Gameplay is presented on a 2D side-scrolling plane. The player controls the titular main character, Dust (Lucien Dodge), as he tries to remember his past. Dust wields a sentient sword, the Blade of Ahrah (Edward Bosco), as his main weapon. Fidget (Kimlinh Tran), the sword’s guardian, acts as a companion for Dust and can use magical attacks. As the player travels the world, they can acquire power-ups that permanently alter gameplay, such as the ability to double jump or climb to previous- ly unreachable areas. Incorporating elements of role-playing games, Dust can gain experience points by defeating enemies, and in turn may level up. These can be used to raise various attributes, such as health, strength, defense or magic. Non-playable characters can be interacted with throughout the game’s world to sell items or receive quests. > Plot The game begins with Dust awakening in a forest meadow, approached by a floating, sentient sword. Dust is joined by Fidget, a small flying creature and the sword’s guardian, and sets out for a small town in search of answers. Upon arriving in Aurora, the group find the town overrun with monsters. The mayor of the town asks Dust for his help, and he tracks down the leader of the enemies, Fuse. Just before he dies, Fuse reveals himself to be a Moonblood, creatures who are victims of a genocide perpetrated by a man known as General Gaius. Fuse also tells Dust that he played a role in the war at some point. In game screenshot of dust 4 Mayor Bram instructs Dust to speak to a woman in Aurora named Ginger, who may have more knowledge of the Moonbloods. She is revealed to be part of a group of Moonblood sympathizers, a group that was recently found and killed by General Gaius’s soldiers. After travelling into the northern mountains, Dust and Fidget come across an abandoned village, where Ginger and the leader of the Moonbloods, Elder Gray Eyes, are waiting. Gray Eyes reveals that Dust was created by the Moonbloods from two people who perished at the same time: Jin (Ginger’s brother) and Cassius (an assassin employed by Gaius). These two were exact opposites, Cassius was purely evil but of great skill with the sword, and Jin was completely innocent and good but incapable of defeating Gaius; their combination together became Moon- blood’s “Sen-Mithrarin”. The group then heads to the Moonblood base in a volcanic region to the north named Everdawn Basin, where Dust assists the Moonbloods in fighting back Gaius’s troops. Reaching the peak of a volcano, Dust fights General Gaius in a lengthy battle. Eventually, Gaius is hanging from an outcrop over a pool of lava, where he tells Dust that Cassius is no longer part of him, then throws himself into the lava. Collapsed from exhaustion, Fidget tries to get Dust back up, but he refuses, and is consumed by the volcano. After the battle, Elder Gray Eyes gives a speech to the remaining Moonbloods, telling them that because of Dust’s sacrifice, they can now rebuild and live at peace with the rest of the world. During his dialogue, Ginger and Fidget witness the Blade of Ahrah rising out of the volcano and flying off, suggesting Dust may still be alive. > Development Aside from voice acting, soundtrack, and parts of the story, Dust was designed and programmed entirely by Dodrill. A self-taught illustrator and animator, he had previously done artwork and cinematics on Epic Games’ Jazz Jackrab- bit 2, and was in the process of creating an independent animated film, Elysian Tail. He assumed it would take three months to complete the game; it actually took over three-and-a-half years. He originally envisioned an 8-bit-style platformer for the game, similar to earlier entries in the Castlevania series. Inspirations for the final game came from such titles as Metroid, Golden Axe, and Ys I & II, which Dodrill cites as his favorite games.[ The game was originally targeted for the Xbox 360 Indie Games channel, but upon winning the 2009 Microsoft Dream.Build.Play Challenge, it was awarded a contract for an Xbox Live Arcade release. Dust: An Elysian Tail was originally expected to be released in late 2011, but was later delayed until summer 2012. 5 6 To Relive A Memory - http://www.furaffinity.net/user/nonnietuanione/ 7 The Half-Moon Tribe By: Tiberius Rings - https://tiberius-rings.sofurry.com/ #1 of The Half-Moon Tribe and our enemies were far to the north, but we were also friends with many neighbouring factions of different spe- Running. cies.

How SECOND LIFE AIDS AND ABETS CHILD PORNOGRAPHY Caroline Meek-Prieto' In 2002, Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition held that the possession, creation, or distribution of "virtual child pornography," pornography created entirely through computer graphics, was not a punishable offense because regualtion impermissibly infringed on the First Amendment right to free speech and did not harm real children. Only afew years after that decision, however, the Court's wisdom is being put to the test. A virtual world called Second Life, coupled with motion sensing technology, may provide a means for child pornographers to exploit real children while escaping detection. Second Life also provides a forum where users actively engage in sexual conduct with what appears to be a child.

