Our aim with the study is to contribute with a deeper understanding of how these new social arenas are constituted by its’ participants and the role game design plays in structuring these encounters. As a deliberate attempt to go beyond the discussion in the game studies field about formalism versus play studies, we use both concepts from micro-sociology as well as concepts from the field of game design as our analytical framework. Our results shows that the dynamics of a PUG can be understood in relation to how players uphold and negotiate the boundary between the their in-game-identity based on their gaming skill and a other social relations outside of the game context. Keywords Gameplay design patterns, Goffman, Frame analysis, Pick Up Groups, Ethnography INTRODUCTION Trawling down memory lane, recalling the games that we used to play in childhood can be a bittersweet experience. For some of us memories of careless joy and happy days are blended with episodes of being excluded from play activities, chosen last to a team or leaving a game in a tantrum.

  • Single Player Orientation
    Single Player Orientation Minecraft for mobile Singleplayer orientation This document is for teachers. New words and phrases Singleplayer mode is a way of playing Minecraft on one device. Pupils can only see themselves in the Minecraft world. Multiplayer mode can have up to five pupils working together over the local network. This makes collaboration an option. See the CCEA Multiplayer resource for more information. Game modes: Creative In creative mode, the only task you have is to build things. You will have access to all the resources in your inventory. Survival When you are in survival mode you must find food to survive and/or farm resources to craft and build items. If you die, you respawn and carry on. Adventure Adventure mode is a game mode intended for player-created maps, limiting some of the gameplay in Minecraft. In this mode, you cannot directly destroy any blocks with any tools or place any blocks, in order to avoid spoiling adventure maps.

Minecraft is an open world sandbox game that focuses on building, exploration, and survival. It is an independently developed (indie) game created by Markus Persson and his company Mojang. Although there is an “ending” to the game, the user sets out his/her own objectives, as each action in the game provides rewards. Background Originally known as Cave Game, the first development phase of Minecraft began on May 10th, 2009. After a short development cycle of only 6 days, the first version of the game was publicly released on the 17th of May, 2009. This phase of the game would later become known as Classic, and it can still be played to this day. Over the next couple of years, Minecraft would go through many updates and changes, before being officially released on November 18th, 2011. The Rise of Minecraft Being an indie game, Minecraft lacked a fan base upon initial release. At the time, YouTube personalities began to upload “Let’s Plays,” videos in which people would play a video game and provide live commentary of their interactions. SeaNanners and YogsCast, two successful YouTube channels (at the time roughly 200,000-400,000 subscribers each) presented their adventures in this unknown game to a large audience which multiplied as the videos were spread on social media.

  • The Future Past: Intertextuality in Contemporary Dystopian Video Games
    The Future Past: Intertextuality in Contemporary Dystopian Video Games By Matthew Warren CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies Submitted to: Timothy Portlock, Advisor Hunter College Lee Quinby, Director Macaulay Honors College Thesis Colloquium 9 May 2012 Contents I. Introduction: Designing Digital Spaces II. Theoretical Framework a. Intertextuality in the visual design of video games and other media b. Examining the established visual iconography of dystopian setting II. Textual Evidence a. Retrofuturism and the Decay of Civilization in Bioshock and Fallout b. Innocence, Iteration, and Nostalgia in Team Fortress and Limbo III. Conclusion 2 “Games help those in a polarized world take a position and play out the consequences.” The Twelve Propositions from a Critical Play Perspective Mary Flanagan, 2009 3 Designing Digital Spaces In everyday life, physical space serves a primary role in orientation — it is a “container or framework where things exist” (Mark 1991) and as a concept, it can be viewed through the lense of a multitude of disciplines that often overlap, including physics, architecture, geography, and theatre. We see the function of space in visual media — in film, where the concept of physical setting can be highly choreographed and largely an unchanging variable that comprises a final static shot, and in video games, where space can be implemented in a far more complex, less linear manner that underlines participation and system-level response. The artistry behind the fields of production design and visual design, in film and in video games respectively, are exemplified in works that engage the viewer or player in a profound or novel manner.

  • Adaptive Learning in an Educational Game
    ADAPTIVE LEARNING IN AN EDUCATIONAL GAME Adapting Game Complexity to Gameplay Increases Efficiency of Learning A master thesis for the title of Master of Science (MSc) in Cognitive Artificial Intelligence by Jeroen Linssen Utrecht University, Faculty of Humanities, Department of Philosophy Dated 2011–08–11 for 30 ECTS Supervisors Game research for training and entertainment prof. dr. John-Jules Meyer from Intelligent Systems dr. Herre van Oostendorp from Human Media Interaction Erik van der Spek, MSc from Human Media Interaction Keywords: adaptive learning, adaptivity, artificial intelligence, educational games, game design, ser- ious games Abstract This thesis investigates the possibilities of adaptivity in an educational game called Code Red: Triage. This game lets players assume the role of a medical first responder who has to triage victims. A triage is a procedure through which medical personnel can determine the priority of a victim. The first hypothesis of this thesis is that, by making the game adapt itself autonomously to the player, it becomes more efficient. That is, based on how a player performs in the game, the game changes its properties to suit his needs. The second hypothesis is that the player feels more engaged by the game if it adapts itself to his needs. This would be the case because he would be challenged optimally by the adaptations the game makes. The adaptation consists of determining which victim cases should be presented to the player. Each victim has his own complexity, so when a player reaches a particular skill level, slightly more complex victims are presented to him. This idea is implemented in Code Red: Triage and subjected to an experi- ment in order to falsify the hypotheses.

  • A Study of Pickup Groups in Left 4 Dead 2
    Should I Stay or Should I Go? A Study of Pickup Groups in Left 4 Dead 2 Jonas Linderoth University of Gothenburg Department of Education, Communication and Learning [email protected] Staffan Björk University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University Department of Applied Information Technology [email protected] Camilla Olsson University of Gothenburg Department of Education, Communication and Learning [email protected] INTRODUCTION Trawling down memory lane, recalling the games that we used to play in childhood can be a bittersweet experience. For some of us memo- ries of careless joy and happy days are blended with episodes of being excluded from play activities, chosen last to a team or leaving a game in a tantrum. Those who share such memories know that sometimes a game is not “just a game.” Events that happen during an instance of play are affected by the shared history of the participants and can potentially shape future relations and identities. At the same time, we can recall how some games seemed to facilitate an exclusionary atmo- sphere while others did not seem to have this problem. The same child can be brutally excluded from a game of football only to hours later pass smoothly into a session of hide and seek. The nature of a game session is likely to be constituted between the identity of the partici- 117 pants in the broader social context and the identity as a player in a rule governed game system. Who you are outside the game and who you become in the game will shape the social life of the encounter.
