  • A Framework of Player Objects in Virtual Environments
    A Framework of Player Objects in Virtual Environments Ea Christina Willumsen Department of Information Science and Media Studies University of Bergen Fosswinckels gate 6 5007 Bergen, Norway [email protected] ABSTRACT Based on data gathered from an analysis of 99 digital single-player games, this paper presents a framework named the PO-VE model for analysing player objects in virtual environments. Player objects are understood as objects integrated in the virtual environment which constitute the player’s point of control and thus frame their actions in the game system. A necessary distinction is made between player object and the presentation of characterisation, separating the notion of “character” from player object, which yields certain analytical benefits. The PO-VE model, which consists of 16 different categories and thus provides a high-granularity analysis tool, is presented using two primary examples from the data set – The Witcher III: Wild Hunt and VVVVVV – and discussed in relation to its potential applications, limitations, and contributions to the more theoretical domain of game studies. Keywords Player object, avatar, character, virtual environment, gameworld, object-oriented design, ontology, analysis model INTRODUCTION The very object with which we interact with a digital game has been scrutinised from a variety of perspectives. Using terms ranging from avatar (Linderoth 2005; Bayliss 2007; Klevjer 2007; Vella 2015; Kania 2017; Banks 2018; Willumsen 2018) to player character (Fernández-Vara 2011; Lankoski 2011; Westecott 2009) and game ego (Wilhelmsson 2008), scholars have attempted to understand the ways in which this object establishes a relationship between player and game. What has yet to be uncovered, however, are the details of the ways in which the object is integrated into a virtual environment and in turn how this integration determines its most basic configurations.

  • Amended Final Draft
    Independent or Indie? Creative Autonomy and Cultural Capital in Independent Video Game Production Martin Graham Smith A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Master of Arts (By Research) Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design (MIRIAD) May 2016 ABSTRACT The use of the word ‘indie’ in relation to video games has shifted from referring to games made independently of a large publisher to being a more nebulous term that is harder to define but that is clearly used at times to refer to games other than those made without the financial assistance of publishers. This thesis seeKs to contribute to the ongoing debate in academic writing on video games as to the meaning of the phrase ‘indie games’. The thesis combines textual and institutional analysis to contextualise the modern indie game by investigating the history of independent video game production in the UK and USA from the 1970s to the modern day, with reference to how changes in technology have shaped independent video game production over time. Alternative models of production that existed before the indie games of the mid-2000s onwards are an under researched area, and this thesis argues that a number of independent counter trends to dominant industry practices set precedents for many of the features of later indie games, in terms of content, style, distribution methods, and models of production. The thesis also contains a case study into the publisher-funded indie games of Jenova Chen and Thatgamecompany which investigates the conflicting definitions of indie in academic writing on video games and other forms of media, arguing that as with indie in cinema, indie in games functions as a form of cultural capital for the audience and developers.
