  • Master Thesis Project Artificial Intelligence Adaptation in Video
    Master Thesis Project Artificial Intelligence Adaptation in Video Games Author: Anastasiia Zhadan Supervisor: Aris Alissandrakis Examiner: Welf Löwe Reader: Narges Khakpour Semester: VT 2018 Course Code: 4DV50E Subject: Computer Science Abstract One of the most important features of a (computer) game that makes it mem- orable is an ability to bring a sense of engagement. This can be achieved in numerous ways, but the most major part is a challenge, often provided by in-game enemies and their ability to adapt towards the human player. How- ever, adaptability is not very common in games. Throughout this thesis work, aspects of the game control systems that can be improved in order to be adapt- able were studied. Based on the results gained from the study of the literature related to artificial intelligence in games, a classification of games was de- veloped for grouping the games by the complexity of the control systems and their ability to adapt different aspects of enemies behavior including individual and group behavior. It appeared that only 33% of the games can not be con- sidered adaptable. This classification was then used to analyze the popularity of games regarding their challenge complexity. Analysis revealed that simple, familiar behavior is more welcomed by players. However, highly adaptable games have got competitively high scores and excellent reviews from game critics and reviewers, proving that adaptability in games deserves further re- search. Keywords: artificial intelligence in games, adaptability in games, non-player character adaptation, challenge Preface Computer games have become an interest for me not so long ago, but since then they have turned almost into a true passion.

  • 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.

    HOW TO PLAY WITH MAPS by Ross Thorn Department of Geography, UW-Madison A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geographic Information Science and Cartography) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–MADISON 2018 i Acknowledgments I have so many people to thank for helping me through the process of creating this thesis and my personal development throughout my time at UW-Madison. First, I would like to thank my advisor Rob Roth for supporting this seemingly crazy project and working with me despite his limited knowledge about games released after 1998. Your words of encouragement and excitement for this project were invaluable to keep this project moving. I also want to thank my ‘second advisor’ Ian Muehlenhaus for not only offering expert guidance in cartography, but also your addictive passion for games and their connection to maps. You provided endless inspiration and this research would not have been possible without your support and enthusiasm. I would like to thank Leanne Abraham and Alicia Iverson for reveling and commiserating with me through the ups and downs of grad school. You both are incredibly inspirational to me and I look forward to seeing the amazing things that you will undoubtedly accomplish in life. I would also like to thank Meghan Kelly, Nick Lally, Daniel Huffman, and Tanya Buckingham for creating a supportive and fun atmosphere in the Cartography Lab. I could not have succeeded without your encouragement and reminder that we all deserve to be here even if we feel inadequate. You made my academic experience unforgettable and I love you all.

GENDER GAMES: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF GENDER PORTRAYALS IN MODERN, NARRA- TIVE VIDEO GAMES by JARED FRIEDBERG Under the Direction of Dr. Wendy Simonds ABSTRACT Video games are a multi-billion dollar industry; 67% of households in the United States have at least one game player. The considerable reach of this medium makes it crucial to assess the messages that audiences are taking away concerning gender in these games. In this content analysis, I investigate the representation of binary gender in the narratives of modern video games from the perspective of cultiva- tion theory. Ten popular games from 2007 through 2013 are selected for this investigation. The character- istics of each game’s main character are evaluated in the context of the narrative to uncover emergent trends, tropes, and themes over the course of gameplay. Men outnumber women in protagonist roles, and women serve as catalysts for the central conflicts throughout the narrative.

  • An Ecocritical Framework for Digital Game History
    Author: Backe, Hans-Joachim Title: Within the Mainstream: An Ecocritical Framework for Digital Game History Within the Mainstream: An Ecocritical Framework for Digital Game History Hans-Joachim Backe IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark [email protected] Abstract Ecocriticism of digital games has so far engaged with a rather small corpus of examples, often prescriptively and with a quite limited methodological toolkit. This essay systematizes and historicizes some of these commonly found limitations of past research and proposes methods for a more historically and generically diverse exploration of ecological thinking vis-à-vis digital games. The majority of discussions of games from an ecocritical perspective has applied concepts and frameworks borrowed from literature and film studies, thus privileging surface semiotics over game mechanics. More methodically aware studies have oriented themselves toward the popular framework of procedural rhetoric (Bogost 2007), resulting both in a selection bias towards serious games and an author-centric, intentionalist slant inherent in the approach. In general, the discussion revolves around a small number of games with apparent ecocritical potential, such as Myst (Cyan 1993) or Farmville (Zynga 2009), resulting in a selective, a-historic and therefore distorted discussion of ecology in the diverse medium of digital games. This essay discusses strategies for dealing with a larger corpus of digital games through a descriptive matrix for identifying and analyzing the ecological dimension of digital games. It proposes an extension of the ecocritical toolkit by including a more user-centered, ethics-based theoretical framework based on Sicart’s Ethics of Computer Games (2009). The gain of engaging with representation and simulation of the natural environment in mainstream computer game history will be demonstrated in an analysis of two paradigmatic games.
