    Battlefields of Negotiation The massively multiplayer online role-playing media game World of Warcraft has become one of matters media the most popular computer games of the past decade, introducing millions around the world to community-based play. Within the boundaries set by its design, the game encourages players to appropriate and shape matters it to their own wishes, resulting in highly diverse forms of play and participation. This illuminating study frames World of Warcraft as a complex socio-cultural phenomenon defined by and evolving as a result of the negotiations between groups of players as well as the game’s owners, throwing new light on complex consumer-producer rela- tionships in the increasingly participatory but still tightly controlled media of online games. rené glas rené René Glas is assistant professor of new media and digital culture at Utrecht University.

  • Sense in Communication
    Draft – Comments and Suggestions Welcomed Version 1.32 Sense in Communication October 16, 2003 Abstract The demand for text messaging relative to telephony, the amount of time spent participating in virtual worlds or digital games relative to television viewing, and the value of camera phone ser- vices all depend on how persons make sense in communication. Three models for communica- tion are information transfer, storytelling, and presence. While analysis of communication has tended to employ the first two models, the third model provides a better orientation for recogniz- ing and organizing useful knowledge about sensuous choices in communication. Making sense of presence of another like oneself is a good that drives demand for a wide range of communica- tion services. From study of living organisms, artistic masterpieces, and media history, this work documents knowledge about this good. Providing means for persons to make sense of presence encompasses competition among communication services with different sensory qualities. Competition to support this good offers enduring opportunities to create high industry value.

To compound the problem, virtual environments have strong real time performance requirements. The complexity of developing these kinds of applications comes from two sources: first, the requirements of the virtual environment itself, with its dynamics and size. The second is the programming language used in development, with its strengths and also the limitations it imposes.

  • Science Fiction Video Games Focuses on Games That Are Part of the Science Fiction Genre, Rather Than Set in Magical Milieux Or Exaggerated Versions of Our Own World
    SCIENCE FICTION Science Fiction Video Games focuses on games that are part of the science fiction genre, rather than set in magical milieux or exaggerated versions of our own world. Unlike many existing books and websites that cover some of the same material, this video games book emphasizes critical analysis, especially the analysis of narrative. The author analyzes narrative via an original categorization of story forms in games. He also discusses video games as works of science fiction, including their characteristic themes and the links between them and other forms of science fiction. Neal Tringham The beginning chapters explore game design and the history of science-fictional video games. The majority of the text deals with individual science-fictional games and the histories and natures of their various forms, such as the puzzle-based adventure and the more exploratory and immediate computer role-playing game (RPG). Features • Focuses exclusively on video games from the science fiction genre—the first book to do so • Provides critical descriptions and encyclopedic overviews of a wide range of the most important science fiction video games • Explores the connections between science fiction video games and other science fiction forms, such as tabletop RPGs, film, and television • Explains the themes that define science fiction video games • Presents a well-researched account of the history of science fiction games About the Author Neal Tringham is a videogame developer, a former astrophysicist, and a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. He is also a contributing editor of and contributor to the third edition of the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, winner of the 2012 Hugo Award for Best Related Work.
