  • Integrating Emergence and Progression
    Integrating Emergence and Progression Joris Dormans Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences Duivendrechtsekade 36-38 1096 AH, Amsterdam, the Netherlands +31 20 595 1686 [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper investigates how structures of emergence and progression in games might be integrated. By leveraging the formalism of Machination diagrams, the shape of the mechanics that typically control progression in games are exposed. Two strategies to create mechanics that control progression but exhibit more emergent behavior by including feedback loops are presented and discussed. Keywords game design, emergence, progression, level design INTRODUCTION Games are complex rule based systems that exhibit many emergent properties on the one hand, but must deliver a well-designed, natural flowing user experience on the other. These two aspects of games, often referred to as “emergence” and “progression” respectively (Juul, 2002, 2005), are generally considered be two different ways of creating gameplay challenges. Put simply, with emergence relatively simple rules lead to much variation in gameplay, whereas with progression many predesigned challenged are ordered sequentially. According to Jesper Juul, “emergence is the primordial game structure” (Juul, 2002, 324); and is the result of the many possible outcomes made possible by the rules in board games, card games, strategy games and many action games. Games of this type can be in many different states: the displacement of a single pawn by one square in a Chess game can make a huge difference. The number of possible combinations of pieces on a Chess board is huge, yet the rules easily fit on a single page. Something similar can be said of the placements of residential zones in the simulation game SimCity (Maxis Software, 1989) or the placement of a units in the strategy game like Starcraft (Blizzard Entertainment, 1998).

Abstract Rosén, J. 2009. Hyperdistribution and the future of copyright economics A study of the contemporary Nordic Gaming industry. Master thesis. This interdisciplinary study shows that because of the changing demands from consumer caused by the growing influence of the internet and file-sharing the Nordic Gaming industry is going through an economic evolution. This result was derived by using qualitative questionnaires directed towards Gaming industry decision makers in the Nordic region combined with critical discourse analysis based on the methodology of Norman Fairclough, using theories of different characters to understand the field. In this thesis the case of the Nordic Gaming industry is used to assert that because of changing demands of consumers and an ever growing piracy movement, societies are evolving into transitional economies where it is increasingly harder to sell products consisting of pure information.
