  • Indoor Fireworks: the Pleasures of Digital Game Pyrotechnics
    Indoor Fireworks: the Pleasures of Digital Game Pyrotechnics Simon Niedenthal Malmö University, School of Arts and Communication Malmö, Sweden [email protected] Abstract: Fireworks in games translate the sensory power of a real-world aesthetic form to the realm of digital simulation and gameplay. Understanding the role of fireworks in games can best be pursued through through a threefold aesthetic perspective that focuses on the senses, on art, and on the aesthetic experience that gives pleasure through the player’s participation in the simulation, gameplay and narrative potentials of fireworks. In games ranging from Wii Sports and Fantavision, to Okami and Assassin’s Creed II, digital fireworks are employed as a light effect, and are also the site for gameplay pleasures that include design and performance, timing and rhythm, and power and awe. Fireworks also gain narrative significance in game forms through association with specific sequences and characters. Ultimately, understanding the role of fireworks in games provokes us to reverse the scrutiny, and to consider games as fireworks, through which we experience ludic festivity and voluptuous panic. Keywords: Fireworks, Pyrotechnics, Digital Games, Game Aesthetics 1. Introduction: On March 9th, 2000, Sony released the fireworks-themed Fantavision (Sony Computer Entertainment 2000) in Japan as one of the very first titles for its then new Playstation 2. Fantavision exhibits many of the desirable qualities for good launch title: simulation properties that show off new graphic capabilities, established gameplay that is quick to grasp, a broad appeal. Though the critical reception for the game was ultimately lukewarm (a 72 rating from Metacritic.com), it is notable that Sony launched its new console with a fireworks game.

  • Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Free Download Full Version Windows 10 Rollercoaster Tycoon®: Deluxe
    rollercoaster tycoon 3 free download full version windows 10 RollerCoaster Tycoon®: Deluxe. Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe is an enjoyable amusement park management game. With all of the available game scenarios from the original Rollercoaster Tycoon game as well as both the Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes expansion packs, this game is highly addictive and offers players an opportunity to create and manage theme parks. Corkscrew Follies, known in Europe as Added Attractions, gives players more game scenarios and an even bigger range of rollercoasters, rides and shops. Loopy Landscapes, again giving players more game scenarios to enjoy, also features some really exciting scenery and landscaping options. The main aim of Rollercoaster Tycoon is to make the ultimate theme park and meet the objective set at the start. Ranging from achieving a certain park rating and having a certain amount of guests in the park to meeting a particular profit goal, some of these objectives can be as challenging as they are fun to complete. The greatest thing about this game is the fact that players can not only choose from a wide selection of pre-built rollercoasters and rides, but can also design and construct their own. This massively contributes to the main attraction of the game which is to be able to create the biggest, scariest and most crowd-attracting rollercoasters possible. However, Rollercoaster Tycoon is not just about making an exciting theme park for guests to enjoy. Players will need to cover construction costs, invest in marketing research for new rollercoasters and in-park attractions, employ staff and pay for advertising campaigns to draw in more guests.

Quando ouvimos alguma conversa sobre videojogos, eles estão geralmente associados a diversão, mas graças ao potencial de imersão que um mundo virtual nos dá acaba por ser uma grande ferramenta para a passagem de conhecimento. Neste novo meio combinamos muitas formas de arte, umas das mais importantes é a arte de contar histórias. A criação de uma narrativa é um dos valores de produção mais acessíveis na construção de um videojogo, contudo só agora é que as histórias neste meio estão a ganhar mais atenção. Hoje há videojogos que estão a ser produzidos para ensinar novas competências ao jogador, estes são os chamados videojogos sérios. Faz parte da humanidade querer partilhar o seu conhecimento e há uma grande tradição neste campo, como o xamã da tribo a iniciar os membros mais novos na vida adulta. Contudo na procura de ensinar, o factor de prazer em estar a jogar pode ser esquecido, pelo que é importante, equilibrar o factor diversão e o factor ensino.
