3 Definitions of Gamification and Serious Games D2.3 Best practices in serious games D2.3 Best practices in serious games Smart Toolbox for Engaging Citizens into a People-Centric Observation Web Abstract Whilst citizen participation in environmental policy making is still in its infancy, there are signs of a growing level of interest. The majority of citizens, though, both as individuals and as groups often feel disengaged from influencing environmental policies. They also remain unaware of publicly available information, such as the GEOSS or Copernicus initiatives. The SCENT project will alleviate this barrier. It will enable citizens to become the ‘eyes’ of the policy makers by monitoring land- cover/use changes in their everyday activities. This is done through a constellation of smart collaborative technologies delivered by the SCENT toolbox in TRLs 6-8. In this deliverable, we examine 28 serious games, mostly related to environmental protection and monitoring. By analyzing these games in relation to 4 components (game mechanics, story, aesthetics and technology), we aim at pinpointing best practices in the application of gamification techniques. Key learning points that will inform the work in Scent are also identified. Keywords: gamification, serious games, game mechanics D2.3 Dissemination Level: PU Deliverable Type: R The research leading to these results has received funding from Horizon 2020, the European Page 1 of 94 Union’s Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (H2020/2014-2020 under grant agreement no 688930 D2.3 – Best practices in serious games Authoring and review process information EDITOR DATE Silvia Brandalesi / XTeam 24-03-2017 CONTRIBUTORS DATE Stefano Tamascelli / XTeam 07-03-2017 Riccardo Braga / XTeam 07-03-2017 Luca Simeone / XTeam 07-03-2017 Ugo Ceciliato / XTeam 07-03-2017 Flavia Ferrari / XTeam 15-07-2018 REVIEWED BY DATE Athanasios Chaldeakis / Attica Region 20-09-2018 Florentina Sela / DDNI 20-09-2018 APPROVED BY DATE Tony Hughes / CARR 28-09-2018 Athanasia Tsertou / ICCS 28-09-2018 Luca Simeone / XTeam LEGAL & ETHICAL ISSUES COMMITTEE REVIEW REQUIRED?

  • Catalis Se Annual Report 2017
    CATALIS SE ANNUAL REPORT 2017 CATALIS SE CONTENTS Delivering quality to the global entertainment and media marketplace. Page Board Report 2 Financial Statements 15 Other Information 62 1 CATALIS SE BOARD REPORT The Catalis Group is comprised of Catalis SE (the ‘Company’) as the ultimate parent company of two divisions: Testronic Laboratories (Testing Division) and Curve Digital Entertainment (Publishing Division). The Testing Division provides quality assurance services to the computer games and entertainment markets and operates from offices in the US, UK, and Poland. The Publishing Division is based in the UK and comprises a publisher of independent console and PC games (Curve Digital), a development studio for third party games (Kuju Limited), and a mobile game (Crack Attack). Overview During 2017 the Catalis Group has built upon the strong foundations laid down in the prior year to consolidate our position in the games testing market and delevop our publishing business, although the Film, TV & DVD business continues to face difficult market conditions. The Group has continued to reduce external debt levels and this now provides us with a strong platform for growth. The formation of the Publishing Division in 2016 provided the cornerstone for our objective of creating a major UK video games publisher and this Division has seen significant growth in revenues and profits during 2017. The Board expects this to continue as Curve Digital establishes itself in the marketplace. Within the Testing Division, growth in the Games testing segment was offset by some shrinkage in the Film and TV sector in 2017 due to lower DVD sales in the global market.

Pensar que não sou a mesma menina que entrou na faculdade, receosa, com medo de tudo dar errado, pensando a todo momento em ligar para os pais e pedir para voltar para casa, é no mínimo, intrigante. Enquanto escrevo esta pequena parte desta grande pesquisa, me lembro de, nos primeiros dias de faculdade, ter escrito alguns versos sobre medo e angústias. Neles, a personagem principal havia saído do planeta Terra e viajado através de anos luz, com a nave mãe, até Marte – um lugar estranho povoado por alienígenas verdes, que falavam uma língua diferente.

    Sami Reinilä Audio Signal Processing for a Game Environ- ment Translating Audio Into a Playable Experience Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Master of Engineering Information Technology 11 May 2013 Abstract Author(s) Sami Reinilä Title Audio signal processing for a game environment – translating audio into a playable experience Number of Pages 87 pages + 1 appendices Date 11 May 2013 Degree Master of Engineering Degree Programme Information Technology Specialisation option Media Engineering Instructor(s) Jarkko Vuori, Principal Lecturer The purpose of the thesis was to analyze the digital audio signal, and turn it into a playable experience creating a new way of consuming and enjoying music. The end result was a game using audio signal as its main source of input for generating playable content. In the thesis audio signal analysis methods and signal characteristics were examined: how audio is processed and analyzed. It also examined and compared the possibilities of real- time audio signal processing and pre-calculated audio signal processing. It showed how to generate events from existing audio signals concentrating on audio music track analysis and processing. Several ways of combining and transforming audio signals into events for the game engine were implemented. As a generalization game engines work primarily based on events. Events are generated by the players, and by the game environment with the variables programmed into its state machine. The thesis focused on audio events while briefly exploring other game events. It was shown that by turning audio events into game events it is possible to create several types of actions where audio is used inside the game.
