  • Die Kulturelle Aneignung Des Spielraums. Vom Virtuosen Spielen
    Alexander Knorr Die kulturelle Aneignung des Spielraums Vom virtuosen Spielen zum Modifizieren und zurück Ausgangspunkt Obgleich der digital divide immer noch verhindert, dass Computerspiele zu ge- nuin globalen Gütern werden, wie es etwa der Verbrennungsmotor, die Ka- laschnikow, Hollywoodikonen, Aspirin und Coca Cola längst sind, sprengt ihre sich nach wie vor beschleunigende Verbreitung deutlich geografische, natio- nale, soziale und kulturelle Schranken. In den durch die Internetinfrastruktur ermöglichten konzeptuellen Kommunikations- und Interaktionsräumen sind Spieler- und Spielkulturen wesentlich verortet, welche weiten Teilen des öf- fentlichen Diskurses fremd und unverständlich erscheinen, insofern sie über- haupt bekannt sind. Durch eine von ethnologischen Methoden und Konzepten getragene, lang andauernde und nachhaltige Annäherung ¯1 an transnational zusammengesetzte Spielergemeinschaften werden die kulturell informierten Handlungen ihrer Mitglieder sichtbar und verstehbar. Es erschließen sich so- ziale Welten geteilter Werte, Normen, Vorstellungen, Ideen, Ästhetiken und Praktiken – Kulturen eben, die wesentlich komplexer, reichhaltiger und viel- schichtiger sind, als der oberflächliche Zaungast es sich vorzustellen vermag. Der vorliegende Artikel konzentriert sich auf ein, im Umfeld prototypischer First-Person-Shooter – genau dem Genre, das im öffentlichen Diskurs beson- ders unter Beschuss steht – entstandenes Phänomen: Die äußerst performativ orientierte Kultur des trickjumping.

  • Embrace the Unexpected: Yet Another Family Conversation
    © 2016 TSJLD & Authors ThaiSim Journal: TSJLD Vol. 1, No.1 (Jan-Jun 2016), 38 – 50 Learning Development (TSJLD) ISSN 2158-5539 http://www.thaisim.org/sgld/ Embrace the unexpected: Yet another family conversation Elizabeth Tipton Eastern Washington University, USA James Murff ArenaNet, USA Abstract This paper summarizes a long conversation between an educational game design mother and her entertainment game tester son that began with a discussion about bugs in video games. Along the way, it led to some interesting observations on emergent behavior and metagaming. Finally, this dialog wandered into experiences with emergent gameplay in the design and implementation of pedagogical simulations and games. The importance of good debriefing in the classroom was also underscored. Keywords: bugs; debriefing; designer-player interaction; emergent behavior, intentional emergent gameplay, metagaming, player agency Introduction: Working definitions of Gaming Simulation Four years ago, the authors made public during panel discussions at ABSEL and ISAGA their conversation on improving educational game design through an understanding of the problems commonly seen in during the testing and consumption of entertainment games. Those dialogues have continued to this day. What follows began over dinner one day when the topic was bugs in video games. 38 Embrace the unexpected: Yet another family conversation Tipton & Murff Bugs Bugs, harmless or otherwise, are a common part of software development. You can't predict every single outcome of a particular scenario, especially when the system is extremely complex. While test cases and extensive QA can help, games always ship with glitches ranging from the hilarious-but-harmless to the game- breaking. Some games ship with so many bugs that they are unplayable, but thoroughly entertaining to watch from the perspective of a horrible disaster playing out.

This correlation between eSports practitioner and virtual world, we argue, is inadequately accounted for solely in terms of something physical or intellectual.

In this article, we present the phenomenological approach and focus on the embodied sensations of eSports practitioners as they cope with and perceive within their virtual worlds.

