  • 14 Apple Arcade Games to Play on Launch Day from Strategy to Action to Puzzle Games, Here’S Where You Should Head First
    APPLE MOBILE GAMING 11 14 Apple Arcade games to play on launch day From strategy to action to puzzle games, here’s where you should head first By Russ Frushtick @RussFrushtick Sep 19, 2019, 9:40am EDT Simogo Games Today’s launch of Apple Arcade might be overwhelming to some players. Subscribers who drop $4.99 a month get unlimited access to a large swath of games, and scrolling through the list can feel a bit like trying to find something good to watch on Netflix. The initial launch line-up includes over 50 games, but we’ve gone ahead and narrowed them down to 14 titles you’d do well to check out first. WHAT THE GOLF? Triband/The Label While there are plenty of thoughtful, story-driven games in the Apple Arcade collection, What the Golf? goes another way. What starts as a simple miniature golf game quickly evolves into a bizarre blend of physics-based chaos. One level might have you sliding an office chair around the course while another has you knocking full-sized buildings into the pin. The pick-up-and-play nature makes it an easy recommendation for your first dive into Apple Arcade. ASSEMBLE WITH CARE It makes sense that Apple would work with usTwo on an Apple Arcade release title. After all, the developer is known as one of the most successful mobile game makers ever, thanks to Monument Valley and its sequel. usTwo’s latest title, Assemble with Care, taps into humans’ love of taking things apart and putting them back together.

  • EXTENDED FICTION in GAME DESIGN Austin Anderson (Michael Young) Department of Computer Science
    University of Utah UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL UNMASKING THE PLAYER: EXTENDED FICTION IN GAME DESIGN Austin Anderson (Michael Young) Department of Computer Science INTRODUCTION In any story, an element being diegetic means that it is an element of the story that the characters of the fiction can sense. The simplest example is that of music in a movie; if there is a radio playing music in the scene, that music is diegetic. If a musical soundtrack plays over the scene but is something the characters cannot hear, it is non-diegetic(DIEGETIC). The border between the diegetic and non-diegetic is most commonly referred to as “the fourth wall” (Webster), in reference to the imaginary fourth wall of a play set, where the sides and back of the room that events are taking place in are fully represented on the theater stage, but the opening through which the audience observes the events of the play is an imaginary barrier. This barrier isn’t just literally a completion of the four walls in a traditional room of a building, but also metaphorically separates the reality from the fiction, quarantining both from each other as to not interfere. The problem with this boundary is that it can’t fully encompass the medium of video games. Video games, at their very essence, are an interactive medium. They require some breach of the fourth wall for them to function, as the game could not proceed to tell its story without a player’s input, which is an addressing of the audience due to the necessity of their action.

  • Du Mutisme Au Dialogue
    École Nationale Supérieure Louis Lumière Promotion Son 2015 Du mutisme au dialogue Les interactions vocales dans le jeu vidéo Partie pratique : v0x Mémoire de fin d'étude Rédacteur : Charles MEYER Directeur interne: Thierry CODUYS Directrice externe : Isabelle BALLET Rapporteur : Claude GAZEAU Année universitaire 2014-2015 Mémoire soutenu le 15 juin 2015 Remerciements : Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement mes deux directeurs de mémoire pour leur implication, leur confiance et leur exigence. Je remercie tout particulièrement Nicolas GIDON, sans qui la réalisation de la partie pratique de ce mémoire aurait été plus chronophage et complexe.. Je remercie et salue Nicolas FOURNIER et Baptiste PALACIN, dont les travaux et la gentillesse ont été une source d'inspiration et de détermination. Je remercie également ma mère, ma tante, Jordy, Julien et Julien (n'en déplaise à Julien), Timothée et mes amis pour leur soutien indéfectible. Merci à madame VALOUR, monsieur COLLET, monsieur FARBRÈGES ainsi qu'à leurs élèves. Enfin, merci à From Software et à NetherRealm Studios pour leur jeux, qui auront été un défouloir bienvenu. Page 2 Résumé Ce mémoire de master a pour objet d'étude les interactions vocales dans le jeu vidéo. Cependant, il ne se limite pas à une étude historique de l'évolution de la vocalité au sein des jeux vidéo mais en propose une formalisation théorique autour de trois concepts essentiels : Mécanique, Narration et Immersion. De ces trois concepts découlent trois types de voix : les voix système, les voix narratives (linéaires et non- linéaires) et les voix d'ambiance. Dans le prolongement de cette étude et en s'appuyant sur les travaux menés dans le cadre des parties expérimentale et pratique de ce mémoire, ayant abouti à la réalisation d'un jeu vidéo basé sur l'analyse spectrale de la voix du joueur, v0x, nous proposons une extension de cette théorie de la vocalité vidéo-ludique afin d'intégrer l'inclusion de la voix du joueur au sein de ce cadre d'étude.
