  • Lollipop Chainsaw Goichiego Sudy I Problem Autorstwa W Medium Gier Wideo
    2015 / Homo Ludens 2(8) Lollipop Chainsaw Goichiego Sudy i problem autorstwa w medium gier wideo DOMINIKA STASZENKO Uniwersytet Łódzki Abstract Goichi Suda's Lollipop Chainsaw and the problem of authorship in video games This paper examines the phenomenon of the game designed by Goichi Suda, also known as Suda 51. It focuses on the analysis of Lollipop Chainsaw, detailing the characteristics of his work, such as a sense of humor, unique aesthetics and controversial solutions. This Japanese designer is sometimes considered as an artist who manifests his original ideas even in high-budget games. This paper also describes the problem of authorship in the video games medium using Suda’s creation as an example. KEYWORDS: Goichi Suda, aesthetics, remediation, authorship 1. Wprowadzenie Kategoria autora w przypadku medium gier wideo nastręcza wiele trud- ności nie tylko w kwestii interpretacji, kim tak właściwie jest autor gry, ale Homo Ludens 2(8) / 2015 © Polskie Towarzystwo Badania Gier 2015 154 Dominika Staszenko także w kontekście pytania, czy w ogóle używanie takiego pojęcia jest zasad- ne w stosunku do interaktywnego dzieła powstałego przy współpracy wielu osób. W teorii filmu przyjmuje się, że reżyser odpowiada zarówno za aspekty techniczne związane z produkcją utworu, jak i estetyczne, co pozwala określić reżysera mianem autora sprawującego pieczę nad wszystkimi etapami powsta- wania dzieła, a także elementami decydującymi o wartości artystycznej obrazu (Carr, 2013, s. 11). Ze względu na fakt, że zarówno filmy, jak i gry powstają dzię- ki zaangażowaniu wieloosobowych zespołów, próba przełożenia takiej defi- nicji autorstwa na grunt badań nad nowym medium wydaje się uzasadniona. Jednakże problemem uniemożliwiającym zastosowanie analogii jest przede wszystkim trudność w rozstrzygnięciu, kto odpowiada za całokształt projektu.

  • Killer Is Dead Review – Let Me Play Already Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 Tell a Long Story About Nothing
    NEWS FEATURES PLATFORMS VIDEOS UPCOMING GAMES GUIDES AUGUST 30, 2013 Search Killer Is Dead Review – Let Me Play Already Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 tell a long story about nothing. Andrea Castellano / Features / Reviews / At the very least, Grasshopper Manufacture creates game worlds where the phrase, “I stayed on the moon last week,” casually leads to all people listening to nods their heads in understanding. Killer Is Dead fails to portray the token weirdness of previous Grasshopper games, and when that realization dawns, the shifted focus on gameplay and story quickly exposes the game’s တԀaws. Despite its short length, Killer Is Dead still manages to eတāectively waste your time with seemingly endless, pointless cutscenes and too infrequent moments of play. Mondo Zappa works for a government funded assassination agency where he carries out contracts killing local trouble makers. With his Genkkou Katana and robotic left arm called the Musselback, Mondo easily dispatches enemies with plenty of time left for the ladies. Like most Grasshopper games, Killer Is Dead injects themes of sexuality all throughout the game. While the amount of cleavage shots and sex jokes doesn’t even compare to the total found in games like No More Heroes or Lollipop Chainsaw, this time Grasshopper and Suda 51 opted for the creepier, more sexist Gigolo missions to get their perversion across. The Gigolo missions place Mondo on a date with a female friend. With the goal of heading to the bedroom established early, when she looks away, you must stare at your date’s naughty parts to raise your Guts meter.

The questions at issue have examined how these four characters have been portrayed by their appearance on the cover of their games and how they’ve been depicted in gameplay. A comparative study has been used to compare how the design on the characters have been differentiated not only from each other but also from the male characters in each game. The essay has also examined what the sex and gender identity have been of the character’s creators and if they’ve motivated their character designs. An analysis has been made to establish if there has been a male gaze present in the design process and the game and if this has led to the character’s being sexualized. Judith Butler’s performativity theory has been used for this essay along with Laura Mulvey’s theory of the male gaze as well as an intersectional approach according to Kimberlé Crenshaw.

  • Self-Saving Princess: Feminism and Post-Play Narrative Modding - Ada New Media ISSUE NO
    2/18/2021 Self-Saving Princess: Feminism and Post-Play Narrative Modding - Ada New Media ISSUE NO. 2 Self-Saving Princess: Feminism and Post-Play Narrative Modding Alex Layne Samantha Blackmon Since Donkey Kong tossed his first barrel in 1981, princesses in video games have served one purpose: to be saved. Successful completion of Donkey Kong (Nintendo 1981) sees Kong defeated and Jumpman and Lady lovingly reunited. Lady had found her hero and Jumpman had won his prize. Women were cast as damsels in distress and have predominantly been trapped in this role. More than three decades later little has changed. Female protagonists in video games are still almost non-existent. When we do encounter the elusive heroine, she is typically either portrayed as a sexual object to be gazed upon and controlled, or she is simply a female “skinned” version of the male protagonist. Cast into these roles, it is hardly surprising that women and games have long had a troubled relationship, ranging from who is creating the games to who is playing them to who is talking about them. This paper explores and investigates the myriad of ways that video game narratives get modded post-play for feminist purposes (intentionally and unintentionally). We will look at modding through cultural critique of the medium as well as through online discussion surrounding game play and game design that happens without the intent of feminist critique or modding. “Modding” as an activity emerges differently in each context, and we explore examples that show the richness and instability of this concept below.

  • JUMP WISH-LIST Rules/Notes: Settings
    JUMP WISH-LIST Rules/Notes: ● This list is solely for settings that don’t have jumps made yet. ● No jumps you want to see redone, I’m not going to go down this path. If there is any such setting mentioned on list, then as soon as it is pointed out to me, I’ll remove it. ● Settings already claimed will be either removed from list or have claim noted. I’ll accept info about claims only from the jump-maker who claimed it. ● I hope to maintain this list in such way that /tg/, SB and QQ communities can all check it out. If you don’t like something on it, just ignore it. After all, if jump is being made doesn’t mean you have to use it. Furthermore, we all have different tastes, be mindful of that. ● Fanfics will be listed separately. Some people like the idea of such jumps, some don’t. I might end up removing this section altogether just because it is so difficult to decide if certain fanfic would be acceptable for being turned into jump or not. ● Settings will be listed alphabetically within a genre, by their official name. Any other names will be included after that one. Please include genre and medium with any suggestions (e.g. KultHorror - Tabletop RPG; The Culture - Science Fiction - Novel) ● Rule of thumb – recommend settings that you would want to visit in order to interact with characters and storylines, not in order to get specific perks/powers/items. Settings: 0-9 ● 100, The (SF - TV Series) ● 300 (movies) ● 3x3 Eyes (manga) ● 7th Heaven (TV series) ● 9 (movie) ● 100 Bullets (vertigo) ● 11eyes (VN/anime) ● 2 Broke Girls (TV Series)