  • Avatar... and the 'Sustainabullies' of Higher Education
    ARTICLE .103 Avatar... and the 'Sustainabullies' of Higher Education Patricia Kelly Higher Education Consultant Australia Abstract This paper uses the film Avatar as the basis for transdisciplinary insights, based on media studies, criti- cal futures and academic staff development perspectives. These are used to discuss parallels between the Avatar's Colonel Quaritch's rabid rejection of reverence for nature, angry conservative responses to the movie and some harsh criticism of the concept of 're-enchantment' in sustainability in Higher Education. Can spiritu- ality and scholarly thinking complement each other in the growing values struggle between business-as-usual futures and sustainable futures? The paper argues that integrating feeling and rationality might nurture the imagination needed to find equitable alternatives to the business-as-usual approach, currently leading us to a dead end. Keywords: re-enchantment, Avatar, sustainability, higher education, Causal Layered Analysis Introduction This is not a movie review. There are many good ones available online. Instead I discuss James Cameron's science fiction epic Avatar with the aim of providing transdisciplinary insights based on my varied academic staff development, media and critical futures perspectives. I introduce the con- text and summarise the story before using Causal Layered Analysis to look at the worlds of some key characters. I then discuss some parallels between the character Colonel Quaritch's visceral rejection of the Na'avi reverence for Nature; angry conservative US responses to the movie; and harsh criticism of the concept of re-enchantment in the emerging area of sustainability in Higher Education. Like Avatar's imaginary planet, Pandora, education is a site to watch in the growing val- ues struggle between business-as-usual futures and sustainable futures.

Smart Avatars in JackMOO Abstract Creation of compelling 3-dimensional, multi-user virtual worlds for education and training applications requires a high degree of realism in the appearance, interaction, and behavior of avatars within the scene. Our goal is to develop and/or adapt existing 3-dimensional technologies to provide training scenarios across the Internet in a form as close as possible to the appearance and interaction expected of live situations with human participants. We have produced a prototype system, JackMOO, which combines Jack, a virtual human system, and LambdaMOO, a multiuser, network-accessible, programmable, interactive server. Jack provides the visual realization of avatars and other objects. LambdaMOO provides the web-accessible communication, programability, and persistent object database. The combined JackMOO allows us to store the richer semantic information necessitated by the scope and range of human actions that an avatar must portray, and to express those actions in the form of imperative sentences.

  • Proposal for a Content Analysis of Equity Versus Efficiency In
    DISSERTATION HUMAN-TECHNOLOGY RELATIONALITY AND SELF-NETWORK ORGANIZATION: PLAYERS AND AVATARS IN WORLD OF WARCRAFT Submitted by Jaime Banks Department of Journalism and Technical Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2013 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Rosa Mikeal Martey Donna Rouner Joseph Champ Eric Aoki James Folkestad Copyright by Jaime Banks 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT HUMAN-TECHNOLOGY RELATIONALITY AND SELF-NETWORK ORGANIZATION: PLAYERS AND AVATARS IN WORLD OF WARCRAFT Massively multiplayer online roleplaying games, or MMOs, present an increasingly popular digital media experience whereby identity emerges as players contribute materially to play but contributions are governed by affordances and constraints of the game. Unique to this medium is the player’s ability to create and control a digital body – an avatar – to represent the Self in the immersive gameworld. Although notions of identity and the Self in digital games have been examined through a number of approaches, it is still unclear how the way one sees the avatar in the uncanny situation of having two bodies – one digital, one physical – contributes to a sense of Self in and around these games. Further, it is unclear how non-human objects contribute to human senses of Self. In that vein, this study examines two research questions: How do players have relationships with their avatars in a digital game? And how does the Self emerge in relation to those relationships? Toward understanding how nonhumans play a role in the emergence of the Self, this study approaches these questions from an actor-network perspective, examining how human, nonhuman, material, and semiotic objects exist in complex webs of relations and how those relations give rise to particular senses of Self in relation to particular gameplay situations.

Law and the Emotive Avatar Llewellyn Joseph Gibbons* ABSTRACT The barriers between fantasy and reality in virtual worlds are becoming increasingly permeable. There is a rhetorical need among some legal scholars to distinguish between a law of virtual worlds or concepts of net-sovereignty and the so-called real world. These metaphorical distinctions are unhelpful and confuse the issues as to exactly what is being regulated. A more productive line of analysis is to consider the avatar as an extension of the individual or an agent of the individual in virtual spaces and then to shift the focus of analysis away from the avatar and back to the individual because it is the potential negative effects that virtual behavior may have on real-world individuals that the law seeks to regulate. This leads to a question of when virtual behavior should be punished.