  • Ambience in Games
    University of Portsmouth School of Creative Technologies Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries An investigation of ambient gameplay By Mark Eyles The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2012 Abstract Inspired by Brian Eno's ambient music, which is persistent and supports different levels of engagement, this research explores ambient gameplay in computer, video and pervasive games. Through the creation of original games containing ambient gameplay and looking for ambient gameplay in existing commercial games, this research focuses on gameplay that supports a range of depths of player engagement. This research is not concerned with ambient intelligent environments or other technologies that might support ambience, but focusses on gameplay mechanisms. The definition of ambient music is used as a starting point for developing a tentative set of properties that enable ambient gameplay. A game design research methodology is initially used. Two very different research games, Ambient Quest (using pedometers) and Pirate Moods (using RFID, radio-frequency identification, technology) are analysed. The resulting qualitative ambient gameplay schema contains themes of persistence, discovery, engagement, invention, ambiguity and complexity. In order to confirm the wider applicability of this result a case study of an existing commercial game, Civilization IV, is undertaken. Ambient gameplay properties of engagement, complexity, abstraction, persistence and modelessness identified in Civilization IV, and other commercial games, are combined with the ambient gameplay schema to develop a definition of ambient gameplay. This definition is the basis for a set of investigative lenses (lenses of persistence, attention, locative simultaneity, modelessness, automation and abstraction) for identifying ambient gameplay.

  • Intuitive Rocket Science, the Game, the Paper
    Intuitive Rocket Science, the Game, the Paper CIS 499 SENIOR PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT Mark Henderson, Ben Kantor Advisor: Stephen Lane University of Pennsylvania PROJECT ABSTRACT Platforming has been a cornerstone of the video game industry since the early 1980’s, and has existed in many different forms, from the classic side scrolling Mario Bros to the Free Running simulation Mirror’s Edge. Platforming as a gameplay mechanic has been included in many genres, and has been adapted and changed for each genre. One of these adaptations, that of using explosions to launch the player long distances (rocket jumping), has received very little professional attention, and is generally only accessible to people playing online multiplayer first person shooters like Team Fortress 2 and Unreal Tournament. Rocket jumping is usually a quick way to trade a player’s health for an advantageous position behind enemy lines, but in every game it is well supported a group of players begin to create specific maps designed around this mechanic. This project will, for the first time, create a platforming game based around rocket jumping. To make it more interesting and challenging, the game will be set in a stylized space environment similar to the setting of Mario Galaxy, allowing level designers to employ dynamic gravity and small planetoids. The project's dedication to platforming over combat will allow for several other improvements for players. Aside from optimized controls and less inadvertent suiciding, players of Intuitive Rocket Science, the Game will enjoy alternatives to static maps with challenge after challenge. A survival mode will have players fleeing from imminent death over an endless field of procedurally generated planetoids, and if time permits a co-op mode will allow two players to complete jumps impossible to accomplish alone.

  • Emotions in Play: on the Constitution of Emotion in Solitary Computer Game Play Olli Tapio Leino
    Emotions In Play: On the constitution of emotion in solitary computer game play olli tapio leino This dissertation is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) at IT University of Copenhagen. Title: Emotions in Play: On the constitution of emotion in solitary computer game play. Candidate: Olli Tapio Leino Ben Websters Vej 14-2-7 2450 Copenhagen SV Denmark +45 266 32705 [email protected] Supervisor: Espen Aarseth Abstract Computer games contribute to their players' emotions in diverse ways, ranging from sheer exhilaration to anger and disillusion. Our ability to enjoy computer game play that involves genuine intense emotions which in other contexts would be easily deemed as \negative" suggests that there is something in the ways in which we make sense of computer games that separates gameplay from other activities we engage in. Focusing on single-player computer games and situating within the emerging field of computer game studies, this dissertation starts from the assumption that emotions are always already intertwined with the experience of play and proceeds to describe, not any idiosyncratic emotional experience, but the means by which games can ensure their contents to be involved in players' emotions. Emotions are taken as intentional, as always about something. From this premise follows that to understand an emotion it is necessary to understand the reasons the subject has for relating to the object of the emotion in the particular way. Building on game studies, existential phenomenology, and philosophy of technology, this dissertation postulates a first-person perspective from which to describe solitary computer game play and the emotions it involves in terms of their experienced significance.

