N° attribué par la bibliothèque : │__ │__ │__ │__ │__ │__ │__ │__ │__ │__ │__ │ 1 Résumé Les jeux vidéo sont un divertissement qui touche un public de plus en plus large. Cependant, le concept même de jeux basés sur la perception visuelle exclue toute une catégorie de joueurs: les personnes déficientes visuelles. Nous avons effectué un état de l’art des jeux sonores sous leurs différentes formes dans la première partie de cette thèse. Les jeux sonores souffrent d’une prise en main difficile. L’explication des règles par l’utilisation du langage n’est pas assez efficace et nuit au rythme de l’interaction. Nous nous demandons s’il est possible d’inclure un système non langagier permettant un démarrage rapide de la partie dans un jeu sonore accessible aux personnes non voyantes. La seconde partie constitue une réflexion théorique sur les qualités que doivent présenter les jeux pour permettre une prise en main rapide. Nous expliquons comment une personne devient joueur progressivement en suivant un processus d’apprentissage basé sur l’interaction.

  • Independent Games (1997–Present)
    Chapter 10 Independent Games (1997–Present) Copyrighted Materials The Scratchware Manifesto and Dimensions of “Indie” - In the summer of 2000, a group of anonymousCRC game designers published a three-part essay, The Scratchware Manifesto, on the abandonware archive site, Home of the Underdogs . The declaration delivered a scathing critique of practices in the digital game industry: it criticized publishersPress who chose game genres with safe investment returns over innovative ones, who made demands on workers with long periods of crunch time, and who shipped buggy games that resulted from rushed production schedules . The essay called for an alter- native type of game described as “scratchware ”. It was to be accessible, high quality, replayable, short, and created by teams of three or less individuals with multiple skill sets . Scratchware games were to focus on 2D art, which allowed for economical and rapid development while providing the opportunity to explore untapped aesthetic avenues . Key to scratchware games would be their cost and method of distribution: $25 or less and deliverable without retailers, via the Internet . Each element was intended to break the practices of the game industry by producing easy-to-acquire games with greater novelty in design, at lower cost to players . In short, it was a rallying cry for the creation of inde- pendent games . The growth of independent games in the mid to late 2000s appeared, on the surface, to have answered the manifesto’s call . Many had operated at 215 216 History of Digital Games lower budgets and with smaller development teams; pixel art, 2D graph- ics, and other flat styles did allow for efficient development times and a critique of photorealistic 3D imagery; many independent game develop- ers were able to exercise creative control, retain ownership, and develop ideas that large developers were not interested in pursuing .
