Proton, Linux App Summit 2020 and More Published on Tux Machines (http://www.tuxmachines.org) Home > content > Games: Proton, Linux App Summit 2020 and More Games: Proton, Linux App Summit 2020 and More By Roy Schestowitz Created 14/11/2020 - 9:07pm Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Saturday 14th of November 2020 09:07:20 PM Filed under Gaming [1] Steam Play Proton 5.13-2 compatibility layer is out now with improved Direct3D 12 support | GamingOnLinux[2] The Proton compatibility layer used with Steam Play on Linux has a brand new release out with Proton 5.13-2. This release follows on from some Release Candidate builds earlier this week, to clean up some issues after the big initial Proton 5.13-1 release that went up in the middle of October. Proton 5.13-2 Released With A Variety Of Game Fixes, VKD3D-Proton 2.0[3] In time for the weekend Linux gamers is an updated Proton release from Valve and CodeWeavers for powering Steam Play to enjoy the latest Windows games on Linux. Proton 5.13-2 is the newest version of this Wine 5.13 based software that combined with the likes of DXVK and VKD3D-Proton do a pretty darn good job at allowing modern Windows games to often run rather gracefully on Linux. Most notable with Proton 5.13-2 is pulling in VKD3D-Proton 2.0 in offering better Direct3D 12 on Vulkan support. VKD3D-Proton 2.0 should work with games like Death Strandling, Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil 3, Metro Exodus, and others. Check out Linux porter Ethan Lee show off how Linux games are built and packaged | GamingOnLinux[4] You've heard a lot about various packaging systems on Linux from deb to rpm and the next generation with Snap and Flatpak, but what about how games get built and packaged up? Well, that's what Linux game porter Ethan Lee wanted to talk about and show off during the Linux App Summit 2020. Interestingly, it sounds like Ethan Lee put in their talk plan after seeing us announce the event. For those who aren't familiar with Ethan Lee you can check out their port portfolio here which shows just how many games they've shipped including the likes of: Streets of Rage 4 which just recently released, VVVVVV, Owlboy, FEZ, TowerFall Ascension, Dust: An Elysian Tail and a vast many more. Ethan Lee also created and maintains FNA, which is a reimplementation of the Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh libraries. Collabora give an overview of their work with Valve at the Linux App Summit 2020 | GamingOnLinux[5] Interested in all the work the open source consulting firm Collabora are doing with Valve to help improve Linux gaming? We've got you covered. We've already been over a few bits of what they're doing together, like their Linux Kernel work that will hopefully be live with Linux 5.11 and also their work on the Steam Linux Runtime Container system. Collabora have been doing a lot of other work in the open source space too that we've been following, like the Monado runtime for VR and AR (XR) and their work on the Panfrost driver for Mali. During the Linux App Summit 2020, Collabora developer Vivek Das Mohapatra did a presentation giving a whistle-stop tour of their work to give an overview of all the bits and pieces. It's about 28 minutes, so it won't take you long to go through if you want a nice way to catch up.

  • Videogames As Remediated Memories: Commodified Nostalgia and Hyperreality in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Gone Home
    Videogames as remediated memories: commodified nostalgia and hyperreality in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Gone Home Robin Sloan This is the author's version of a work that was accepted for publication in Games and Culture, deposited in Abertay Research Collections: https://repository.abertay.ac.uk/jspui/ The published version of this article is available from DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1555412014565641 Running head: VIDEOGAMES AS REMEDIATED MEMORIES 1 Abstract In the last decade, the maturation of the first generation of gamers has underpinned growing discussion of nostalgia for and in videogames. This paper considers how the search for a connection to our past can be satisfied through consumption of the richly remediated memories represented in nostalgic videogames. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Gone Home are analysed framed by Baudrillard’s theories of consumer objects and simulation. These videogames make extensive use of 1980s and 1990s cultural referents. In particular, they embed references to media (such as music, film, and television) that epitomise memories of these periods. The aim of the paper is to discuss the ways in which the videogames commodify nostalgia in order to fulfil a consumer need for retrospection, and to examine the extent to which they provide a simulation of cultural memory that blurs historical reality with period modes of representation. Keywords: hyperreality, memory, nostalgia, remediation, videogames VIDEOGAMES AS REMEDIATED MEMORIES 2 Introduction Over the course of the 7 th generation of videogames (approximately 2005-2013 and including the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Wii) there has been a growing fascination with collective memories of both videogames and gaming culture.

