  • The Evolving Heroine in Nintendo Adventure Games
    The Princess and the Platformer: The Evolving Heroine in Nintendo Adventure Games Katharine Phelps Humanities 497W December 15, 2007 Just remember that my being a woman doesn't make me any less important! --Faris Final Fantasy V 1 The Princess and the Platformer: The Evolving Heroine in Nintendo Adventure Games Female characters, even as a token love interest, have been a mainstay in adventure games ever since Nintendo became a household name. One of the oldest and most famous is the princess of the Super Mario games, whose only role is to be kidnapped and rescued again and again, ad infinitum. Such a character is hardly emblematic of feminism and female empowerment. Yet much has changed in video games since the early 1980s, when Mario was born. Have female characters, too, changed fundamentally? How much has feminism and changing ideas of women in Japan and the US impacted their portrayal in console games? To address these questions, I will discuss three popular female characters in Nintendo adventure game series. By examining the changes in portrayal of these characters through time and new incarnations, I hope to find a kind of evolution of treatment of women and their gender roles. With such a small sample of games, this study cannot be considered definitive of adventure gaming as a whole. But by selecting several long-lasting, iconic female figures, it becomes possible to show a pertinent and specific example of how some of the ideas of women in this medium have changed over time. A premise of this paper is the idea that focusing on characters that are all created within one company can show a clearer line of evolution in the portrayal of the characters, as each heroine had her starting point in the same basic place—within Nintendo.

  • Fall 2014 Concert Series
    Fall 2014 ConCert SerieS NIGEL HORNE, MUSIC DIRECTOR LAURA STAYMAN, CONCERT LEADER Saturday, December 13 - Herndon, VA Saturday, December 20 - Rockville, MD [Classical Music. Play On!] WMGSO.org | @WMGSO | fb/MetroGSO about the WMGSo The WMGSO is a community orchestra and choir whose mis- sion is to share and celebrate video game music with as wide an audience as possible, primarily by putting on affordable, accessi- ble concerts in the area. Game music weaves a complex, melodic thread through the traditions, values, and mythos of an entire culture, and yet it largely escapes recognition in professional circles. Game music has powerful meaning to millions of people. In it, we find deep emotion and basic truths about life. We find ourselves — and we find new ways of thinking about and expressing ourselves. We find meaning that transcends the medium itself and stays with us for life. WMGSO showcases this emerging genre and highlights its artistry. Incorporated in December 2012, WMGSO grew from the spirit of the GSO at the University of Maryland. About a dozen members showed up at WMGSO’s inaugural rehearsal. Since then, the group has grown to more than 60 musicians. The WMGSO’s debut at Rockville High School in June attracted an audience of more than 500. Also in June, the IRS accepted WMGSO’s appli- cation to become a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, opening even more opportunities for the orchestra to grow. adMiniStration Music Director, Nigel Horne Chorusmaster, Jacob Coppage-Gross President, Ayla Hurley Vice President, Joseph Wang Secretary, Laura Stayman Treasurer, Chris Apple Public Relations, Robert Garner Webmaster, Jason Troiano Event Coordinator, Diana Taylor Assistant Treasurer, Patricia Lucast supporters From securing rehearsal space and equipment rentals, to print- ing concert programs and obtaining music licenses, we rely on the support of our members and donors.

    WOMEN AS CHARACTERS, PLAYERS AND DEVELOPERS An educational perspective Master Degree Project in Media, Aesthetics and Narration A1E One year Level 60 ECTS Spring term 2020 Emma Arltoft Supervisor: Lissa Holloway-Attaway Examiner: Rebecca Rouse Abstract There is a lack of female representation in video games, and women are often ignored as characters, as players, and as developers. This thesis investigates how the University of Skövde works with gender diversity in the second game project within those categories. A content analysis was carried out, and a total of 102 documents collected from the course site were coded. It was complemented with additional information from instructor interviews and a student survey. It was found that while there is an emotional commitment to diversity from the students as well as the instructors, there is a lack of clear guidelines and resources to create more nuanced portrayals of diversity. There is significant potential for improvements and a need for a continuous effort to follow up on the content produced. Keywords: gender diversity, representation, ambivalent sexism, objectification, stereotypes Table of Contents 1 Introduction ................................................................................................. 1 2 Background ................................................................................................. 2 Women in video games .......................................................................... 4 2.1.1 Harassment and assumed incompetence ..................................................................

  • Press Start: Video Games and Art
    Press Start: Video Games and Art BY ERIN GAVIN Throughout the history of art, there have been many times when a new artistic medium has struggled to be recognized as an art form. Media such as photography, not considered an art until almost one hundred years after its creation, were eventually accepted into the art world. In the past forty years, a new medium has been introduced and is increasingly becoming more integrated into the arts. Video games, and their rapid development, provide new opportunities for artists to convey a message, immersing the player in their work. However, video games still struggle to be recognized as an art form, and there is much debate as to whether or not they should be. Before I address the influences of video games on the art world, I would like to pose one question: What is art? One definition of art is: “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.”1 If this definition were the only criteria, then video games certainly fall under the category. It is not so simple, however. In modern times, the definition has become hazy. Many of today’s popular video games are most definitely not artistic, just as not every painting in existence is considered successful. Certain games are held at a higher regard than others. There is also the problem of whom and what defines works as art. Many gamers consider certain games as works of art while the average person might not believe so.

  • Designing Gameplay Researching and Testing Nintendo’S Game Design
    Designing Gameplay Researching and testing Nintendo’s game design Malin Ribäck Arcada Biblioteket och Språkenheten Helsingfors 2019 EXAMENSARBETE Arcada Utbildningsprogram: Mediekultur Identifikationsnummer: 6847 Författare: Malin Ribäck Arbetets namn: Gameplays design – Undersökning och test av Nintendos speldesign Handledare (Arcada): Mirko Ahonen Uppdragsgivare: Sammandrag: Studien gick ut på att utforska hur spelföretaget Nintendo designar gameplay. För att testa resultaten i praktiken skapades ett game design-dokument. Därför börjar arbetet med att diskutera vad game design-dokument är och vad de används för. Game design-dokumentet som gjordes i samband med studien är en kombination av det huvudsakliga game design- dokumentet och ett konceptdokument. Därför tar arbetet också upp skillnaderna mellan dessa dokument. För att utreda hur Nintendo designar gameplay utfördes en litteraturundersökning. Materialet som användes i litteraturundersökningen består av intervjuer. Majoriteten av intervjuerna härstammar från Nintendos egen hemsida. För att utforma en teori tar arbetet upp några befintliga teorier för hur Nintendo designar sina spel. För att kunna diskutera Nintendos gameplay definieras gameplays koncept genom att diskutera olika definitioner av olika författare som tar upp ämnet i fråga. Litteraturundersökningen inleds med en presentation av varifrån materialet för studien har kommit. Inledningsvis tar också arbetet upp två viktiga spelutvecklare från Nintendo, för att ge insikt i varför just de personerna är viktiga. För att presentera en helhet över hur Nintendo designar gameplay studeras, organiseras, presenteras och diskuteras innehållet från litteraturundersökningen.
