También los recursos y la tecnología van creciendo y retomamos parte de este avance en la sección Intech, Visión donde se muestra la hiperrealidad y la forma más avanzada del control, el cual ahora lo podemos hacer con los ojos. Lo que inspira a los creativos, la evolución de los Ser reconocida como la mejor revista de diseño gráfico caracteres, los ilustradores de videojuegos, los fotógrafos que se han dedicado de lleno a esta actividad, los a nivel universitario, en diseño, impresión y contenido, y ganadores de los premios Game Awards y un papercraft que sea la plataforma para el desarrollo de talento de los de Yoshi nos llevan por un recorrido en este recorrido que estudiantes de la División de Humanidades y Bellas Artes a muchos diseñadores inspira: los videojuegos. de la Universidad de Sonora. - Editorial Punto y Línea. 4 InspiraciónCREATIVIDAD para los creativos Siempre nos han dicho que para crear algo hay que inspirarse, pero a los creativos de los videojuegos ¿Qué los inspira? Como sabemos existen varias categorías de videojuegos y para cada una de ellas la inspiración ha sido un poco dife- rente, es por ello que a continuación te mencionamos unas cuantas de las categorías que existen y te decimos en qué se han inspirado algunos de los creativos. ARCADE Vienen siendo los rompebloques, laberintos, de velocidad y los que son con camino de obstáculos; como por ejemplo el conocidísimo Pacman que fue creado por Toru Iwatani para Namco en 1979, para el cual se inspiró en un antiguo cuento japonés para la idea del juego, y la figura de Pacman, dice haberla tomado de una pizza a la que le faltaba un trozo. El nombre origi- nal era Puckman, que procede de la palabra japonesa que significa el movi- miento de la boca al masticar, lo que va haciendo nuestro comecocos durante el juego. PELEAS Donde se incluyen combates directos entre los per- sonajes, usando los puños o armas, un ejemplo de ésta categoría es Tekken donde la mayoría de los per- sonajes están basados en famosos actores de artes marciales, con los que tienen mucha semejanza tanto en el físico como en el estilo de lucha, como por ejemplo: Lei Wulong (Jackie Chan), Yoshimitsu (Predator o Depredador), Eddy (Cesar Carneiro), Raven (Wesley Snipes en Blade), entre otros, cabe mencionar que otros juegos como Mortal Kombat y Street Fighter también basaron varios de sus perso- najes en actores reales. AVENTURA DE ACCIÓN Dentro de éste género entra Silent Hill, han decla- rado que son admiradores del filme Jacob’s Ladder y su técnica de inducir miedo a través de un nivel de percepción más psicológico. Para los primeros cuatro juegos fueron notables influencias los libros de Stephen King, Dean Koontz y Kunio Yanagita, los filmes de David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick y Alejandro Jodorowsky, el arte de Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Brueghel el Viejo y Francis Bacon, y la música rock industrial, new age y techno alemán. Inspiración para los creativos 5 Éstos son sólo unos de los muchos géneros que existen dentro de los videojuegos, así que si deseas crear uno, es importante que primero analices el género para el cual vas a crear, veas juegos ya creados dentro del mismo y busques tu propia inspiración. DISPAROS Un ejemplo muy conocido es Metal Slug, digno de notar que el juego en su mayo- ría se inspiraron en las operaciones bélicas ocurridas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, como los escenarios y los vehículos, aunque hay vehículos modernos como el Slug Airplane inspirado claramente en el avión Bae Harrier (Aguilucho), uno de los aviones enemigos el Flying Tara está inspirado en el Focke Wulf FW-190 alemán, curiosamente para evitar que se le vinculara con él mismo, se le pintó de azul y blanco. El mismo símbolo de la Armada Rebelde es una alegoria a la esvás- tica de los nazis de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se adoptó la X para evitar que fuera motivo de polémica en Europa. JUEGOS DE ROL Éstos son popularmente conocidos como RPG, un juego muy conocido dentro de éstos es Final Fantasy inspirado en parte por el popular juego de Enix, Dragon Quest (conocido en Estados Unidos como Dragon Warrior). Sakaguchi tenía el plan de retirarse después de la terminación del proyecto así que lo denominó Final Fantasy (“Fantasía final” en inglés) porque era su juego final, aunque igualmente iba a ser el juego final de la empresa. AVENTURAS Dentro de ésta categoría se encuentra Metroid Prime que entre las influencias mencionadas por los mismos desarrolladores se encuentran las citadas series de la misma empresa Mario por la combinación de su estilo de juego de plataformas, y The Legend of Zelda por el aspecto de exploración que ambas poseen, e incluso se ha expresado sobre la atmósfera de la película Alien. 6 LOS 10 + LA EVOLUCIÓN DE LOS personajes MÁS recordados 10 Muchas cosas han cambiado en la industria de los videojuegos desde que, en el ya lejano 1981 Shigeru Miyamoto creara un primitivo juego de plataformas en 2D hasta la fecha. En todo este tiempo, la evolución gráfica que han seguido tanto los videojuegos en sí como los personajes que los protagonizaban ha sido, como no podía ser de otra manera, absoluta. Prueba de ello es ésta imagen que muestra el aspecto que han ido teniendo a lo largo de los años Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, entre otros. En su mayoría la evolución de dichos personajes depende de la consola de videjuego. 10. pikachu El diseño de Pikachu, fue pro- porcionado por Ken Sugimori, un amigo del creador de los videojuegos de pokémon, Sato- shi Tajiri. En los primeros video- juegos de Pokémon, todas las criaturas fueron retratadas en sprites de dos dimensiones, pero en versiones posteriores, su apariencia se ha proyectado en gráficos en 3D. 7 9. SONIC Es la mascota oficial de Sega. Su primera aparición fue en 1991 en Rad Mobile como el adorno de un auto (para hacer publici- dad). Sonic se caracteriza por ser super rápido (en varios medios se le conoce como el personaje más rápido del mundo), teniendo varias habilidades que le permiten aumentar su velocidad. Su diseño fue pensado en la velocidad por eso sus zapatos, que es lo mas notorio de su evolución, además de este cambio se da tambien en su estatura. irby . K 8 Fue creado por Masahiro Sakurai. Hizo su primera aparición en 1992 con el anime de Kirby, más tarde llegó a la consola portátil de Game Boy. Desde ese entonces Kirby apare- ció en diferentes consolas con juegos en 2D hasta que salió Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards donde se puede apre- ciar a Kirby en 3D. Kirby también cuenta con dos animes, uno es el de 1992 a 1997, anteriormente un manga de Fujio Akatsuka recordado por ser blanco y negro , y el otro fue japonés, europeo y Americano: Kirby: Right Back at Ya! que salió al aire el 6 de octubre de 2001.

  • Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
    HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.

  • Video Game Music: Structure and Analysis 1 Unit P/NP Wed 6-7Pm 128 Morrison Hall
    Video Game Music: Structure and Analysis 1 Unit P/NP Wed 6-7pm 128 Morrison Hall Daniel Raban [email protected] Not long after the inception of the video game medium, music was introduced to enhance the gaming experience. As the video game medium evolved, video game music has flourished into a distinctive genre. In this course, we will address questions such as “What is the unique sound of the video game music genre?,” “How is music integrated into video games?,” and “How has video game music changed over time?” We will analyze common structures in video game music and their relationship to their context, both in-game and historically. A previous familiarity with basic music theory will not be assumed but will be a helpful background for this course. We will begin the course with elements and examples of early video game music and proceed to study music of multiple eras simultaneously, structuring each session around the analysis of a particular facet of the genre. As the course progresses, students will develop a basic musical vocabulary, collection of examples, and repertoire of analytical tools through which they can understand and appreciate video game music. The course will not focus on the influence of notable examples of video game music on the genre; rather, representative examples of musical elements and historical trends will paint a more general picture though which students will be able to determine the significance of video game music pieces not discussed in class. The course sessions will consist of lecture and discussion portions; participation in class discussions will be required.

  • The Birth of “Final Fantasy”: Square Corporation
    岡山大学経済学会雑誌３７（１），２００５，６３～８８ The Birth of “Final Fantasy”: Square Corporation Daiji Fujii 1. Introduction “Final Fantasy” was one of the million selling series of role playing games (RPGs). Square Corporation, which might be known as Square Soft outside Japan, had been known as the Japanese software developer to release this series approximately every year. Square enjoyed large annual turnovers from the series and diversified their businesses including a CG movie production. Journalism shed a spotlight on this software factory as a member of the “Winners Club” in Japan’s economy under the futureless recession in the 1990s. This heroic entrepreneurial company and its biggest rival, Enix Corporation Limited, known to be the publisher of “Dragon Quest” series (“Dragon Warrior” in North America), the other one of the twin peaks of Japanese RPG titles, announced to become one in November, 2002. The news became a national controversy, because the home video game was expected to be the last remedy to Japan’s trade imbalance of software industry. According to the report published by Japan’s industry consortium, Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA), the top 30 titles in terms of the total shipment between 1983−2002 included 13 RPG titles released by both Square and Enix, second to Nintendo’s 14 titles of various genres (See table 1). Independent software firms had had powerful impacts upon Nintendo, which had the combination of Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) as a dominant platform and “Mario” as a killer content. In 1996, Nintendo’s hegemony in the platform market was rooted out by the re−alliances amongst software suppliers and almost dying PlayStation of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE).

We shall strive to achieve our corporate goals while closely considering the following: 1.

We shall display initiative, make contin- ued efforts to further develop our expertise, and remain sincere and steadfast in the pursuit of our goals, while ultimately aspiring to forge a corporate culture disciplined by the pride we hold in our work. 2. Creativity and Innovation To attain and maintain new standards of value, there are questions we must ask ourselves: Is this creative? Is this innovative? Mediocre dedication can only result in mediocre achievements. Simply being content with the status quo can only lead to a collapse into oblivion. To prevent this from occurring and to avoid complacency, we must continue asking ourselves the aforemen- tioned questions. 3. Harmony Everything in the world interacts to form a massive system. Nothing can stand alone. Everything functions with an inevitable accord to reason. It is vital to gain a proper understanding of the constantly changing tides, and to take advantage of these variations instead of struggling against them.

  • Lost Odyssey Jump
    Lost Odyssey Jump By SJ-chan with Abraxes Anon Version 0.9 Changelog 『INTRODUCTION』 Lost Odyssey is the story of Kaim Argonar, an immortal man, a mercenary, a soldier, a man without a past and an uncertain future. It opens on a decisive battle between the Magic Republic of Uhra and Khent, on the Highlands of Wohl. In the midst of the battle, the skies turn ominous and a giant meteor mysteriously appears over the battlefield.

Management Guidelines These guidelines reflect the foundation of principles upon which our corporate philosophy stands, and serve as a standard of value for the Group and its members.
