  • Add Second Life to Your Training Without Having Users Log Into Second Life
    708 Add Second Life to your Training without Having Users Log into Second Life David Miller, Newmarket International www.eLearningGuild.com DevLearn08 Session 708 Reference This session follows a case study in which a text-based lesson is converted into a more immersive learning experience. Starting with a “text and image” lesson written by a subject matter expert, we will write an easy-to-follow script that will help us create inexpensive video footage using Second Life. This video footage will then be integrated with the lesson to create a richer learning experience. All materials will be available online at http://subquark.com and access to a DevLearn08 dedicated sim will be provided to all attendees. To access that land, join the ELearning Guild in Second Life group “in-world”. Principles and Tools: Two underlying principles guide the approach presented in this session: rapid development and low cost. Filming in Second Life, and within any computer-generated imagery (CGI), is known as machinima. This session introduces several tools specific to filming in Second Life in case you are interested in experimenting with them before attending the session. These tools include Filming Path, Fraps, and Sizer. The Second Life viewer is needed to access the virtual world that we will be using as a film studio for creating footage to incorporate into our eLearning. Filming Path is an “in-world” filming system that helps to create smooth camera pans and camera dolly shots. Fraps is a real-time video-capturing application for Windows. Other Mac-based programs accomplish similar results (see the Fraps section).

  • Nordic Game Is a Great Way to Do This
    2 Igloos inc. / Carcajou Games / Triple Boris 2 Igloos is the result of a joint venture between Carcajou Games and Triple Boris. We decided to use the complementary strengths of both studios to create the best team needed to create this project. Once a Tale reimagines the classic tale Hansel & Gretel, with a twist. As you explore the magical forest you will discover that it is inhabited by many characters from other tales as well. Using real handmade puppets and real miniature terrains which are then 3D scanned to create a palpable, fantastic world, we are making an experience that blurs the line between video game and stop motion animated film. With a great story and stunning visuals, we want to create something truly special. Having just finished our prototype this spring, we have already been finalists for the Ubisoft Indie Serie and the Eidos Innovation Program. We want to validate our concept with the European market and Nordic Game is a great way to do this. We are looking for Publishers that yearn for great stories and games that have a deeper meaning. 2Dogs Games Ltd. Destiny’s Sword is a broad-appeal Living-Narrative Graphic Adventure where every choice matters. Players lead a squad of intergalactic peacekeepers, navigating the fallout of war and life under extreme circumstances, while exploring a breath-taking and immersive world of living, breathing, hand-painted artwork.

  • Exploring Co-Creation Experience and Value in the Video Game Industry: How Gamers Create Value Through a Rule Changing Online Game That Has No Rules
    Exploring co-creation experience and value in the video game industry: how gamers create value through a rule changing online game that has no rules Author: Jamie Lee Jo Grohn University of Twente P.O. Box 217, 7500AE Enschede The Netherlands ABSTRACT Purpose/ Gap – With the shift from goods- to service-dominant logic, it is crucial to effectively enable value co-creation through suitable value propositions. Formulating value propositions includes insights on the customer’s preferences, capabilities, and expectations, which can be obtained through the customer’s co- creation experiences, since they are the foundation of value. However, there is a limited amount of research in this area, especially from the customer’s perspective. In order to close this knowledge gap and successfully facilitate value co-creation, the aim of this study is to explore the nature of value co-creation through the customers’ co-creation experiences and their implied determinants. This is done through a case study on the online video game Minecraft, due to its open innovation-friendly environment, allowing for a wide range of co-creation options. Methodology – Data was obtained through a netnographic approach in community forums and video platform. A total of 84 threads and 169 posts within 6 forums, as well as 23 videos have been selected and analyzed. Findings – Four distinct areas of value co-creation have been identified in the game, which enable personalized experiences and values. The game’s technological and connective environment, the customer’s role readiness, and the nature of interaction shape co-creation experiences. Additionally, evidence indicates that co-created value is not only generated through a developer-to-gamer relationship, but also between gamer- to-gamer relationships with the developer as facilitator.

