  • Art Worlds for Art Games Edited
    Loading… The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association Vol 7(11): 41-60 http://loading.gamestudies.ca An Art World for Artgames Felan Parker York University [email protected] Abstract Drawing together the insights of game studies, aesthetics, and the sociology of art, this article examines the legitimation of ‘artgames’ as a category of indie games with particularly high cultural and artistic status. Passage (PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, 2007) serves as a case study, demonstrating how a diverse range of factors and processes, including a conducive ‘opportunity space’, changes in independent game production, distribution, and reception, and the emergence of a critical discourse, collectively produce an assemblage or ‘art world’ (Baumann, 2007a; 2007b) that constitutes artgames as legitimate art. Author Keywords Artgames; legitimation; art world; indie games; critical discourse; authorship; Passage; Rohrer Introduction The seemingly meteoric rise to widespread recognition of ‘indie’ digital games in recent years is the product of a much longer process made up of many diverse elements. It is generally accepted as a given that indie games now play an important role in the industry and culture of digital games, but just over a decade ago there was no such category in popular discourse – independent game production went by other names (freeware, shareware, amateur, bedroom) and took place in insular, autonomous communities of practice focused on particular game-creation tools or genres, with their own distribution networks, audiences, and systems of evaluation, only occasionally connected with a larger marketplace. Even five years ago, the idea of indie games was still burgeoning and becoming stable, and it is the historical moment around 2007 that I will address in this article.

  • Real World Performance Tasks
    Real World Performance Tasks Real World Real Life, Real Data, Real-Time - These activities put students into real life scenarios where they use real-time, real data to solve problems. In the Tech Tastic series, we use data from online sources and update our data regularly. Note - some data has been rounded or simplified in order to adjust the math to the appropriate level. Engaging Relevant – Students today love Minecraft, making these activities very relevant to their everyday lives. To pique their interest further, try asking the Your Challenge question to the class first. Authentic Tasks - Through these activity sheets students learn how the video game industry works and are prompted to form opinions and ideas about how they would solve real life problems. A glossary is included to help them with the unfamiliar terms used. Modular Principal Activity - The activity sheets always start with repeated practice of a core skill matched to a common core standard, as set out in the Teacher Guide. This principal activity (or Level 1 as it is labeled to students) can be used in isolation. This should generally take around 10-15 minutes. Step Up Activity - For the Level 2 questions, students are required to integrate a different skill or set of skills with increasing complexity. The additional skills used to answer these questions are set out in the Teacher Guide. This should generally take around 20-30 minutes. Challenge - This is designed to require critical thinking skills and stretch students to reason with math and data to come to conclusions. They are matched up with one of the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice.

  • Playing to Death • Ken S
    Playing to Death • Ken S. McAllister and Judd Ethan Ruggill The authors discuss the relationship of death and play as illuminated by computer games. Although these games, they argue, do illustrate the value of being—and staying—alive, they are not so much about life per se as they are about providing gamers with a playground at the edge of mortality. Using a range of visual, auditory, and rule-based distractions, computer games both push thoughts of death away from consciousness and cultivate a percep- tion that death—real death—is predictable, controllable, reasonable, and ultimately benign. Thus, computer games provide opportunities for death play that is both mundane and remarkable, humbling and empowering. The authors label this fundamental characteristic of game play thanatoludism. Key words: computer games; death and play; thanatoludism Mors aurem vellens: Vivite ait venio. —Appendix Vergiliana, “Copa” Consider here a meditation on death. Or, more specifically, a meditation on play and death, which are mutual and at times even complementary pres- ences in the human condition. To be clear, by meditation we mean just that: a pause for contemplation, reflection, and introspection. We do not promise an empirical, textual, or theoretical analysis, though there are echos of each in what follows. Rather, we intend an interlude in which to ponder the interconnected phenomena of play and death and to introduce a critical tool—terror manage- ment theory—that we find helpful for thinking about how play and death interact in computer games. Johan Huizinga (1955) famously asserted that “the great archetypal activi- ties of human society are all permeated with play from the start” (4).

Examining Committee Duane Szafron, Computing Science Jonathan Schaeffer, Computing Science Mike Carbonaro, Faculty of Education Abstract As video game designers focus on immersive interactive stories, the number of game object interactions grows exponentially. Most games use manually- programmed scripts to control object interactions, although automated techniques for generating scripts from high-level specifications are being introduced. For example, ScriptEase provides designers with generative patterns that inject commonly-occurring interactions into games. ScriptEase patterns generate scripts for the game Neverwinter Nights. A kind of generative pattern, the quest pattern, generates scripting code controlling the plot in story-based games. I present my additions to the quest pattern architecture (meta quest points and abandonable subquests), a catalogue of quest patterns, and the results of two studies measuring their effectiveness.

Because of its underground origins, the Peruvian game industry provides an alter- native, more organic gateway to developing technology industries than forms of the \technological sublime" that have been recurrent over Peruvian technological history. Driven by creative rather than commercial objectives, people interested in game devel- opment figure out ways to get around gaps in existing training options to acquire the interdisciplinary skills they need to create games | setting up alternative infrastruc- tures to connect to each other, share information, and set up collaborations.
