  • Sparking a Steam Revolution: Examining the Evolution and Impact of Digital Distribution in Gaming
    Sparking a Steam Revolution: Examining the Evolution and Impact of Digital Distribution in Gaming by Robert C. Hoile At this moment there’s a Renaissance taking place in games, in the breadth of genres and the range of emotional territory they cover. I’d hate to see this wither on the vine because the cultural conversation never caught up to what was going on. We need to be able to talk about art games and ‘indie’ games the ways we do about art and indie film. (Isbister xvii) The thought of a videogame Renaissance, as suggested by Katherine Isbister, is both appealing and reasonable, yet she uses the term Renaissance rather casually in her introduction to How Games Move Us (2016). She is right to assert that there is diversity in the genres being covered and invented and to point out the effectiveness of games to reach substantive emotional levels in players. As a revival of something in the past, a Renaissance signifies change based on revision, revitalization, and rediscovery. For this term to apply to games then, there would need to be a radical change based not necessarily on rediscovery of, but inspired/incited by something perceived to be from a better time. In this regard the videogame industry shows signs of being in a Renaissance. Videogame developers have been attempting to innovate and push the industry forward for years, yet people still widely regard classics, like Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998), as the best games of all time. As with the infatuation with sequels in contemporary Hollywood cinema, game companies are often perceived as producing content only for the money while neglecting quality.

    LUDIC VISUALS The Visualizations of Game Mechanics Laura Laakso Master’s Thesis Master of Arts in New Media New Media: Game Design and Production Department of Media School of Arts, Design and Architecture Aalto University 2019 P.O. BOX 31000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Master of Arts thesis abstract Author Laura Laakso Title of thesis Ludic Visuals: The Visualizations of Game Mechanics Advisor Laura Valojärvi Supervisor Miikka Junnila Department Department of Media Degree program New Media: Game Design and Production Year 2019 Number of pages 167 Language English BSTRACT A There is a lot of systemic information in games, but its visual expression has been a relatively under-researched phenomenon. Earlier research tends to pair the visual presentation of games together with the game narrative. However, game mechanics can also be expressed visually. In this thesis, game mechanics are the parts that form the game system such as the rules, the events, and the pieces of a game. This thesis studies how game mechanics are visualized. My research hypothesis suggests that there are components that consist of both game- mechanical and visual aspects. I have named them ludic visuals. This research identifies and explores the presence of ludic visuals in games from the perspective of what is available for a player. This thesis is largely based on previous game research and various theories of perception and experiencing. The experience of being inside a gameworld is deemed similar to the experience of being inside the real world, which made it possible to approach ludic visuals as functional parts of gameworlds.

  • Integrating Visual Effects Into 2D Platformer Games to Enhance Play Experiences
    Integrating Visual Effects into 2D Platformer Games to Enhance Play Experiences Hao Tian Game Science and Design Northeastern University [email protected] Thesis Presented by Hao Tian to the Department of Art + Design In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Game Science and Design in the Graduate School of the College of Arts, Media and Design Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts May, 2020 Abstract This paper offers an experimental result of how to design visual effects in the 2D game to enhance play experience by offering visually appealing graphics and helping players understand the game. Visual effects in the video game industry were used as set decoration because they can attract players from an aesthetic aspect and even help players understand the game better. More than just making the game visually appealing, they can also be used to guide the players on how a game's mechanics should work without using text-based instructions. By integrating appropriate visual effects into a 2D platformer game, the game mechanics become easily understood by the player, and the appropriate visual effects can also help players immerse into the game from both narrative perspective and interactive perspective. In this research project, the development team applied game design concepts and art knowledge to design visual effects based on the principle making them appealing and informative. The visual effects are applied to the game objects or shown with other elements. This paper uses the data collected from the playtest to iterate the design. The result from playtests shows the game designers and graphics designers need to relate visual effects to core game mechanics to help players to understand the game mechanics and the game theme, which can help players to be more engaged in the game.

