UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA ABSTRAK Penelitian skripsi ini bertujuan untuk mengaplikasikan teori Multimodal Interactive Meaning dengan cara menemukan makna interaksi yang terkandung di dalam video game yang berjudul Defend of the Ancient 2 (DOTA 2) dalam bentuk gambar visualdan juga juga pesan yang terdapat di dalam video gametersebut yang didapati dalam bentuk representase atau adaptasi. DOTA 2 merupakan sebuah video game multi-player 5vs5 yang dimainkan secara online dan membutuhkan strategi untuk memenangkan permainan tersebut. Metodologi yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif. Penelitian ini menggunakan model interaktif yang diperkenalkan oleh Miles, Huberman, dan Saldana (2014). Multimodal adalah teori yang diperkenalkan oleh Kress dan Van Leeuwen (1996) dan digunakan dalam penelitian ini karena mampu menganalisis video game melalui gambar yang ditampilkan di layar berdasarkan makna interaksinya. Beberapa gambar yang di ambil dari video game DOTA 2 di analisis menggunakan teori multimodal dan menghasilkan makna interaksi yang membangun gambar tersebut dengan komponen-komponen berupa Contact, Social Distance, dan Attitude yang kemudian komponen-komponen tersebut dijelaskan satu per satu di setiap gambar visual. Hasil dari penelitian berupa hasil analisis dari makna interaksi setiap gambar visual dari video game dan adaptasi dari mahkluk mitologi Yunani dan legenda. Kata Kunci: Image, Multimodal, Video game UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to apply the theory of Multimodal Interactive Meaning by finding the meaning of interaction contained in the video game titled Defend of the Ancient 2 (DOTA 2) in the form of visual images and also the message contained in the video game that is found in form of representation or adaptation. DOTA 2 is a 5vs5 multiplayer video game that is played online and needs a strategy to win the game. The methodology used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. This study uses an interactive model introduced by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). Multimodal is a theory introduced by Kress and Van Leeuwen (1996) and used in this study because it is able to analyze video games through images displayed on the screen based on the meaning of interaction. Some images taken from the DOTA 2 in the analysis use multimodal theory and generate the interactive meaning that builds the image with the components of Contact, Social Distance, and Attitude which then the components are described one by one in each visual image. The results of the research are the results of the analysis of the interactive meaning of each visual image of the video game and the adaptation of Greek mythology and legend.

Games involve people to a large extent where they relate them- selves with the game characters; this is commonly known as game immer- sion. Generally, some players play games for enjoyment, some for stress relaxation and so on.Game immersion is usually used to describe the degree of involvement with a game. When people play games, they don’t necessar- ily realize that they have been dissociated with the surrounding world. Real world dissociation (RWD) can be defined as the situation where a player is less aware of the surroundings outside the game than about what is happen- ing in the game itself. The RWD factor has been expected to measure the losing track of time, lack of awareness of surroundings and mental trans- portation. Objectives. In this thesis, we measure and compare the difference in game immersion between experienced and inexperienced players using RWD fac- tor.

Computer Engineering VCET Mumbai, India Abstract— Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games have received enormous recognition recently. In a match of such video games, players compete in groups of 5 every controlling an in-recreation avatar, known as heroes, selected from a roster of more than a hundred. The choice of heroes, additionally known as select or draft, takes place earlier to the match and alternates among the two teams till each participant has selected one hero. Heroes are designed with one of a kind strengths and weaknesses to promote group cooperation in a sport. Intuitively, heroes in a sturdy group need to supplement each different strength’s and suppress those of combatants. Hero drafting is therefore a tough hassle due to the complicated hero-to-hero relationships to consider. In this paper, we recommend a singular hero recommendation device that indicates heroes to add to a present group at the same time as maximizing the crew’s prospect for victory. For exploits the shortcomings and decreases the strengths of that case, we represent the drafting among teams as a the heroes chosen by the opposing team. Assuming equally combinatorial sport. Our empirical assessment indicates that skilled teams, the aftermath of hero selection can be so hero groups drafted by our recommendation set of rules have astonishing that well devised hero choices can totally give substantially better win chance in opposition to groups a team a large advantage before the match even begins.

The coming two years will be crucial in how fast it grows into a multi-billion-dollar business. The key determining factors are the success of local leagues and the franchising approach, the implementation of regulations, the arrival of new game formats and competition, the uptake of content rights sales, team profitability, and the impact of industry convergence involving traditional media, entertainment, telecom, and sports companies. Depending on how these factors play out in the coming year or two, esports’ growth could accelerate and reach $2.4 billion in 2020 in an optimistic scenario, almost $1 billion higher than the base scenario of $1.5 billion. Europe has been one of the most important regions in the development of the esports industry. Some of the first organizations that made esports popular, especially in the West, originate from Europe. Most notable is ESL, arguably the world’s largest esports organization, which has its roots in Germany. The company has helped build and shape esports from small community events to record-breaking events, including the Intel Extreme Masters in Katowice and ESL One in Cologne.

Case study: Dota 2’s game design and customer experience. Number of pages + App. 58 + 19 The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the culture’s impact on online game designs, how the game could attract players internationally with culturally adaptive design and last but not least create its own digital culture among its players. The main finding of the thesis was the importance of culture in the current online game industry. Since the players were from all around the world, their cultural impacts on the game’s design could be greater than ever. Companies who are aiming for the international market should take different cross-cultural factors under consideration while having the game developed. By studying Dota 2’s design from basic cross-cultural viewpoints of Hofstede’s theory, it was able to explain partly the success of this phenomenon in e-sports, bring out the reasons how an MMORPG can build up its own borderless empire and digital culture. On the other hand, the thesis also suggested solutions to deal with a few current problems the case game’s in-game features and its item designs.
