The thesis studies the history and nature of these microtransactions and examines their positive and negative effects on game design, as well as analyzes their usage in modern mobile games. To reinforce the research, a mobile game codenamed TownBuilder was developed alongside the thesis. The game paid attention to the designs explored in the earlier chapters and incorporated design choices that attempted to optimize the effectiveness of the microtransactions. In addition to the design, a portable code package was set to be developed to simplify the usage of the in-app purchases in conjunction with Google Play services. The game that was developed during the thesis reached an early alpha stage, with the microtransaction functionality demonstrably in place and some gameplay to go with it. The design of the game was inspired by several successful examples on the field, and even though it is not finished, the design was set a solid foundation for including microtransactions in a player-friendly way. With all its perks and disadvantages, it remains still yet to be seen if microtransactions are the way of the future for the games industry. Despite the success stories, there are a lot of alternatives, some of which yet undiscovered.

  • Innovation Management in the Massively Multiplayer Online Game Industry Master Thesis
    Innovation management in the Massively Multiplayer Online game industry Master Thesis Copenhagen Business School 2013 CM – SOL Strategy, Organization and Leadership Hand in date: 14.10.13 STU 180.009 Pages: 85 Supervisor: Niels Bjorn Andersen Thorkell Olafur Arnason _________________________________ 1 Abstract The video game industry had its start in the 1970s where it began as few amateur programmers creating video games over the span of several weeks. Today this industry has revenues of billions of dollars in the United States alone and its projects are larger and create more revenue than the movie industry. The consumers are no longer boys in their teens but rather men and women in their 30s. One part of the video game industry is a different from the rest, with games focusing on team-work and socializing in a persistent world. This is the Massively Multiplayer Online game or MMO. Millions of people pay subscription to play these games, to access the world of the game. But as these games are ever changing the developers must continually iterate on these games and innovate in order to keep the player interested. In this industry I look for an answer to the question: “How does a Massively Multiplayer Online game company manage the innovation of a product?”. To answer this question I begin by applying Van de ven et al.’s Process Model to the innovation process of a new MMO. This new MMO is Dust 514, the latest game from CCP Games, the developers and publishers of EVE Online, an MMO that came out in 2003 and is still growing every year, with 500.000 players in 2013.

  • Eve Online Is Not for Everyone: Exceptionalism in Online Gaming Cultures
    ISSN: 1795-6889 www.humantechnology.jyu.fi Volume 15(3), November 2019, 304–325 EVE ONLINE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE: EXCEPTIONALISM IN ONLINE GAMING CULTURES Kelly Bergstrom School of Communications University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa USA Abstract: EVE Online is a space-themed massively multiplayer online game that has developed a reputation for being difficult and unwelcoming to new players. In this article, I explore how an emphasis on exceptionalism is present throughout discussions about EVE by its developer, the enthusiast gaming press, and survey responses of current players (N = 647). Taken together, information from these sources reinforces a public perception that EVE is a game that is of interest only to a very specific kind of player. In turn, these findings add further evidence to the long-argued position of feminist game scholars: Not all gaming communities are open to all players. Rather, who plays, what they play, when they play, and/or how often they play is shaped by the larger social context in which play occurs. Keywords: EVE Online, MMOGs, players, exceptionalism. ©2019 Kelly Bergstrom and the Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä DOI: https://doi.org/10.17011/ht/urn.201911265022 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. 304 Exceptionalism in Online Gaming Cultures INTRODUCTION Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) represent a genre of digital games in which thousands of players participate simultaneously in a shared, persistent online world. Research to date has remained overwhelmingly focused on the activities, decision making, in-game behaviors, and interactions among players while they participate in the gameworld of a MMOG.

The game design is twofold: On one hand we have a flexible design for a stand-alone mini-game in the theme of EVE Online where you perform research tasks for points, and on the other hand we have various design ideas for integrating the research tasks more deeply into the core gameplay of EVE Online. The report also covers the implementation of a browser-based proto- type and the beginning of the real implementation of the mini-game inside the EVE Online client.
