Developing a Content Pipeline for a Video Game
Antti Veräjänkorva Art Is A Mess: Developing A Content Pipeline for A Video Game. Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Master of Engineering Information Technology Master’s Thesis 7 July 2020 PREFACE I have a dream that I can export all art asset for a game with single button press. I have tried to achieve that a couple times already and never fully accomplished in this. This time I was even more committed to this goal than ever before. This time I was deter- mined to make the life of artists easier and do my very best. Priorities tend to change when a system is 70% done. Finding time to do the extra mile is difficult no matter how determined you are. Well to be brutally honest, still did not get the job 100% done, but I got closer than ever before! I am truly honoured for all the help what other technical artists and programmers gave me while writing this thesis. I especially want to thank David Rhodes, who is a long- time friend and colleague, for his endless support. Thank you Jukka Larja and Kimmo Ala-Ojala for eye opening discussions.

NG18 Program (Screen)
PROGRAM 2018 PROGRAM#nordicgame 2017 #nordicgame Welcome to Nordic Game 2018 It’s a great pleasure to welcome you to this ﬁfteenth edition of Nordic Game, the only conference in the world with a dedicated focus on the entire Nordic games industry. Over the years we’ve evolved from a humble regional conference into a truly global industry event, as our vision of a strong, united games community and the values so many of us share - openness, innovation and diversity - have resonated with games industry professionals around the world, and they have been welcomed into our extended family. Of course, we continue to proudly celebrate the sheer quality and variety of games developed in the Nordic countries, and this year’s Nordic Game Awards (Thursday, 24 May from 18:00 in the Unreal Theatre) once again reﬂects the imagination and vitality of developers from the region we call home. However, our rapidly changing, interconnected industry doesn’t allow us to rest on our laurels, and our opening keynote (Wednesday, 23 May at 11:00 in the Unreal Theatre) brings together a panel of leaders from some of our most prominent Nordic studios to explore key challenges and opportunities for game developers moving forward. True to the many values we share with our extended global family, we’re also introducing a string of talks - the Impact sessions - that delve beyond the albeit important business and technical aspects of game development, to encourage all of us to think more deeply about the real impact of the games we create - and how we create them - on our world.

MA Thesis NMDC
Shared Play with the Push of a Button: a Mixed-Method Analysis of Sony PlayStation 4’s Share-Platform Rens Lohmann Master Thesis Utrecht University Tutor: Dr. Ann-Sophie Lehmann Second Assessor: Dr. René Glas Submission date: September 22, 2014 [email protected] Keywords Video games, spectatorship, streaming, social, sharing, shared play, platform studies MA New Media & Digital Culture © 2014 Rens Lohmann. Personal and educational classroom use of this thesis is allowed, commercial use requires specific permission from the author. “It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.” (The Legend of Zelda, 1986) ABSTRACT With the incorporation of the Share-button and its underlying platform on the PlayStation 4, Sony has decided to bring social connectivity and the sharing of gameplay to the masses. Video game play streaming and sharing have their roots in early user-generated content, performing, and spectating practices. Examples from the nineties are machinima, speedrunning, and online multiplayer gaming in that period. Users with a high level of technical proficiency created content that was creative, subversive, and initiated new forms of interactions between players and spectators. The creation of user-generated content came under stricter corporate control when it was integrated as a part of well-designed and well- marketed video game platforms. While the construction of this material became more accessible to general players, creativity and subversiveness became more limited. Sony PlayStation 4’s Share-button can be seen as a culmination of this development. As a form of controlled participation, the button and its proprietary platform facilitate remarkably quick production of this content with a limited toolset of creative possibilities.

This will be done in my acknowledgements and unfortunately, it may not be enough to express the amount of gratitude I have for all the encouragement, guidance and help received. Firstly, Rudolf Arnheim’s literature inspired the inclusion of the topic of visual perception within this research on visual game world. He was an exceptional psychologist, theorist and writer, who created Art and Visual Perception and The Power of the Center. It is an honour to study and apply his perceptual theories into the medium of video games. Secondly, I would like to thank the Professor and Chair, Vibeke Sorenson, for this wonderful opportunity to conduct a research within the School of Art, Design, and Media.

Postmortem: Housemarque's Outland
gamasutra.com http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/169282/postmortem_housemarques_outland.php?print=1 Postmortem: Housemarque's Outland By Ilari Kuittinen,Aki Raula [Housemarque's Aki Raula and Ilari Kuittinen delve into the difficulties the team faced when developing its first 2D adventure platformer, Outland, including how a change of core gameplay introduced difficulties mid-production.] Housemarque as a company has been around for over 15 years. We started as a PC developer (our first game was a version of the Commodore Amiga's Super Stardust on PC), produced two snowboarding games for PC and Xbox, before moving onto the current generation and its downloadable game space. Our best-known titles include the PSN hits Super Stardust HD and Dead Nation. Outland is our first cross-platform title and we are continuing on that path, while not forgetting our great relationship with Sony (e.g. Super Stardust Delta for the PlayStation Vita). When we originally put together the concept for Outland, the aim was to make a 21st century version of the old 8-bit platforming adventure games. Initially the idea was to take titles like Pitfall II (Atari 2600 et al.) and Rick Dangerous (Commodore Amiga) to a whole new era. The main character was to be an Indiana Jones-like adventurer, roaming around jungles in search for ancient treasure and truth. Key emphasis was on the physicality of the world, and not yet on the two polar-opposite energies and inhuman agility we ended up with. For the first six months after signing a contract with Ubisoft, the main character had a pistol but no melee abilities.
