  • This Is the Title
    1 Welcome! If you’re here to learn about some art tools, you’ve come to the right place. While this talk does assume at least a basic understanding of the Unreal Engine, it’s really about the concepts behind these tools, not the exact implementation - So hopefully even non-Unreal users will be able to find some of this stuff helpful. First I’m going to do some quick introductions... 2 Hi. I’m Eric Anderson. I’m the Art Director at Cyan. 3 We are a small game development studio up in Spokane, Washington, and one of the oldest surviving independent studios in the industry. I’ve been with the company on and off for over 15 years. 4 Cyan is best known for the game Myst, which was released in 1993. In Myst, players find themselves trapped on an uninhabited - but visually lush island... ...surrounded by challenging puzzles - and are given little to no instruction on what to do - or where to go next. It was a hit. Myst quickly became the best selling computer game of the 20th century. 5 It was followed up a few years later by Riven. While Riven didn’t quite sell as well as Myst, it was acclaimed for its visual artistry - its rich story - and its immersive world. 6 I joined the company in 2000 to work on Uru… …Our ill-fated foray into Massively Multiplayer Online Games… …which was released in 2003 as a single player game, due to publisher cutbacks. 7 Followed shortly by Myst 5… …which was mostly built from the bones of Uru’s online content… …and sold about as well as one might expect.

  • From Simulation to Imitation
    SAGXXX10.1177/1046878114542316Simulation & Gamingde Castell et al. 542316research-article2014 Article Simulation & Gaming 2014, Vol. 45(3) 332 –355 From Simulation to Imitation: © 2014 SAGE Publications Reprints and permissions: Controllers, Corporeality, sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1046878114542316 and Mimetic Play sag.sagepub.com Suzanne de Castell1, Jennifer Jenson2, and Kurt Thumlert2 Abstract Background. We contend that a conceptual conflation of simulation and imitation persists at the heart of claims for the power of game-based simulations for learning. Recent changes in controller-technologies and gaming systems, we argue, make this conflation of concepts more readily apparent, and its significant educational implications more evident. Aim. This article examines the evolution in controller technologies of imitation that support players’ embodied competence, rather than players’ ability to simulate such competence. Digital gameplay undergoes an epistemological shift when player and game interactions are no longer restricted to simulations of actions on a screen, but instead support embodied imitation as a central element of gameplay. We interrogate the distinctive meanings and affordances of simulation and imitation and offer a critical conceptual strategy for refining, and indeed redefining, what counts as learning in and from digital games. Method. We draw upon actor-network theory to identify what is educationally significant about the digitally mediated learning ecologies enabled by imitation- based gaming consoles and controllers. Actor-network theory helps us discern relations between human actors and technical artifacts, illuminating the complex inter-dependencies and inter-actions of the socio-technical support networks too long overlooked in androcentric theories of human action and cognitive psychology. 1University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada 2York University, Canada Corresponding Author: Suzanne de Castell, Faculty of Education, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 11 Simcoe St.

  • IGDA Online Games White Paper Full Version
    IGDA Online Games White Paper Full Version Presented at the Game Developers Conference 2002 Created by the IGDA Online Games Committee Alex Jarett, President, Broadband Entertainment Group, Chairman Jon Estanislao, Manager, Media & Entertainment Strategy, Accenture, Vice-Chairman FOREWORD With the rising use of the Internet, the commercial success of certain massively multiplayer games (e.g., Asheron’s Call, EverQuest, and Ultima Online), the ubiquitous availability of parlor and arcade games on “free” game sites, the widespread use of matching services for multiplayer games, and the constant positioning by the console makers for future online play, it is apparent that online games are here to stay and there is a long term opportunity for the industry. What is not so obvious is how the independent developer can take advantage of this opportunity. For the two years prior to starting this project, I had the opportunity to host several roundtables at the GDC discussing the opportunities and future of online games. While the excitement was there, it was hard not to notice an obvious trend. It seemed like four out of five independent developers I met were working on the next great “massively multiplayer” game that they hoped to sell to some lucky publisher. I couldn’t help but see the problem with this trend. I knew from talking with folks that these games cost a LOT of money to make, and the reality is that only a few publishers and developers will work on these projects. So where was the opportunity for the rest of the developers? As I spoke to people at the roundtables, it became apparent that there was a void of baseline information in this segment.

  • 052 – Old Puzzle Videogames — 3/4
    052 – Old Puzzle videogames — 3/4 Here, a succinct review of different types of puzzle videogames published until the year 2000. Not in chronological order. Single character control ● Eggerland (Series) – 1985–2000 Several puzzle games developed first for MSX computer systems and later for Windows : - Eggerland Mystery - Eggerland 2 - Eggerland: Revival of the Labyrinth - Eggerland: Departure to Creation - Adventures of Lolo - Adventures of Lolo 2 - Adventures of Lolo 3 - Adventures of Lolo (Game Boy) - Eggerland for Windows 95. The hero of most games is Lolo, a blue, spherical character with eyes, arms and legs. The story mainly deals with King Egger, the villain, capturing princess Lala, who is similar to Lolo, only colored pink or red, and wearing a bow. Lolo must rescue Lala by travelling through Egger's domain and solving the puzzle rooms laid out before him. His only weapon is a Magic Shot, but he can gain some powers in the way. The player must guide Lolo through a room of 11×11 tiles and have Lolo collect all of the Heart Framers ther. Doing so opens up a Jewel Box, which contains an item. Successfully acquiring the contents of the Jewel Box will clear the room of all monsters and open the way (full of obstacles) to the next room. ● Adventures of Lolo – 1989 A puzzle compilation video game (related to Eggerland) released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Wii's and Wii U's Virtual Console and Nintendo Switch Online's Entertainment System. The player assumes the role of Lolo and attempts to rescue Old Puzzle videogames — 3/4 ● Page 1 of 14 Princess Lala, who has been kidnapped by the evil King Egger.

  • Framework for Developing Interactive 360-Degree Video Adventure Games
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO Framework for Developing Interactive 360-Degree Video Adventure Games Francisco Pinho Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação Supervisor: Rui Rodrigues Co-Supervisor: Rui Nóbrega July 20, 2019 Framework for Developing Interactive 360-Degree Video Adventure Games Francisco Pinho Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação July 20, 2019 Abstract Making game environments, be it in 2D or 3D is an extremely laborious and skill intensive task. 360o content is a visual medium known for its increased spatial immersion and potential enhance- ment of the users’ emotional response to content [EEW18]. The possibility of using interactive 360o video or images as the game environments will allow talent to invest their creativity into other crucial aspects of game design such as narrative, sound and game mechanics. Adventure games belong in a diverse genre comprising many different types of experiences and sub-genres, from text-based adventures to puzzle-oriented point-and-click games, a cinematic experience with player choices or even a mixture of crime investigation with courtroom drama. In essence, games with simpler means of user input and a bigger focus on interactive narratives and storytelling - a very relevant field at the cutting edge of virtual reality research [RTGG17]. Further- more these games feature entirely non reflex based mechanics making the genre of "Adventure" the most fitting for integration with 360-degree visual media. This dissertation presents a framework that will allow the streamlining of the creative process of these experiences by giving creators the tools to make a fully-fledged virtual reality adventure game with 360 visual media as an interactive setting.
