Threat Simulation in Virtual Limbo Preprint
This is a preprint of the article “Threat simulation in virtual limbo: An evolutionary approach to horror video games” by Jens Kjeldgaard-Christiansen and Mathias Clasen, Aarhus University. The final, published version has been published in the Journal of Gaming and Virtual Worlds and is available at https://doi.org/10.1386/jgvw.11.2.119_1. Page 2 of 33 Threat Simulation in Virtual Limbo: An Evolutionary Approach to Horror Video Games Keywords: horror, Limbo, game studies, evolution, simulation, evolutionary psychology Abstract Why would anyone want to play a game designed to scare them? We argue that an alliance between evolutionary theory and game studies can shed light on the forms and psychological functions of horror video games. Horror games invite players to simulate prototypical fear scenarios of uncertainty and danger. These scenarios challenge players to adaptively assess and negotiate their dangers. While horror games thereby instil negative emotion, they also entice players with stimulating challenges of fearful coping. Players who brave these challenges expand their emotional and behavioural repertoire and experience a sense of mastery, explaining the genre’s paradoxical appeal. We end by illustrating our evolutionary approach through an in-depth analysis of Playdead’s puzzle-horror game Limbo. Page 3 of 33 Introduction Imagine this: You are a little boy, lost somewhere deep in the woods at night. You do not know how you got there or how to get out. All you know is that your sister is out there, somewhere, possibly in great danger. You have to find her. The ambiance is alive with animal calls, the flutter of branches and bushes and a welter of noises that you cannot quite make out. -

Itsenäinen Pelikehitys
Itsenäinen pelikehitys Virtanen, Harri 2011 Leppävaara Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu Leppävaara Itsenäinen pelikehitys Harri Virtanen Tietojenkäsittelyn koulutusohjelma Opinnäytetyö Helmikuu, 2012 Laurea-ammattikorkeakoulu Tiivistelmä Leppävaara Tietojenkäsittelyn koulutusohjelma Harri Virtanen Itsenäinen pelikehitys Vuosi 2011 Sivumäärä 56 Tässä opinnäytetyössä analysoidaan itsenäistä pelikehitystä sekä käsitellään pelikehityksen eri vaiheita. Tavoitteena oli tutkia, mitä itsenäinen pelikehitys pitää sisällään sekä mitä työkalu- ja ja resursseja kehitykseen vaaditaan. Itsenäinen pelikehitys on yleistynyt nykyaikana jatkuvasti kasvavalla nopeudella. Pelaajille tämä merkitsee tarjonnassa kasvua, kun kehittäjälle se taas merkitsee kilpailussa kasvua. Di- gitaalinen aikakausi mahdollistaa oman tuotoksen jakelun internetissä erittäin vähäisillä kus- tannuksilla verrattuna perinteiseen jakeluun. Tietoa ja kokemusta voi harjoittaa itsenäisesti. Resursseja, kuten musiikkia tai tekstuureita, on laillisesti saatavilla jopa kaupalliseen käyt- töön ilmaiseksi. Kuvailtu tilanne on itsenäiselle kehittäjälle ihanteellinen. Pelikehitys on monimutkainen pro- sessi, joka vaatii paljon sillä kaikki on tuotettava itse, vaikka tietyt resurssit olisivatkin hel- posti saatavilla. Itsenäinen pelikehitys sallii kehittäjälle vapauden tuotokseensa, mutta myös vastuu on kehittäjällä itsellään. Työssä vertaillaan eri ohjelmointikieliä ja kehitysprosesseja. Tutkimus käy läpi kehityksen eri vaiheita, prosessien suunnittelua ja ottaa kantaa kehityksen aikana ilmeneviin -
