In games, we traditionally expect that the effort we exert will influence the game state and outcome, and we expect to feel emotionally attached to this outcome (Juul 2003) such that performing well will make us happy, and performing poorly will make us unhappy. But a number of recent games, derogatorily dismissed as walking simulators, limit both our options for interacting with the game world and our feeling of responsibility for the outcome.

    LOS VIDEOJUEGOS COMO HERRAMIENTA DE COMUNICACIÓN, EDUCACIÓN Y SALUD MENTAL RESUMEN Desde su sencillo origen en 1958 con Tennis For Two y su consiguiente auge en los años 80, ​ la industria del videojuego se ha ido reinventando para hacer de la experiencia del jugador algo totalmente único. Es más que evidente la gran trascendencia de los videojuegos en nuestra sociedad actual, llegando a ser una de las industrias con más ganancias en los últimos años y una de las que más consigue mantener fieles a sus seguidores, debido a todas sus capacidades y aspectos beneficiosos más allá del entretenimiento. Por todo ello, entendemos que, si los videojuegos son un medio tan consolidado y con tanta trascendencia social en el ámbito del ocio, también pueden llegar a tener aplicaciones en otros ámbitos o disciplinas. Esta cuestión es la que va a ser tratada en nuestra investigación, exponiendo como objetivos el llegar a conocer las distintas aplicaciones de los videojuegos en otros ámbitos, debido a sus posibles aspectos beneficiosos (sin dejar de tener en cuenta los perjudiciales) y analizando el cómo son vistos a través de los ojos de una sociedad crítica. Para realizar la investigación nos hemos apoyado en juegos como Life is Strange, Gris o Celeste, así como en ​ ​ entrevistas y encuestas realizadas a una sección de la población. La principal conclusión que podemos sacar de la investigación es que: aunque el uso de los videojuegos no es una metodología muy acogida por los profesionales de la psicología, tiene un gran efecto positivo entre las personas que padecen algún tipo de trastorno psicológico o que ha sufrido acoso.

    LUDIC VISUALS The Visualizations of Game Mechanics Laura Laakso Master’s Thesis Master of Arts in New Media New Media: Game Design and Production Department of Media School of Arts, Design and Architecture Aalto University 2019 P.O. BOX 31000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Master of Arts thesis abstract Author Laura Laakso Title of thesis Ludic Visuals: The Visualizations of Game Mechanics Advisor Laura Valojärvi Supervisor Miikka Junnila Department Department of Media Degree program New Media: Game Design and Production Year 2019 Number of pages 167 Language English BSTRACT A There is a lot of systemic information in games, but its visual expression has been a relatively under-researched phenomenon. Earlier research tends to pair the visual presentation of games together with the game narrative. However, game mechanics can also be expressed visually. In this thesis, game mechanics are the parts that form the game system such as the rules, the events, and the pieces of a game. This thesis studies how game mechanics are visualized. My research hypothesis suggests that there are components that consist of both game- mechanical and visual aspects. I have named them ludic visuals. This research identifies and explores the presence of ludic visuals in games from the perspective of what is available for a player. This thesis is largely based on previous game research and various theories of perception and experiencing. The experience of being inside a gameworld is deemed similar to the experience of being inside the real world, which made it possible to approach ludic visuals as functional parts of gameworlds.
