    Don’t Forget to Save! The Impact of User Experience Design on Workflow of Authoring Video Game Narratives (Transfer Thesis) Daniel Green Department of Science and Technology Bournemouth University A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2019 This page is intentionally left blank. This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. This page is intentionally left blank. Abstract Since their inception, video games have been a capable storytelling device. This is only amplified as technology improves. Contemporary video games boast awide range of interaction and presentational techniques that can enrich the narrative experience. Supporting authors with tools to prototype their stories, or even as direct integration into a game, is vital. This is especially important as the complexity and length of such narratives continues to increase. Designing these kinds of tools is no easy feat. In order to develop authoring systems for game developers that support prototyping or implementation of their envisioned narratives, we must gain an understanding of the underlying constituents that make up video game narrative and their structural and relational properties. Additionally, when designing the interface of and interactions with such systems, the User Experience (UX) design decisions taken may impact the workflow of the authors to implement their vision. Therefore, we must also gain an understanding of how various UX design paradigms alter the usability of our programs.

    PT, Freud, and Psychological Horror

    Press Start Silent Halls Silent Halls: P.T., Freud, and Psychological Horror Anna Maria Kalinowski York University, Toronto Abstract “What is a ghost?” “An emotion, a terrible moment condemned to repeat itself over and over…” —The Devil’s Backbone (Del Toro, 2001) This paper analyses P.T. (Kojima Productions, 2014), a playable teaser made to demo a planned instalment within the Silent Hill franchise. While the game is now indefinitely cancelled, P.T. has cemented itself not only as a full gaming experience, but also as a juggernaut in the genre of psychological horror. Drawing from Sigmund Freud’s concept of the uncanny, the aim of the paper is to address how these psychological concepts surface within the now infamous never-ending hallway of P.T. and create a deeply psychologically horrifying experience. Keywords psychological horror; the uncanny; Freud; game design; Press Start 2019 | Volume 5 | Issue 1 ISSN: 2055-8198 URL: http://press-start.gla.ac.uk Press Start is an open access student journal that publishes the best undergraduate and postgraduate research, essays and dissertations from across the multidisciplinary subject of game studies.

Kalinowski Silent Halls Introduction The genre of psychological horror is a complex one to navigate through with ease, especially for those that are faint of heart. Despite its contemporary popularity, when the sub-genre first began to emerge within horror films, it was considered to be a detriment to the horror genre (Jancovich, 2010, p. 47). The term ‘psychological’ was often used to disguise the taming of horror elements instead of pushing the genre into more terrifying territories.

  • P.T Game Pc Download Punity

    P.T Game Pc Download Punity

    p.t game pc download Punity. Punity is the Windows adaptation of the brilliant game P.T., the Silent Hills technical demo by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro that so thoroughly amazed and terrified players on Playstation 4. In this tribute to the Konami classic, players walk through the legendary terrifying hallway. The game system in Punity is very similar to the original P.T. Players can walk up and down the sinister hallway and take in all the details. The sounds, bumps, and strange movements you'll start noticing are what make this game amazing. The game has very similar graphics to the technical demo mentioned earlier. Most surprisingly, it uses the versatile motor Unity, so if you have a powerful operating system and can set the graphics at the highest settings, you'll be able to enjoy this spectacular terror even more. Silent Hills' P.T. teaser is now playable on PC thanks to fan remakes. P.T. was the playable teaser for Silent Hills—the reboot of the Silent Hill series that was cancelled in 2015—and even though it was short it still ranks among the best horror games of all time (and certainly one of the scariest). It never made it to PC, but thanks to a couple of fan remakes you can now give it a whirl on your mouse and keyboard. The first remake is called Corridors, and is a recreation of the game in Unreal Engine 4. It's still very much a work in progress (expect bugs), and creator SmoggyChips plans to update it with more levels in the future.

