RESUMEN En este Trabajo Fin de Grado, se presenta un análisis del estado de la cuestión de la creación de videojuegos educativos por parte del profesorado español, y las posibilidades y limitaciones que presenta dicha actividad en el contexto educativo. Además se recogen algunas de las experiencias más significativas realizadas en España, junto con el software libre de creación de videojuegos más empleado por el profesorado. Para llevar a cabo este estudio, se realizó una búsqueda documental en las principales bases de datos educativas. Los resultados permitieron el conocimiento del estado de la situación de la temática, además de un imprescindible acercamiento teórico sobre la creación de software educativo por los docentes. Los resultados obtenidos proyectan un campo poco desarrollado. La faceta de creación de recursos en general, y de videojuegos educativos en particular, está escasamente desarrollada por los docentes. Existen algunas experiencias documentadas de este ámbito en España, aunque el número de las mismas es limitado. RESUMO Neste Traballo Fin de Grao, preséntase unha análise do estado da cuestión da creación de videoxogos educativos por parte do profesorado español, e as posibilidades e limitacións que presenta dita actividade no contexto educativo.

  • Github Action for the Godot Asset Library
    Github Action for the Godot Asset library The past I’ve always been a big fan of the Carol Reed series of adventure games by MDNA games. In case you don’t know them: Carol’s a private detective solving cases in and around the Swedish town of Norrköping. The game mainly consists of a lot of professional-grade photographs that you wander through in perfect point and click manner while collecting items and solving puzzles. The stories are compelling, gripping and fun and walking around in run- down factories is just the right amount of creepiness I need. The games are made using the Wintermute engine, which saw its last release over ten years ago at the time of this writing. Wintermute can only create games for the windows operating system. Being a macOS aficionado I contacted developer Mikael Nyqvist some years ago because I could run his games using Wine on macOS. This was the beginning of a nice partnership where I would recompile his games for macOS and also take some voice parts in the games. With Apple dropping support for 32 bit software and Wine only slowly catching up with Catalina two years ago and now dropping the i386 platform, this became a burden. Meanwhile in Sweden, Mikael also was looking for better scalability and broader platform support. When I sparked a discussion about moving his games to a new engine after getting more intimate with the Godot game engine, things just clicked. Together we worked down a list of features he needed for his games – which honestly was much more than I expected.

  • The Late Modern Hero's Quest for Meaning Norman
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY Institution of Theology Social Sciences of Religion E, 30 hp Spring 2012 Instructor: Önver Cetrez & Valerie DeMarinis Grading Teacher: Önver Cetrez & Valerie DeMarinis The Late Modern Hero’s Quest for Meaning – A case study on the psychological construction of meaning and play, ritualization, and, quests in video games in late modern Sweden. Fredrik Norman 850503-7534 [email protected] Abstract This essay focuses on two cases studies that include two game designers’ views of mean- ing-making construction in games and an analysis of their corresponding games. This is placed in relation to the late modern Sweden context. The study examines how the de- signers conceive purposeful play by employing a multi-disciplinary approach consisting of Pruyser’s three-world model, Bell’s ritualization framework, and, Howard’s quest the- ory. Such a study is relevant due to the new ways meaning-making is actively produced within games and contributes to the understanding of meaning-making in late modern Sweden. The two designers work at DICE and Starbreeze Studios and were interviewed using a semi-structured methodology. The data is analyzed with a qualitative narrative technique applying an inductive theoretical lens to analyze the data thematically. Both respondents illustrate patterns of meaning-making in their construction of games where functionality is central and vital to produce purposeful play. The construction of illusion- istic game worlds encloses on feelings of authenticity to the world’s structure. Realistic, autistic, and, object symbolism operate to mold the world structure and are connected to the designers’ genre. The designer from DICE promotes realistic worlds and the designer from Starbreeze Studios autistic representations.
