    Curved Space Developed by Only By Midnight Ltd. Contact: [email protected] Curved Space is a smooth blend between a twin-stick and arena shooter, played on environments with a literal twist. It has tight controls, awesome music, and a ton of variation in weapons and Spiders. The arcade inspired action is quick to pick up but has surprising depth in gameplay, story, and replayability. Twin-stick Arena Shooter Curved Space gives you control over a unique ship that glides across surfaces. Intuitive controls, based on a familiar twin- stick scheme, get you right into the action. The gameplay starts with an arcade inspired twin-stick feel, such as in Geometry Wars, but quickly evolves into a more intense arena shooter. Players describe the gameplay is similar to Unreal Tournament or Doom 2016. Literal Twist Curved Space elevates its 2D mechanics by applying them to a 3D surface. Your ship, enemies, and projectiles smoothly traverse the Escher-esque environments. Curved Space is all about shooting an Energy Spider scurrying down a wall, firing a laser that bends around a curve, or sliding over the edge into a breathtaking vista. While the environments feel mind-bending, they have been carefully designed for intuitive and engaging gameplay. You never feel lost or disorientated—even while you’re chasing a spider up the wall and onto the ceiling. Tight Controls The first thing you notice playing Curved Space is it’s fun to move. The controls feel easy and intuitive to use with a familiar quality that makes them feel “just right”. The physics-based gameplay gives your movement a sense of weight and inertia.

    Designing a Hybrid Recommender System for Steam Games

    DESIGNING A HYBRID RECOMMENDER SYSTEM FOR STEAM GAMES JUSTIN V. BOON ANR: 611423 SNR: U1258630 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION SCIENCES, MASTER TRACK DATA SCIENCE BUSINESS & GOVERNANCE, AT THE SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND DIGITAL SCIENCES OF TILBURG UNIVERSITY Thesis committee: prof. dr. ir P.M.H. Spronck dr. M.M. van Zaanen Tilburg University School of Humanities and Digital Sciences Department of Cognitive Science & Artificial Intelligence Tilburg, The Netherlands April 2019 HYBRID RECOMMENDER SYSTEM FOR STEAM Abstract As the number of available games on online distribution platforms increases every day, the complexity of matching the right game with the right user increases alongside with it. Several studies have been conducted into building a recommender system for the Steam platform, all of them incorporating collaborative filtering methods that predict playtime based on a user’s similarity to other users. Given that research suggests that combining multiple different algorithmic approaches may lead to more accurate recommendations, this study aims to provide insight into what extent the recommender system for Steam can benefit from combining a content-based filtering method with the current collaborative filtering method. Data on playtime of users was harvested using Steam’s API, whereas metadata on games was collected by web scraping tags from Steam’s website. Playtime predictions were subsequently made and hybridized, making use of two different switching hybrids. Results show that a hybrid system is, in correspondency to theory, able to outperform both a stand-alone collaborative filtering system and a stand-alone content-based system.

Munich, 14.09.2020 Oguzcan Kirmemis Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Gudrun Klinker for granting me the elaboration of this thesis. I also would like to thank my advisor Fabrizio Palmas for his continuous support and belief in the project from the very start. In addition, I would like to thank my friend Onat Inak for helping me with the organization of the study. Many thanks to all participants that took part in the study and enabled this research to be possible. Finally, my deep and sincere gratitude to my family for their continuous and unpar- alleled love, help and support. Abstract The need for quality user interfaces and controlling techniques is emerging with the mobile game market growing rapidly in the number of published games. Recent developments in mobile technology allowed games in this area to be furthermore complex. For a complex designed game to succeed in the market, it is necessary to find the optimal user interface and interaction mechanisms between the player and the game.
