  • Lollipop Chainsaw Goichiego Sudy I Problem Autorstwa W Medium Gier Wideo
    2015 / Homo Ludens 2(8) Lollipop Chainsaw Goichiego Sudy i problem autorstwa w medium gier wideo DOMINIKA STASZENKO Uniwersytet Łódzki Abstract Goichi Suda's Lollipop Chainsaw and the problem of authorship in video games This paper examines the phenomenon of the game designed by Goichi Suda, also known as Suda 51. It focuses on the analysis of Lollipop Chainsaw, detailing the characteristics of his work, such as a sense of humor, unique aesthetics and controversial solutions. This Japanese designer is sometimes considered as an artist who manifests his original ideas even in high-budget games. This paper also describes the problem of authorship in the video games medium using Suda’s creation as an example. KEYWORDS: Goichi Suda, aesthetics, remediation, authorship 1. Wprowadzenie Kategoria autora w przypadku medium gier wideo nastręcza wiele trud- ności nie tylko w kwestii interpretacji, kim tak właściwie jest autor gry, ale Homo Ludens 2(8) / 2015 © Polskie Towarzystwo Badania Gier 2015 154 Dominika Staszenko także w kontekście pytania, czy w ogóle używanie takiego pojęcia jest zasad- ne w stosunku do interaktywnego dzieła powstałego przy współpracy wielu osób. W teorii filmu przyjmuje się, że reżyser odpowiada zarówno za aspekty techniczne związane z produkcją utworu, jak i estetyczne, co pozwala określić reżysera mianem autora sprawującego pieczę nad wszystkimi etapami powsta- wania dzieła, a także elementami decydującymi o wartości artystycznej obrazu (Carr, 2013, s. 11). Ze względu na fakt, że zarówno filmy, jak i gry powstają dzię- ki zaangażowaniu wieloosobowych zespołów, próba przełożenia takiej defi- nicji autorstwa na grunt badań nad nowym medium wydaje się uzasadniona. Jednakże problemem uniemożliwiającym zastosowanie analogii jest przede wszystkim trudność w rozstrzygnięciu, kto odpowiada za całokształt projektu.

  • 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.

We also thank our editor, Lisa Renaud. About tHE mILKEn InstItutE The Milken Institute is an independent economic think tank whose mission is to improve the lives and economic conditions of diverse populations in the United States and around the world by helping business and public policy leaders identify and implement innovative ideas for creating broad-based prosperity. We put research to work with the goal of revitalizing regions and finding new ways to generate capital for people with original ideas. We focus on: human capital: the talent, knowledge, and experience of people, and their value to organizations, economies, and society; financial capital: innovations that allocate financial resources efficiently, especially to those who ordinarily would not have access to them, but who can best use them to build companies, create jobs, accelerate life-saving medical research, and solve long-standing social and economic problems; and social capital: the bonds of society that underlie economic advancement, including schools, health care, cultural institutions, and government services. By creating ways to spread the benefits of human, financial, and social capital to as many people as possible— by democratizing capital—we hope to contribute to prosperity and freedom in all corners of the globe.
