He has deep knowledge of the tech side of lighting and he is always pushing for better workflows and new features. He's also very artistic, sees the whole picture, and isn't afraid to try new, bold, approaches. He's easy to work with and cares about teaching everything he knows to his fellow colleagues so they can make the best looking games possible. I really hope I will have the opportunity to work with him again in the future!" ● Anton Palmqvist​, Head of Realtime, GOODBYE KANSAS "Fabien is one of the most dedicated person I have ever met. His professionalism as an artist, his will to always deliver to quality, always push the boundaries, help to set and raise the quality bar makes him a key person in the team. He was my go to guy when something didn’t look right, he really helped me push the visual style to MEC. With his technical skills and understanding of, PBR, Frostbite, shading, lighting, rendering makes him extremely important through all the process from pre-production to final. We developed a lot of new technology and he has driving it together with core tech. As a Lead lighting artist he took ownership of driving the visual style of the lighting, pipeline, mentoring and coaching junior lighting artist and feedback to external partners. He lit most of the cut scenes, and the end result speaks for itself. It felt really reassuring to have him as this position, because I knew he would never let me down and always deliver to quality." ● Jhony Ljungstedt​, Art Director, DICE 5 "When Fabien started at Guerrilla he quickly showed himself as being a team player and a great artist. Someone who can adapt to workflow quickly, but first and foremost, as someone who has a tireless drive to innovate and perfect, and always takes responsibility for the work he is assigned to complete, but he is also good at mentoring new hires, and getting them on their way, and supporting them in whichever way he can. During the three years he worked with us, he developed these skills further, and surprised by coming up with clever solutions through scripting, and, ways of improving workflow and communicating these to our tools team. He has a good eye for color, composition, and anticipating the final result before it comes together. This gives him the benefit to try many solutions and lighting setups quick, so he can offer alternatives, or have a good case against them. Fabien stays up to date with the latest and greatest in graphics development, and is not afraid to come up with "out of the box" solutions to solve issues that cannot be solved in traditional ways. I am convinced there is nothing he cannot learn and master. He is a great artist. Working with Fabien has been a great experience, and I dearly hope that our paths will cross again at some point." ● Roderick Van Der Steen​, ​Lead Lighting Artist, Guerrilla Games "Fabien is an excellent lighting artist, whose skill and knowledge goes way beyond into other fields, including modeling / texturing, shading, cinematic creation, photography and more. He is highly efficient and very fast in creating an excellent high quality work result. He was a great colleague and team-worker who was always there to help out and share his knowledge. It was a very great pleasure to work with him." ● Julian Fries​, ​Principal Cinematic Artist, Guerrilla Games "Fabien is a great artist and knows well how to get the best out of any 3D tool: Vfx, lighting, 3D assets... I really enjoyed to work with him and will work again if I can." ● Cédric Toton​, ​Technical Art Director, Ubisoft Montpellier "Fabien is a quality computer artist. He has a good artistic culture and good technical skills (graphic softwares and tools related to the production line). He is responsible, autonomous, and likes to make good quality work. He has a good capacity modeling, texturing and lightning. His great interest is lightning and does it with talent. He knows teamwork and share their knowledge." ● Jean-Christophe Blanc​, ​Art Director, Eden Games .

  • Understanding the Current State of Toxicity in Battlefield V
    “ROFL F*ck You”: Understanding the Current State of Toxicity in Battlefield V By Justin Juvrud Supervisor: Dr Susann Baez Ullberg 2020 Nr 99 2 Abstract: With the birth of “virtual worlds,” created a new space for social norms to evolve and change within a subset community. This thesis focuses on toxicity within the virtual world of EA DICE’s Battlefield V title. The goal of this research is to understand toxicity on a micro scale inside the world of Battlefield V from a gaming anthropological perspective. Along with understanding what toxicity looked like within the virtual world ofBattlefield V, the thesis obtained data for how the community and EA DICE employees perceived toxicity. This research has components of interviews with these members of the communities/staff as well as a netnography of the virtual world of Battlefield V gameplay. Findings and analysis were categorized under the themes of toxic language, power/freedom, virtual world creation, and gender toxicity. Battlefield V toxicity is ever evolving and shaped by player techne (player actions). Player chat consumes the majority of toxicity and therefore diving into toxic language was vital. Understanding the player perspective of power and freedom while gaming was just the first step as the thesis also dove into the developer’s perspective and analyzed the interviews with the backbone of Malaby’s (2009) contingency concepts to see how the developers have a large role to play when it comes to toxicity in games, even if they may not realize it. Just as in the “real world” the virtual world of Battlefield V also had a major theme of gender discrimination winessed and discussed via both community members and staff members of EA DICE.