  • Art Worlds for Art Games Edited
    Loading… The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association Vol 7(11): 41-60 http://loading.gamestudies.ca An Art World for Artgames Felan Parker York University [email protected] Abstract Drawing together the insights of game studies, aesthetics, and the sociology of art, this article examines the legitimation of ‘artgames’ as a category of indie games with particularly high cultural and artistic status. Passage (PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, 2007) serves as a case study, demonstrating how a diverse range of factors and processes, including a conducive ‘opportunity space’, changes in independent game production, distribution, and reception, and the emergence of a critical discourse, collectively produce an assemblage or ‘art world’ (Baumann, 2007a; 2007b) that constitutes artgames as legitimate art. Author Keywords Artgames; legitimation; art world; indie games; critical discourse; authorship; Passage; Rohrer Introduction The seemingly meteoric rise to widespread recognition of ‘indie’ digital games in recent years is the product of a much longer process made up of many diverse elements. It is generally accepted as a given that indie games now play an important role in the industry and culture of digital games, but just over a decade ago there was no such category in popular discourse – independent game production went by other names (freeware, shareware, amateur, bedroom) and took place in insular, autonomous communities of practice focused on particular game-creation tools or genres, with their own distribution networks, audiences, and systems of evaluation, only occasionally connected with a larger marketplace. Even five years ago, the idea of indie games was still burgeoning and becoming stable, and it is the historical moment around 2007 that I will address in this article.

  • Activision Acquires U.K. Game Developer Bizarre Creations
    Activision Acquires U.K. Game Developer Bizarre Creations Activision Enters $1.4 Billion Racing Genre Market, Representing More than 10% of Worldwide Video Game Market SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sep 26, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATVI) today announced that it has acquired U.K.-based video game developer Bizarre Creations, one of the world's premier video game developers and a leader in the racing category, a $1.4 billion market that is the fourth most popular video game genre and represents more than 10% of the total video game market worldwide. This acquisition represents the latest step in Activision's ongoing strategy to enter new genres. Last year, Activision entered the music rhythm genre through its acquisition of RedOctane's Guitar Hero franchise, which is one of the fastest growing franchises in the video game industry. With more than 10 years' experience in the racing genre, Bizarre Creations is the developer of the innovative multi-million unit franchise Project Gotham Racing, a critically-acclaimed series for the Xbox® and Xbox 360®. The Project Gotham Racing franchise, which is owned by Microsoft, currently has an average game rating of 89%, according to GameRankings.com and has sold more than 4.5 million units in North America and Europe, according to The NPD Group, Charttrack and Gfk. Bizarre Creations is currently finishing development on the highly-anticipated third-person action game, The Club, for SEGA, which is due to be released early 2008. They are also the creators of the top-selling arcade game series Geometry Wars on Xbox Live Arcade®.

Upon its launch, Will of the Wisps made waves for frame-rate issues and bugs, but after those were quickly patched, it was easy to fall in love with every aspect of the game. Video game designers need to have analytical knowledge as well as strong creative skills. First, make sure you have a good computer with some processing power and the right software. It takes cues from choose-your-own-adventure novels as well as some of the earliest narrative-driven video games from the '70s and '80s, including the first-known work of interactive fiction, Colossal Cave Adventure. Check out the story of the whirlwind visit and hear about our first peek at the game. From its dances to its massive tournaments, Fortnite has won over gamers around the world. Are there video games designed for moms? This phase can take as many hours as the original creation of the game. In Animal Crossing , you play as a human character who moves to a new town — in the case of New Horizons , your character moves to a deserted island at the invitation of series regular Tom Nook, a raccoon "entrepreneur. One standout aspect of the game was its music. If you've ever gotten immersed in your game character's story and movements, you've probably wondered how these creations can move so fluidly. How MotionScan Technology Works Animation just keeps getting more and more realistic, as emerging technology MotionScan demonstrates quite nicely.

  • The Rhetoric of Persusasive Games
    Anders Sundnes Løvlie The rhetoric of persuasive games Freedom and discipline in America’s Army Master’s thesis in media studies, Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo March 5 th , 2007 Anders Sundnes Løvlie The rhetoric of persuasive games 2/136 Anders Sundnes Løvlie The rhetoric of persuasive games Summary Computer games are one of the most popular entertainment forms of our time. But these games can also be used for overt military propaganda – as in the case of the US Army’s vastly popular recruitment game America’s Army. This thesis uses computer game theory (often known as ludology) to try to understand how computer games can serve as representations of ideas. Looking at three fundamental aspects of computer games – the gameworlds, the rules and the player roles – I find three rhetorical strategies connected with these aspects: authenticity , legitimization and identification , respectively. All of these strategies are connected with an emphasis on discipline and constraints on player behavior within the game, and contribute to a subtly formed ethos which lends credibility and authority to the game – and by extension, to the US Army. Based on an argument about the nature of freedom and discipline in computer games, I suggest a model for rhetorical analysis of persuasive computer games which focuses on the game’s balance of freedom and constraints in each of the fundamental aspects of the game; in which the gameworld is seen on a spectrum between authenticity and autonomy, the player role on a spectrum between identification and identity play, and the game rules on a spectrum between legitimization and opposition.
