Amongst all the various forms that precipitation can have, the spookiest one has to be Mist. Mist us the ultimate thing that you would need to view when driving out of a sepulchre or when you are coiled in a log cabin that has been abandoned on a night full of moonlight. Fog the chuckle that Paul has for misting Barry will be doing in a hard spot. If you want your intestines to feel drowned with the enzymes of fear, you just can experience a new layer of old school mist entwined with the blank ankles such as the fingers which feel as cold as ice cream. These feel like the hands of our ancestors. Table of Contents. What is the game about?

Weapons like the fists, an Evian bottle, and a fruit chunk in, the player is supposed to ask for shelter as well as the resources, manufacturing the tools and all other equipment that is required for surviving the nightfall. Gameplay. Apart from the dark pitched evenings which are as realistic as they can be, in which you just can’t view as far as you can see with your fists. All you can do is contending with the very frequent outlooks of the titular mist. While the smoke keeps rolling in, it brings within the different horrors that can chase the players down and clawing at the race till the player is finally dead. In this process, they become easier to prevent. There is ample shelter which is pre-existing as abundant houses, trailers, and cabins, as well as a mist which can be floating in the time when you are getting indoors and finding a proper corner for taking a nap, whereas the nightmares of Lovecraftian do their task.

Planning For Non-Player Characters By Learning From Demonstration Abstract In video games, state of the art non-player character (NPC) behavior generation typically depends on hard-coding NPC actions. In many game situations however, it is hard to foresee how an NPC should behave to appear intelligent or to accommodate human preferences for NPC behavior. We advocate the creation of a more flexible method ot allow players (and developers) to train NPCs to execute novel behaviors which are not hard-coded. In particular, we investigate search-based planning approaches using demonstration to guide the search through high-dimensional spaces that represent the full state of the game. To this end, we developed the Training Graph heuristic, an extension of the Experience Graph heuristic, that guides a search smoothly and effectively even when a demonstration is unreachable in the search space, and ensures that more of the demonstrations are utilized to better train the NPC's behavior. To deal with variance in the initial conditions of such planning problems, we have developed heuristics in the Multi-Heuristic A* framework to adapt demonstration trace data to new problems.

  • The Relationship Between Survival Mechanics and Emergent Narrative
    The Relationship Between Survival Mechanics and Emergent Narrative Faculty of Arts Department of Game Design Author(s): Amanda Cohen and Maya Sidén Bachelor Thesis in Game Design, 15 hp Program: Game Design Supervisor(s): Magnus Johansson Examiner: Masaki Hayashi May, 2021 Abstract The Survival games genre is infamous for its lack of narrative. In this paper we look at the possibility of emerging narrative in open world survival sandbox games. The survival aspect of a game is heavily tied to specific survival-centric mechanics that are frequently occurring in the genre. These mechanics and systems can in and of themselves give way to an unwritten narrative for each individual player. By working with the concept of Narrative game mechanics, we interviewed a pool of people about their stories and narrative experiences in survival games. After analysing the results we found recurring patterns to indicate how certain types of survival-mechanics can lead to certain types of narrative situations. Key words: Emergent Narrative, Emergent Gameplay, Narrative Mechanics, Survival Mechanics, Sandbox Sammanfattning Spelgenren 'Survival games' (eller 'Överlevnadsspel') är ökänd för dess minimala fokus på narrativ (berättande). I detta arbete studerar vi de narrativa möjligheterna i 'open-world survival sandbox' spel. Överlevnadsaspekten i ett spel är tätt knutet till specifika spelmekanismer (survival mechanics) som existerar i alla former av Survival-spel. Dessa mekanismer, som delar i ett system, kan av sig själva skapa ett oplanerat narrativ för spelaren. Genom att arbeta med konceptet "Narrative Game Mechanics" intervjuade vi en grupp frivilliga respondenter om deras narrativa upplevelser av survival-spel. Efter att ha analyserat undrsökningsresultatet hittade vi mönster som visade hur vissa typer av "survival mechanics" leder till en viss typ av narrativa situationer.

  • Adaptive Technologies in Digital Games: the Influence of Perception of Adaptivity on Immersion
    Adaptive Technologies in Digital Games: The Influence of Perception of Adaptivity on Immersion Alena Denisova Doctor of Philosophy University of York Computer Science November 2016 ii The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ’Eureka!’ but ‘That’s funny...’ — Isaac Asimov Abstract Digital games with adaptive technologies offer more tailored experiences to their play- ers, as gameplay is based on the players’ performances and behaviours in the game. This could potentially lead to better gaming experiences. Though it is also possible that just the mere expectation of clever AI could affect players’ first impressions and sub- sequently their perceived experiences. At the present moment, there is little empirical evidence supporting this claim. This research aims to gather empirical evidence to test the hypothesis that players’ expectations of an adaptive digital game have an effect on their immersion. For this, three studies were conducted. First, preferences were explored as a form of expecta- tions that could influence immersion. The results show no effect of preferences with regards to the visual perspective on immersion. A more controlled manipulation in the form of game descriptions was then used in the subsequent experiments. Participants played a game without adaptive features while being told that the game was adapting to their performance. As a result, players who believed that the game had adaptive AI experienced higher levels of immersion than the players who were not aware of it. Sim- ilarly, when playing the game twice people felt more immersed in the session that was supposedly adapting to their behaviour, in spite of experiencing the same gameplay as in the other session.