  • Analysing Constraint Play in Digital Games 自製工坊：分析應用於數碼遊戲中的限制性玩法
    CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG 香港城市大學 Workshops of Our Own: Analysing Constraint Play in Digital Games 自製工坊：分析應用於數碼遊戲中的限制性玩法 Submitted to School of Creative Media 創意媒體學院 In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 哲學博士學位 by Johnathan HARRINGTON September 2020 二零二零年九月 ABSTRACT Players are at the heart of games: games are only fully realised when players play them. Contemporary games research has acknowledged players’ importance when discussing games. Player-based research in game studies has been largely oriented either towards specific types of play, or towards analysing players as parts of games. While such approaches have their merits, they background creative traditions shared across different play. Games share players, and there is knowledge to be gleamed from analysing the methods players adopt across different games, especially when these methods are loaded with intent to make something new. In this thesis, I will argue that players design, record, and share their own play methods with other players. Through further research into the Oulipo’s potential contributions to games research, as well as a thorough analysis of current game studies texts on play as method, I will argue that the Oulipo’s concept of constraints can help us better discuss player-based design. I will argue for constraints by analysing various different types of player created play methods. I will outline a descriptive model that discusses these play methods through shared language, and analysed as a single practice with shared commonalities. By the end of this thesis, I will have shown that players’ play methods are often measured and creative.

  • Games and Metaphor – a Critical Analysis of the Metaphor Discourse in Game Studies
    IT University of Copenhagen Center for Computer Games Research Games and Metaphor – A critical analysis of the metaphor discourse in game studies Sebastian Martin Möring This dissertation is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) at IT University of Copenhagen. Candidate: Sebastian Martin Möring Dalføret 11 2300 Copenhagen S Denmark +45 50122497 [email protected] Supervisor: Espen Aarseth September 2013 2 3 Abstract This doctoral dissertation critically investigates how the concept of metaphor is used with regard to games in game studies. The goal is to provide the field with a self-understanding of its metaphor discourse which has not been researched so far. The thesis departs from the observation that the notion of metaphor has been present in the discourse of game studies since it emerged as an academic field and focuses on questions such as: What are the motivations and effects of calling games metaphors in the game studies discourse? Which problems arise from that with regard to other established concepts in game studies such as simulation and procedural rhetoric? How do concepts and insights of contemporary metaphor theory affect the applicability of the notion of metaphor with regard to games? Drawing on concepts from metaphor theory (in particular the cognitive linguistic view on metaphor), play and game theory, cultural theory, semiotics, linguistics, philosophy, and game studies it investigates the metaphor discourse of game studies in the fashion of a meta-study. The main part of this thesis is devoted to three particular problems which have been derived from observations in the overview of the current use of the notion of metaphor in game studies.

Always keep yourself moving in the middle of a firefight, a moving target obviously is much harder to hit. 2.2.2. Use a keyboard AND mouse, always. Using just a keyboard or just a mouse will not get you anywhere. 3.3.3. Become used to your mouse sensitivity, so you can quickly “snap on” to a target. 4.4.4. Do not just strafe randomly, use different avoidance tactics, such as circle-strafing. Most players usually strafe left-right-left-right. Vary your strafing and your moves will be much harder to predict. 2 HEY! Where do you think you’re going! Go to the next page! Your training isn’t over yet, soldier. 5.5.5. Know the levels, mastery of the levels is essential for good playing. 6.6.6. Use sounds to your advantage, (you need headphones or surround sound to use this tactic well) if you hear a firefight in the next room, quickly run in and wreak some havoc. Or, if you hear an opponent pick up an item, jump, fall into water, or anything, try to predict where he/she is and pursue. 7.7.7. When you are using the rocket launcher, DO NOT shoot directly at the opponent(s), shoot at the ground near them.
