  • Peder Larson
    Command and Conquer by Peder Larson Professor Henry Lowood STS 145 March 18, 2002 Introduction It was impossible to be a computer gamer in the mid-1990s and not be aware of Command and Conquer. During 1995 and the following couple years, Command and Conquer mania was at its peak, and the game spawned a whole series that sold over 15 million copies worldwide, making it "The best selling Computer Strategy Game Series of All Time" (Westwood Studios). Sales reached $450 million before Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun, the third major title in the series, was released in 1999 (Romaine). The game introduced many to the genre of real-time strategy (RTS) games, in which Starcraft, Warcraft, Age of Empires, and Total Annihilation all fall. Command and Conquer, however, was extremely similar to Dune 2, a 1992 release by Westwood Studios. The interface, controls, and "harvest, build, and destroy" style were all borrowed, with some minor improvements. Yet Command and Conquer was much more successful. The graphics were better and the plot was new, but the most important improvement was the integration of network play. This greatly increased the time spent playing the game and built up a community surrounding the game. These multiplayer capabilities made Command and Conquer different and more successful than previous RTS games. History In 1983, there was only one store in Las Vegas that sold Apple hardware and software in Las Vegas: Century 23. Louis Castle had just finished up majoring in fine arts and computer science at University of Nevada - Las Vegas and was working there as a salesman.

  • Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
    HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.

  • Zak Middleton STS 145 March 18, 2002
    Zak Middleton STS 145 March 18, 2002 Case History: The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence in Computer Games Computer games within the last 25 years have spanned the spectrum from simple 2D renditions of popular board games to fully immersive real-time 3D environments. Much of the focus early on in the development of computer games was on better graphics, better interfaces, and better gameplay under limited computing conditions. As graphics and computing hardware steadily increased in processing power, the graphics and interface issues seemed to be increasingly well under control, and game developers began to recognize more and more that improving gameplay was greatly facilitated by improving in-game artificial intelligence. As computer game AI techniques became more advanced, the field of game AI also began to affect the computer game genres that were emerging. Computer game AI has its roots mainly in early applications of digital processing power to classical board games. Computer artificial intelligence applied to games can be traced way back to 1950, almost as soon as computers became programmable, when Claude Shannon and Alan Turing were writing AI for chess programs. In 1952, Arthur Samuel of IBM developed a checkers-playing program that took the novel approach of learning by playing against itself, and the program was able within just a few days to compete well against strong players. Games like chess and checkers were a logical choice for early AI experiments, because board games are usually games of perfect information, meaning that the entire state of the game is easily accessible to the computer.1 Also, such games are usually not trivial search problems with well-defined paths to solutions, since they involve an opponent which adds an element of uncertainty to the equation.

  • Creating Immersive 2D World Visuals for Platform Games – Post-Mortem: Skytails
    Creating Immersive 2D World Visuals for Platform Games – Post-Mortem: Skytails Eveliina Aalto Master’s Thesis Master’s Programme in New Media Game Design and Production Aalto University 2020 1 “Although an image is clearly visible to the eye, it takes the mind to develop it into a rich, tangible brilliance, into an outstanding painting.” — Jeanne Dobie, Making color sing 1 Author Eveliina Aalto Title of thesis Creating immersive 2D world visuals for platform games – Skytails Post-Mortem Department School of Arts, Design and Architecture Degree programme New Media: Game Design & Production Supervisor Miikka Junnila Advisor Heikka Valja Year 2020 Number of pages 64 Language English Abstract Game visuals are a crucial part of the game aesthetics – art evokes emotions, gives information, and creates immersion. Creating visual assets for a game is a complex subject that can be approached in multiple ways. However, the visual choices made in games have many common qualities that can be observed and analyzed. This thesis aims to identify the benefits of applying art theory principles in two-dimensional platform games’ visuals and its impacts on the player’s aesthetic experience. The first chapter of the study introduces a brief history of platform games, screen spaces, and the method of parallax scrolling. Platform games, commonly known as platformers, refer to action games where the player advances by climbing and jumping between platforms. In 1981, the first platform arcade game, Donkey Kong, was introduced. Since then, the genre has expanded to various sub-genres and more complex graphics with the advances in the hardware. The second chapter demonstrates the core principles of art theory regarding color, composition, and shape language.

  • Uma Perspectiva Musicológica Sobre a Formação Da Categoria Ciberpunk Na Música Para Audiovisuais – Entre 1982 E 2017
    Uma perspectiva musicológica sobre a formação da categoria ciberpunk na música para audiovisuais – entre 1982 e 2017 André Filipe Cecília Malhado Dissertação de Mestrado em Ciências Musicais Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica Setembro de 2019 I Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Musicais – Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica, realizada sob a orientação científica da Professora Doutora Paula Gomes Ribeiro. II Às duas mulheres da minha vida que permanecem no ciberespaço do meu pensamento: Sara e Maria de Lourdes E aos dois homens da minha vida com quem conecto no meu quotidiano: Joaquim e Ricardo III Agradecimentos Mesmo tratando-se de um estudo de musicologia histórica, é preciso destacar que o meu objecto, problemática, e uma componente muito substancial do método foram direccionados para a sociologia. Por essa razão, o tema desta dissertação só foi possível porque o fenómeno social da música ciberpunk resulta do esforço colectivo dos participantes dentro da cultura, e é para eles que direciono o meu primeiro grande agradecimento. Sinto-me grato a todos os fãs do ciberpunk por manterem viva esta cultura, e por construírem à qual também pertenço, e espero, enquanto aca-fã, ter sido capaz de fazer jus à sua importância e aos discursos dos seus intervenientes. Um enorme “obrigado” à Professora Paula Gomes Ribeiro pela sua orientação, e por me ter fornecido perspectivas, ideias, conselhos, contrapontos teóricos, ajuda na resolução de contradições, e pelos seus olhos de revisora-falcão que não deixam escapar nada! Como é evidente, o seu contributo ultrapassa em muito os meandros desta investigação, pois não posso esquecer tudo aquilo que me ensinou desde o primeiro ano da Licenciatura.