Tout d’abord, nous remettons en contexte l’émergence de ce type de production à l’aide d’une analyse historique de divers formats de diffusion (à la télévision, à l’aide de vidéocassettes, dans les suppléments de magazines et sur Internet). Ensuite, nous détaillons les limites et affordances de la plateforme participative YouTube. Puis, nous rattachons les commentaires de jeux vidéo aux concepts de boniment, de performance et de double performance. Enfin, nous analysons quatre genres de vidéos présents sur YouTube : les machinimas, les speedruns, les longplays et les let’s plays. Mots-clés Jeu vidéo, machinima, longplay, let’s play, speedrun, YouTube, boniment, commentaire, double performance i Abstract This research is aimed to understand the audiovisual recording and commentary practices of video games. First of all, we do a contextualisation of these types of production through a historical analysis of the way theses videos were diffused (from televised shows, to VHS, magazines’ bonuses, and on the Internet). After, we detail the limits and affordances of the YouTube sharing platform. Then, we create links between the commentary of video game and the concepts of film lecturer, performance and double performance.

One such subject is the translation of video game achievements, which currently remains completely unstudied. It is the purpose of this thesis to fix this research gap to the extent it is able. Because of the lack of research on the subject in Translation Studies, much of the background of this thesis comes from the domains of Video Game Studies and gamification research. While achievements are a particularly popular topic of research in gamification, translation has not been taken into account in any of that research. This thesis aims to examine features of achievement translation by comparing the source and target achievements of the games The Long Dark and Spyro the Dragon and classifying the translation strategies used in them.

  • Under the Hood: an (Auto) Ethnographic Study of How White Adolescent Males Critically Engage with Race in Grand Theft Auto V
    UNDER THE HOOD: AN (AUTO) ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF HOW WHITE ADOLESCENT MALES CRITICALLY ENGAGE WITH RACE IN GRAND THEFT AUTO V PAUL DARVASI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN EDUCTION YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO DECEMBER 2019 © Paul Darvasi 2019 ii ABSTRACT Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) is emblematic of the public controversies that asso- ciate video games with violence, misogyny, and damaging depictions of race and gender. However, it is also a layered referential and self-reflexive text that roundly critiques US culture, including the pernicious complicity of media on issues of identity. GTA V is the third best selling video game in history, and primarily targets white adolescent males, but its effects on the attitudes and behaviors of its chief consumers are virtually unstudied. Furthermore, the tendency for schools to keep controversial games at a distance may neg- lect a need to better equip adolescent boys with the tools to critically consume the com- plex media in which they are immersed. This doctoral dissertation employs a postcolonial lens and documents a month-long qualitative study where a high school class of ten white adolescent boys played GTA V while in a formal instructional context that encouraged them to critically reflect on their gameplay. Although they viewed the game through the lenses of gender, masculinities, violence, and hegemony, my research specifically reports on how they engaged with representations of race and racialized places in the elaborate urban simulation. The participants were positioned as co-researchers and trained in basic ethnographic methods, and the fieldnotes and filmed videos of their play were synthesized in autoethnographic accounts of their experiences.

  • A Howard Becker Influenced Institutional Theory of Games
    American International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 3; June 2016 Game Worlds: A Howard Becker Influenced Institutional Theory of Games Theresa Devine New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Arizona State University P.O. Box 37100 M/C 2151 Phoenix, AZ 85069-7100, USA Abstract Usually the term "Gameworld" or "game world" refers to an in-game space of a digital game designed by developers and enjoyed by players. In this article, I am not using the term in that way. I am interested in situating the makers, supporters, and critics of the game world in relationship to one another, using the template set forth in Art Worlds written by Howard S. Becker in 1982. His institutional theory of art serves as an exemplar to comprehend the game world from a sociological viewpoint. Currently, no one has taken the time to sort out the sociological structure of the construction, delivery and reception of games. This article fills that gap. Keywords: Artworld, Gameworld, games as Art, Howard Becker, institutional theory, video games, game field analysis 1. Introduction Usually the term "Gameworld" or "game world" refers to an in-game space of a digital game designed by developers and enjoyed by players. A plethora of game studies articles uses this context. (e.g. Gazzard, 2011; Miller, 2008; Doh & Whang, 2014; Latorre, 2015; Grimshaw, et al., 2011; Cassar, 2013) As David Surman put it: "Gameworlds are the expression of a complex cultural and textual interaction, in which the foundational structures of the videogame solicit investment and belief from the player" (Surman, 2007, p.