  • Sven Dwulecki, ''I Am Thou… Thou Art I…''—How Persona 4'S Young Adult
    “I am thou… Thou art I…”—How Persona 4’s Young Adult Fiction Communicates Japanese Values Sven Dwulecki Abstract Life is Strange, INSIDE, Oxenfree—all these video games represent a seem- ingly entirely new genre. Young Adult videogames diverge from the male, gloomy grown-up stereotypes and replace them with adolescent protago- nists in their coming of age stories. Their commercial success seem to val- idate their endeavors. However, YA narratives are hidden in plain sights for many years within JRPGs. Shin Megami Tensei – Persona 4 (short Persona 4 or P4) is a cultural ambassador. This paper examines how the game’s pro- cedural rhetoric in combination with its Young Adult story advocate in fa- vor of specific Japanese values. The time structure of P4 reinforces a long- term orientation and requires strategic planning as well as tactical flexibil- ity. So-called “Social Links” represents Japan unique take on collectivism. Each link encapsulates a small YA narrative and offers different benefits to social-active protagonist. Finally, grinding mechanics reflect the notion of repetition-based learning. Japanese schools teach through engaging with developing several solutions to a singular problem. The same holds true for the grinding process. All these elements combined create a game rhet- oric promoting these aspects of Japanese culture. Sven Dwulecki is a PhD candidate at the University of Tübingen and former market researcher at Crytek; his research is focused on the rhetoric of video games and their influence upon consumers; in his field of expertise he combines business and digital rhetoric with a focus on marketing strategy, innovation, and the role of entertainment industry.

U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE Strategic Studies Institute U.S. Army War College, Carlisle, PA The Letort Papers In the early 18th century, James Letort, an explorer and fur trader, was instrumental in opening up the Cumberland Valley to settlement. By 1752, there was a garrison on Letort Creek at what is today Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. In those days, Carlisle Barracks lay at the western edge of the American colonies. It was a bastion for the protection of settlers and a departure point for further exploration. Today, as was the case over two centuries ago, Carlisle Barracks, as the home of the U.S. Army War College, is a place of transition and transformation. In the same spirit of bold curiosity that compelled the men and women who, like Letort, settled the American West, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) presents The Letort Papers. This series allows SSI to publish papers, retrospectives, speeches, or essays of interest to the defense academic community which may not correspond with our mainstream policy-oriented publications.

    “Beautiful Forcefields!” Promotional Metadiscursive Language in eSports Commentaries ” Underbara kraftfält!” Promotionsbef rämjande metadiskursivt språ k i eSportskommentar er Johannes Byrö Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences English English III: D egree Project 15hp Supervisor: Andrea Schalley Examiner : Solveig Granath October 2017 Title: “Beautiful Forcefields!”: Promotiona l Metadiscursive language in eSports Commentaries Titel på svenska: ” Underbara kraftfält!”: Promoti onsbef rämjande metadiskursi v t språk i eSportskommenta rer Author: Johannes Byrö Pages: 45 Abstract For an eSports commentator, the ability to promote the rivalry between the competitors is just as important as fast and accurate commentary. Th us, it is of interest how an experienced commentator achieves this promotional language per some theoretical framework. Using the relatively new and unexplored linguistic field of pro motional metadiscourse the quality o f comment ary can be evaluated quantifiably . T hus, t his paper investigates the promotional l anguage used by accomplished eSports commentators, in contrast to inexpe rienced novices, in the game StarCraft II. This is achieved with a lexical analysis of two StarCraft I I commentaries using categories of promotional langu age previously identified in press releases. Experienced commentators were found to have a much more extensive and varied vocabulary than their inexperienced counterparts, adopting stronger evaluative adj ectives and adverbs, as well as metaphorical language, in their commentaries. After comparing the commentaries with each other, the comments of two experienced commentators were compared. In this analysis, the same results were found in regards to commenta tor experience, as the less experienced commentator in this team featured less varied and weaker evaluative language than his more experienced co - commentator, yet more varied and evaluative than the novices .

  • Battlefield V Xbox
    WARNING Before playing this game, read the Xbox One system, and accessory manuals for important safety and health information. www.xbox.com/support. Important Health Warning: Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents, watch for or ask children about these symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely to experience these seizures. The risk may be reduced by being farther from the screen; using a smaller screen; playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when drowsy or fatigued. If you or any relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