  • Elements of Infrastructure Demand in Multiplayer Video Games
    Media and Communication (ISSN: 2183–2439) 2019, Volume 7, Issue 4, Pages 237–246 DOI: 10.17645/mac.v7i4.2337 Article Elements of Infrastructure Demand in Multiplayer Video Games Alexander Mirowski * and Brian P. Harper Department of Informatics, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA; E-Mails: [email protected] (A.M.), [email protected] (B.P.H.) * Corresponding author Submitted: 30 June 2019 | Accepted: 18 October 2019 | Published: 20 December 2019 Abstract With the advent of organized eSports, game streaming, and always-online video games, there exist new and more pro- nounced demands on players, developers, publishers, spectators, and other video game actors. By identifying and explor- ing elements of infrastructure in multiplayer games, this paper augments Bowman’s (2018) conceptualization of demands in video games by introducing a new category of ‘infrastructure demand’ of games. This article describes how the in- frastructure increasingly built around video games creates demands upon those interacting with these games, either as players, spectators, or facilitators of multiplayer video game play. We follow the method described by Susan Leigh Star (1999), who writes that infrastructure is as mundane as it is a critical part of society and as such is particularly deserving of academic study. When infrastructure works properly it fades from view, but in doing so loses none of its importance to human endeavor. This work therefore helps to make visible the invisible elements of infrastructure present in and around multiplayer video games and explicates the demands these elements create on people interacting with those games. Keywords eSports; infrastructure; infrastructure demand; multiplayer video games; video games Issue This article is part of the issue “Video Games as Demanding Technologies” edited by Nicholas David Bowman (Texas Tech University, USA).

  • Adventures at the Interplay of Poetry and Computer Games
    DUAL WIELD: ADVENTURES AT THE INTERPLAY OF POETRY AND COMPUTER GAMES JONATHAN STONE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education, University of the West of England, Bristol August 2019 1 Abstract In recent years, poets and digital game developers alike have begun to experiment with the possibilities of poem-game interplay and hybrid poetry games. The results of such experiments are intimately connected to poetry’s expansion into digital-interactive space, a process described by Loss Pequeño Glazier as extending “the physicality of reading”. This experiential augmentation runs both ways: the technologies associated with game development permit the reader’s cybernetic incorporation into the world of the poem, while poetry may be used to lend shape and meaning to the bodily sensations experienced by the player of computer games. Additionally, computer game culture, long underprivileged in arts discourse, represents a new frontier of emergent assimilable dialect for the poet. The components of the computer game – its rules, content, interface, hardware – may all be absorbed into the textuality of the poem, recruited as units of poetic meaning, not just verbally but ideogrammically, imagistically or calligrammically. This is, in short, an abundant new playground for poets, while on the other side of the equation, the organisational strategies of poetry make for an equally rich resource for game developers. This project takes the form of a hybrid of more conventional theoretical analysis and practice-based research, analysing the existing state of poem-game hybridity and testing ways that it might be advanced through the creation of various example artefacts.

  • Infinite Lives Canonvorming Bij Videogames
    Infinite Lives Canonvorming bij videogames Bjorn Schrijen (S4134281) Masterscriptie Letterkunde Onder begeleiding van prof. dr. Jos Joosten en dr. Martijn Stevens 2015 Abstract As with most other forms of culture, an implicit canon exists for video games. Though most players and video game scholars will have a general idea about which titles constitute this canon, there has been no academic research yet about the exact contents of it, or – more importantly – about the processes that lead to canonization. This knowledge could however be very interesting, as it would not only give insight in the way the game industry works, but possibly also in processes of canon formation for other media. This thesis therefore tries to gain insight in the way an implicit video game canon is formed. In order to do this, the game industry is observed from a theoretical framework based on the works of Pierre Bourdieu. Canonical games are defined as games that retain a high amount of both symbolic and economic capital over a long time, and the different parties within the game industry are seen as actors that can allocate these forms of capital to specific games. By systematically studying the different actors and existing writings about them, several hypotheses are drawn about the influence of each actor on canonization. These hypotheses are then tested using a dataset containing 77 games that can be considered canonical. This set was created by combining ten very diverse lists with the best 100 games ever made. As most of these lists are already the result of multiple people’s votes, and only the games are selected that appear in a majority of the lists, this dataset gives a fairly good impression of the implicit game canon.

  • Using a Video Game of Your Choice, Play the Game and Outline All of the Different Types of Audio Components in a Grid
    Using a video game of your choice, play the game and outline all of the different types of audio components in a grid. Taking into consideration the table you created, in what ways do you think that the audio implementation was successful? Introduction Ng & Nesbitt (2013, p.2) argue that having fewer resources and less dedicated sound design expertise means that small-sized game developers tend to create games with lower quality, less effective audio. This essay interrogates that claim by analysing the success of audio implementation within the Indie game Celeste (Matt Makes Games, 2018). To the contrary of Ng & Nesbitt’s claim, we will find that Celeste’s audio is accomplished and effective. In the appendices to this essay are two tables for the reader’s review. Firstly, a table listing the implementation features analysed within the essay (Appendix A) and secondly a table of types of audio components, requested as part of this assignment’s brief (Appendix B). We will begin by outlining three of the general purposes of audio within games: to entertain, immerse and inform (Sinclair, 2020, p.8). To understand how these might apply in the specific context of Celeste, we will outline the game’s story and metaphor underlying it; noting also its structure as well as its basic game mechanics. We are then able to pose three specific questions for audio within Celeste which, in the main part of this essay, we will proceed to respond to in our technical analysis. After a conclusion which summarises this essay and offers some final thoughts on Ng & Nesbitt’s claim, we will comment upon the lessons Celeste offers to the game audio designer.
