NG18 Program (Screen)
PROGRAM 2018 PROGRAM#nordicgame 2017 #nordicgame Welcome to Nordic Game 2018 It’s a great pleasure to welcome you to this ﬁfteenth edition of Nordic Game, the only conference in the world with a dedicated focus on the entire Nordic games industry. Over the years we’ve evolved from a humble regional conference into a truly global industry event, as our vision of a strong, united games community and the values so many of us share - openness, innovation and diversity - have resonated with games industry professionals around the world, and they have been welcomed into our extended family. Of course, we continue to proudly celebrate the sheer quality and variety of games developed in the Nordic countries, and this year’s Nordic Game Awards (Thursday, 24 May from 18:00 in the Unreal Theatre) once again reﬂects the imagination and vitality of developers from the region we call home. However, our rapidly changing, interconnected industry doesn’t allow us to rest on our laurels, and our opening keynote (Wednesday, 23 May at 11:00 in the Unreal Theatre) brings together a panel of leaders from some of our most prominent Nordic studios to explore key challenges and opportunities for game developers moving forward. True to the many values we share with our extended global family, we’re also introducing a string of talks - the Impact sessions - that delve beyond the albeit important business and technical aspects of game development, to encourage all of us to think more deeply about the real impact of the games we create - and how we create them - on our world.

The Shape of Games to Come: Critical Digital Storytelling in the Era of Communicative Capitalism
The Shape of Games to Come: Critical Digital Storytelling in the Era of Communicative Capitalism by Sarah E. Thorne A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2018, Sarah E. Thorne Abstract The past decade has seen an increase in the availability of user-friendly game development software, the result of which has been the emergence of a genre of reflexive and experimental games. Pippin Barr, La Molleindustria’s Paolo Pedercini, and Davey Wreden are exemplary in their thoughtful engagement with an ever-expanding list of subjects, including analyses and critiques of game development, popular culture, and capitalism. These works demonstrate the power of games as a site for critical media theory. This potential, however, is hindered by the player-centric trends in the game industry that limit the creative freedom of developers whose work is their livelihood. In the era of communicative capitalism, Jodi Dean argues that the commodification of communication has suspended narrative in favour of the circulation of fragmented and digestible opinions, which not only facilitates the distribution and consumption of communication, but also safeguards communicative capitalism against critique. Ultimately, the very same impulse that drives communicative capitalism is responsible for the player-centric trends that some developers view as an obstacle to their art. Critical game studies has traditionally fallen into two categories: those that emphasize the player as the locus of critique, such as McKenzie Wark’s trifler or Mary Flanagan’s critical play, and those that emphasize design, as in Alexander Galloway’s countergaming, Ian Bogost’s procedural rhetoric, and Gonzalo Frasca’s theory of simulation.

Independent Video Games and the Games ‘Indiestry’ Spectrum: Dissecting the Online Discourse of Independent Game Developers in Industry Culture By
Independent Video Games and the Games ‘Indiestry’ Spectrum: Dissecting the Online Discourse of Independent Game Developers in Industry Culture by Robin Lillian Haislett, B.S., M.A. A Dissertation In Media and Communication Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. Robert Moses Peaslee Chair of Committee Dr. Todd Chambers Dr. Megan Condis Dr. Wyatt Philips Mark Sheridan Dean of the Graduate School December, 2019 Copyright 2019, Robin Lillian Haislett Texas Tech University, Robin Lillian Haislett, December 2019 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This is the result of the supremely knowledgeable Dr. Robert Moses Peaslee who took me to Fantastic Fest Arcade in 2012 as part of a fandom and fan production class during my doctoral work. This is where I met many of the independent game designers I’ve come to know and respect while feeling this renewed sense of vigor about my academic studies. I came alive when I discovered this area of study and I still have that spark every time I talk about it to others or read someone else’s inquiry into independent game development. For this, I thank Dr. Peaslee for being the catalyst in finding a home for my passions. More pertinent to the pages that follow, Dr. Peaslee also carefully combed through each malformed draft I sent his way, narrowed my range of topics, encouraged me to keep my sense of progress and challenged me to overcome challenges I had not previously faced. I feel honored to have worked with him on this as well as previous projects.

Gamer Speak: Analyzing Masculine Speech in Gaming Culture
Gamer Speak: Analyzing Masculine Speech in Gaming Culture Adrianna L. Chandler Linguistics Faculty Mentor: Dr. Lynn Burley The video gaming community is often stigmatized as having characteristics of toxic masculinity, such as misogyny, homophobia and a tendency for violent behavior. While it has been well documented that the video gaming community is dominated by male gamers, and that there are many instances of toxicity within the community, does this mean that the speech of the community is overwhelmingly masculine, in the stereotypically hegemonic sense? If not, what kind of masculinity, or femininity, is the typical gamer more likely to perform in their speech? And is there evidence of this speech actively working to reinforce the characteristics of toxic masculinity within the community? The purpose of this paper is to answer these questions, through reviewing previously researched academic articles, and through discourse analysis of three random online discussion boards, analyzing the use of masculine speech features within each discussion. The research portion seeks to identify what aspects of speech qualify as masculine, give context of gamer culture as well as insight into the online gaming community, and identify the role masculinity plays within modern gamer culture. The analysis portion analyses randomly CLA Journal 7 (2019) pp. 11-34 12 selected discussion boards from the gaming community, sharing opinions on video game topics on games such as the Kingdom Hearts franchise, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cuphead. Through using discourse analysis, excerpts from these discussions are analyzed for any of the aspects of masculinity found within the research section. Lastly, the findings from the analysis are summarized and concluded, and all the questions put forth are answered.

Cuphead Slime Boss Guide
Cuphead slime boss guide Continue Glop HopBlue BroozerSlime SlamSlippery SluggerGrave Danger Goopy Le Grande is one of the first bosses in Cuphead. He appears in Ruse Ioza from Inkwell Isle One. Description The look of Goopy is blue slime with a small red nose. During phase 2, it grows to double its normal size. In his latest form, he has his blue face with an angry frown on a gray tombstone with a cross on top, showing the term RIP (Rest in Peace). The personality of Goopy acts incredibly narcissistic and self-confident in battle, always commenting on how beautiful he is, even as a tombstone, as seen on his death screen. However, he seems to have respect for his opponents as he makes a cap-tipping gesture using the top head of Cuphead and Mugman in his opening animation. Battle of Intro As the battle begins deep in the woods, Goopy tips his cap as a greeting to Cuphead and Mugman. Phase 1 With a face like mine is a crime to be bouncing all the time? - Goopy Le Grande, Phase 1 Death Screen Hitpoints No. 440/288/336 Glop Hop - As the battle begins, Goopy Le Grande begins to bounce around the area in the hope of crushing the player (s) that can be avoided by moving or dashing to the side. In simple mode, there is a longer delay between jumps. In expert mode, Goopy bounces much faster. Blue Broozer - Sometimes, it will stop bouncing, give a little time for the player (s) to react and rush to the players to hit them, turning himself into a giant blue boxing glove after a short pause and screaming PTOO!.