  • Women As Video Game Consumers
    Women as Video Game Consumers Hanna Kiviranta Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme for Multilin- gual Management Assistants May 2017 Abstract Date: 31.5.2017 Author Hanna Kiviranta Degree programme Degree Programme for Multilingual Management Assistants Report/thesis title Number of pages Women as Video Game Consumers and appendix pages 41 The purpose of this Thesis is to study women as video game consumers through the games that they play. This was done by case studies on the content of five video games from genres that statistically are popular amongst women. To introduce the topic and to build the theoretical framework, the key terms and the video game industry are introduced. The reader is acquainted with theories on consumer behav- iour, buying processes and factors that influence our consuming habits. These aspects are tied together by discussing women as consumers of technology, and the video game mar- keting specifically targeted for women. Lastly, the theoretical framework is finalised with im- portant statistics and earlier data on video game consumers, as well as the specific genres they prefer. The case study research is conducted with the research problem in mind: what video games do women play, and are there common characteristics amongst these games which could give us more insight why they prefer these games and their genres? All the games are analysed through a defined set of questions and criteria, as well as compared to their respective genres and each other. Finally, the results are analysed in relation to the theo- ries on consumer behaviour and past data on women as video game players.

  • Creating Immersive 2D World Visuals for Platform Games – Post-Mortem: Skytails
    Creating Immersive 2D World Visuals for Platform Games – Post-Mortem: Skytails Eveliina Aalto Master’s Thesis Master’s Programme in New Media Game Design and Production Aalto University 2020 1 “Although an image is clearly visible to the eye, it takes the mind to develop it into a rich, tangible brilliance, into an outstanding painting.” — Jeanne Dobie, Making color sing 1 Author Eveliina Aalto Title of thesis Creating immersive 2D world visuals for platform games – Skytails Post-Mortem Department School of Arts, Design and Architecture Degree programme New Media: Game Design & Production Supervisor Miikka Junnila Advisor Heikka Valja Year 2020 Number of pages 64 Language English Abstract Game visuals are a crucial part of the game aesthetics – art evokes emotions, gives information, and creates immersion. Creating visual assets for a game is a complex subject that can be approached in multiple ways. However, the visual choices made in games have many common qualities that can be observed and analyzed. This thesis aims to identify the benefits of applying art theory principles in two-dimensional platform games’ visuals and its impacts on the player’s aesthetic experience. The first chapter of the study introduces a brief history of platform games, screen spaces, and the method of parallax scrolling. Platform games, commonly known as platformers, refer to action games where the player advances by climbing and jumping between platforms. In 1981, the first platform arcade game, Donkey Kong, was introduced. Since then, the genre has expanded to various sub-genres and more complex graphics with the advances in the hardware. The second chapter demonstrates the core principles of art theory regarding color, composition, and shape language.

  • Ancient Greece and Rome in Videogames: Representation, Player Processes, and Transmedial Connections
    Ancient Greece and Rome in Videogames: Representation, Player Processes, and Transmedial Connections Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Ross Clare September 2018 Abstract Videogames are a hugely popular entertainment medium that plays host to hundreds of different ancient world representations. They provide very distinctive versions of recreated historical and mythological spaces, places, and peoples. The processes that go into their development, and the interactive procedures that accompany these games, must therefore be equally unique. This provides an impetus to both study the new ways in which ancient worlds are being reconfigured for gameplayers who actively work upon and alter them, and to revisit our conception of popular antiquity, a continuum within popular culture wherein ancient worlds are repeatedly received and changed in a variety of media contexts. This project begins by locating antiquity within a transmedial framework, permitting us to witness the free movement of representational strategies, themes, subtexts and ideas across media and into ancient world videogames. An original approach to the gameplay process, informed by cognitive and memory theory, characterises interaction with virtual antiquity as a procedure in which the receiver draws on preconceived notions and ideas of the ancient past to facilitate play. This notion of “ancient gameplay” as a reception process fed by general knowledges, previous pop-cultural engagements, and dim resonances of antiquity garnered from broad, informal past encounters allows for a wide, all-encompassing study of “ancient games”, the variety of sources they (and the player) draw upon, and the many experiences these games offer.
