its own and instigated a number of fundamental changes in the planned AO storyline. As it stands, the novel is very closely tied in with what happens in the game -- although players don't have to read the novel to find out what's going on, of course. The necessary information will be communicated in the ongoing story. IGNPC: How did you conceive of the science in the book? Do you have a background in science? Did you do any particular research? Ragnar Tornquist. Ragnar Tørnquist (born July 31, 1970 in Oslo , Norway ) is a computer game designer and author who worked for the Norwegian game developer and publisher " Funcom " based in Oslo. In September 2012 he founded his own game development company under the name Red Thread Games . contents. biography. Tørnquist studied art, history and English at the private St. Clare's University in Oxford from 1987 to 1989. From 1989 to 1990 he studied philosophy and English at the University of Oslo . After completing his studies, he attended the "Undergraduate Film and Television Department" of the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University from 1990 to 1993 . After graduating from NYU , he worked for the small game developer Herbipolis for a year as a graphic designer, animator, co-designer and assistant producer. In 1994 he returned to Oslo and joined Funcom as producer, designer, writer and level editor of the video game adaptation of the film Casper . With computer games like Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and the sequel Dreamfall: Chapters , Tørnquist wants to define a new sub-genre of contemporary adventure games, the so-called “modern adventure”. In Tørnquist's opinion, the need for such a term arose from the extinction of the old point-and-click adventure games . Through the use of new technologies and developments, a new generation of the genre should be created and thus fit for the mainstream again: "The classic point-and-click 'graphical adventure' is dead . The point of the 'modern adventure' [. ..] is to bring adventure gaming back into the mainstream, and to use technology and gameplay advances to bring the genre forward into the 'next generation'.

Ritgerðin byggir á tveimur rannsóknaraðferðum, annars vegar innihaldsgreiningu á 28 sögudrifnum einspilunarleikjum (e. single player games) frá árunum 2000-2013 og hins vegar hálfstöðluðum viðtölum við 17 tölvuleikjaspilara. Niðurstöður innihaldsgreiningarinnar staðfesta fyrirliggjandi þekkingu sem leitt hefur í ljós að ímyndasköpun tölvuleikja einkennist af kynjaskekkju þar sem spilanlegar persónur eru að miklum meirihluta karlkyns. Greiningin sýnir fram á endurtekið viðfangsefni tölvuleikja sem á margt sameiginlegt með uppbyggingu goðsagna. Frásögnin fjallar um hetju sem þarf að koma á jafnvægi í samfélagi sínu með því að undirgangast manndómsvígslu. Viðtölin sýndu að viðmælendum þótti mikilvægt að geta samsamað sig tölvuleikjapersónum og þar var kyn ákjósanlegasti grundvöllur samsömunar. Karlar eru almennt líklegri en konur til að flakka milli kynja í vali sínu á tölvuleikjapersónum. Vegna ríkulegs framboðs af karlpersónum í tölvuleikjum er hugsanlegt að karlar leiti að tilbreytingu í kvenpersónum en konur kjósi heldur samsömun við eigið kyn þegar það stendur til boða.

Whereas ‘The Park’ offered an immersive single-player story, ‘Hide and Shriek’ is a competitive multiplayer game where players are the ones scaring each other!

  • Rhetoric of Mass Effect 2 Submitted by Rebekah
    Thesis Hidden Options and Player Pushback: Rhetoric of Mass Effect 2 Submitted by Rebekah Robson-May Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2011 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Sarah Jane Sloane Carrie Lamanna Jennifer Cross Copyright by Rebekah Robson-May, 2011 All Rights Reserved Abstract Hidden Options and Player Pushback: Rhetoric of Mass Effect 2 This thesis is an exploration of gender construction within the digital gaming subculture of the United States in the early 21st century. Using the 2010 game Mass Effect 2 as an organizing theme and central focus, the thesis examines how gender is constructed within this single-player role-playing game; how marketing materials reveal expectations about audience for this game and two other single-player role- playing games released in 2010 (Fable III and Final Fantasy XIII); and how online communities related to games, particularly to Mass Effect 2, both reinforce normative assumptions and attitudes about gender for players of digital games and characters within the games, and how they offer opportunities for the subversion and disruption of these normative models. Theories from Judith Butler and from Candace West and Don Zimmerman provide the primary basis for exploring gender construction. To examine the effects of digital games on literacy and learning, James Paul Gee’s work is used extensively. Additional discussion utilizes online fan and gamer posts. Insights about games, their marketing, and the broader community are drawn from a number of perspectives, in- cluding autoethnography, visual rhetoric, the principles of interpreting visual art, and a study of theatrical costume design.

Combined with the very large number of games being released into the market, this makes for a competitive situation that leads to games requiring more than ever unique competitive advantages, larger budgets or a dose of luck in order to become visible and succeed.