Concerns include the construction of game space as maternal womb, cinematic sequences as primal fanta- sies, and the representation of memory across the games within a psychoanalytic con- text. The horror genres’ preoccupation with monstrous mother figures is evident in boss battle adversaries, the depiction of gamespaces as bloody «maternal caves», and in narratives concerning characters’ searching for their parental origins Distinguishing between videogames’ playable sequences and cinematics as conscious and sub-con- scious aspects, cut-scenes are analysed as reproducing primal fantasies, serving to ex- plain protagonists’ backstory and situating play within narrative contexts. Such mo- ments intrude into the game, marking transformations between the ordinary world and the abject Otherworld, or heralding the emergence of psychoanalytically-resonant monstrous creatures which the protagonist must destroy. Finally, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is examined as a game which, even more than others, foregrounds the series’ explicit reference to psychoanalytic preoccupations, engaging with contemporary un- derstandings concerning the relationship between memory, media and fantasy. Keywords: Silent Hill, survival horror, psychoanalysis, videogames, memory. Resumen En el presente artículo se aplica el marco de estudio psicoanalítico a la serie de survival horror Silent Hill, ella misma basada en temas psicoanalíticos.

    Auteur Theory in Video Games

    AUTEUR THEORY IN VIDEO GAMES: RECOGNIZING HIDEO KOJIMA AND THATGAMECOMPANY AS AUTEURS IN THE VIDEO GAME MEDIUM A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY JULES PATALITA DR. ASHLEY DONNELLY - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2018 AUTEUR THEORY IN VIDEO GAMES 1 CHAPTER ONE-INTRODUCTION “The critic Roger Ebert once drew a crucial distinction between video games and art: he said that the ultimate objective of a video game—unlike that of a book, film, or poem—is to achieve a high score, vaporize falling blocks, or save the princess. Art, he argued, cannot be won” (Parker, 2013, para. 1). This shows a longstanding stereotype about video games, that they are less important than other forms of entertainment. “The joke is, video games are inherently stupid. Once you realize that this is the fundamental underlying narrative of the culture with respect to video games, so much else starts to make sense…I refer to this condition as game shame” (Burgan, 2013, p. 93). But is there reason behind this shame? Even if this was true with the arcade games of the 80s, the medium has surely evolved beyond this criticism. Now on par with the budgets of Hollywood releases, the video game industry is producing games with financial success rivaling film. In 2016, American consumers spent $30.4 billion on video game content; since just 2010, there’s been an almost $10 billion rise in revenue (Entertainment Software Association, 2017). This is calculating just American consumers, a fraction of the overall consumers of the medium.

    Level Design in Virtual Reality Veikka Saaristo BACHELOR’S THESIS November 2020 Degree Programme in Business Information Systems Game Development ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Business Information Systems Game Development SAARISTO, VEIKKA: Level Design in Virtual Reality Bachelor's thesis 68 pages November 2020 This thesis studies level design methodology and best practices regarding both traditional and virtual reality level design, as well as the author’s own professional experience as a virtual reality level designer with the objective of creating a custom map extension to Half-Life: Alyx (Valve 2020). The purpose of this thesis was to introduce virtual reality level design and to display how virtual reality levels are designed and created through a documented example. The thesis focuses on methods and practices that are applicable to work outside of a specific engine or editor. Data was collected from various sources, including several online publications, the individual views of industry professionals, developer websites of headset fabricators, and from literature. The map extension was created as a part of this thesis. It was developed using Valve’s own Hammer editor, which enabled building the level based on an original design. In addition to theory, this thesis addresses the design and creation of this map extension, offering excerpts from the process in form of in-editor screenshots and descriptions. During the creation of this thesis, the superiority of the Hammer editor compared to other editors and game engines used before was noted due to its first-class built-in level design tools. Learning a new work environment from the beginning and the choice of virtual reality headset used in the development proved challenging as the older Oculus Rift headset caused issues while working with a game as new as the one used as the case study.

P. Lovecraft no solo en la literatura, sino también en otros ámbitos como el cine, los videojuegos o el cómic. En este último y, en particular, en el género de terror brilla con luz propia el artista de manga Junji Ito (1963), creador de numerosas obras e historias cortas en las que la influencia del escritor norteamericano es notable. Este artículo tiene como obje- tivo analizar ese influjo a partir de cuatro bloques de temas presentes en las produccio- nes de ambos autores: lo cósmico y apocalíptico, lo onírico, lo monstruoso y sectario y lo musical y sonoro. Se incluye, además, un apartado en el que se pondera la construc- ción del terror por parte de uno y otro autor. A lo largo del trabajo se alude, asimismo, a las diferencias semióticas entre la literatura y el cómic. PALABRAS CLAVE: Terror Cósmico, Manga, Apocalipsis, Sueños, Monstruos THE INFLUENCE OF H. P.
