Spawn This: Minecraft As a Virtual World Spawn This: Minecraft as a Virtual World (presented at Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference in Montreal, March 2015 and part of a longer essay) Lori Landay, Berklee College of Music à advance in Prezi http://prezi.com/41ifd5nd_erz/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share *à*In 2006, cover stories in Wired and Business Week hyped virtual worlds, speculating that “Virtual worlds may end up playing an even more sweeping role -- as far more intuitive portals into the vast resources of the entire Internet than today's World Wide Web.”1 Second Life and Open Sim grids still have a dedicated user base, as do habbo and Disney’s Club Penguin, but there.com, Google’s lively, facebook’s Cloud Party, and LEGO Universe are all defunct. The promise glimpsed in those virtual worlds has not materialized—or virtualized—in a mainstream way. Until now, with Minecraft. Although it does not look or at first seem like what proponents of virtual worlds have been waiting for, Minecraft is the breakthrough success for virtual worlds. To be sure, there are other transmedial imaginary worlds that are participatory and brimming with user-generated content. There have been player-created servers that mod a game in new narrative, gameplay, and social directions, and create vibrant communities. But no game or other transmedial IP has approached the size or the scope of Minecraft, and its players use Minecraft as a portal into disparate media experiences, including other franchises, to an unprecedented degree. In thinking through how what has emerged through the Minecraft phenomenon has redefined what a virtual world is, this presentation explores three interrelated questions: *à*What does it mean to consider Minecraft as a virtual world? Why has it succeeded as the breakthrough virtual world? How does transmedial experience factor into Minecraft as a virtual world? First, some information about Minecraft that helps us understand how a low-res looking video game spawned a virtual world. Minecraft has become more than a game, but it began as a game, coded by Markus Persson, known as Notch, in 2009. *à* Today, in March 2015, Minecraft is a global transmedial phenomenon, becoming the best-selling PC game ever on September 20, 2014 (http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Minecraft_Wiki), and holding the record for the most concurrent players on Steam, with 1 million people playing at the same time (http://www.vg247.com/2015/01/11/minecraft-1-million-concurrent-players/). There are over 200,000 Minecraft servers, and countless mods adding new objects and gameplay to the Minecraft interface. Players can access practically any theme, style, or imaginary world through Minecraft 1 Hof, Robert D. "My virtual life: A journey into a place in cyberspace where thousands of people have imaginary lives." 2 mods, maps, and texture packs. This alone distinguishes what players do with Minecraft from other transmedial worlds, and because children can do so much of this on their own, they have a high degree of agency to explore and experience the media that interests them, through the lens of Minecraft. Minecraft has some other staggering numbers that suggest its immense scope, including 19,265,652 purchased copies of the PC/Mac version of the game as of April 18, 2015 (https://minecraft.net/stats), and a 2.5 billion US $ purchase price for Mojang and all of its assets, including Minecraft, by Microsoft in September 2015, (http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/how-many-servers-are-there-in-minecraft-multiplayer/). Minecraft players tend to keep playing the game, with 36% having played for more than 12 months in a 2014 poll.2 Minecraft was the second most searched term on YouTube as of January 2015 (“music” was the first), http://www.vg247.com/2015/01/07/minecraft-is-a-massive-deal-on- youtube/) . There have been over 156 million views on YouTube of Captain Sparklez “Revenge” a Minecraft parody song and animation [PLAY] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPJUBQd- PNM ), and almost 3 million views of the behind the scenes video in which Captain Sparklez shows how he used the program Maya for the animation3 . *à* The official Minecraft handbook Collection published by Scholastic is the #1 bestseller in Children's Video & Electronic Games Books and #123 overall on amazon’s bestseller list. People have also used Minecraft for serious games purposes, including educators around the world through minecraft.edu and on their own. *à* In the art field, even the prestigious British Tate museum is using Minecraft. *à* There are currently three Tate Worlds, special maps that “present virtual environments inspired by artworks from Tate’s collection”, with four more planned (http://www.tate.org.uk/about/projects/tate-worlds-art-reimagined-minecraft). Minecraft is so popular because it is open and flexible. *à* Using a version of my Transmedial Imaginary Worlds Experience Model built in Minecraft to illustrate, [PLAY] within the game, a player can move easily along the structure spectrum between the rule-based play of ludus, choosing survival mode and perhaps pursuing the Ender Dragon and the open play of paidia (in creative mode). Minecraft also affords a range of engagement with the game, and players can also move freely along the affordance axis, to interpret, explore, combine, remix, transform, and invent, experiencing different kinds of agency. 2 http://www.newzoo.com/insights/analyzing-game-franchises-gamers-love-minecraft/ 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj_eaclFPWE 3 Yet Minecraft as a virtual world only originates with the game. *à* In this [PLAY] animation of my Transmedial Imaginary Worlds Experience Model, we can see how Minecraft begins on the interface platform as the official game known as the “vanilla” version and spreads across the interface platform in the maps, mods and servers that proliferate from it. Minecraft emerges as a virtual world as it bursts in all directions from the interface platform to the physical, screen, and page platforms, with players experiencing multiple ways of engaging with Minecraft and various degrees of structure. From when Persson started coding Minecraft in 2009 onward, he integrated community input, incorporating the players as co-creators in the spirit of the indie game developer online community TIGSource, of which he was a member. Instead of a single author, or a team of designers, programmers, and artists organized in a company, Minecraft has a community of creators, and the process of creating content is what grew Minecraft from a game into a virtual world. No other game is characterized to the same degree by what scholar Dennis Redmond terms *à* “audience-led production,” in which a digitally networked community of internet users in a technologically and transnationally diverse digital eco-system engaged in co-creating Minecraft. Redmond proposes, *à* “Minecraft is a commercial franchise wrapped around a core non- commercial fan community. While the fan community does not legally own the franchise, this lack of formal ownership is also irrelevant. The reason is that fans co-produce, co-regulate, and co- distribute the videogame in close concert with the commercial franchise.”4 Redmond analyzes Notch’s blog to show how he used social media, YouTube videos, email, chats, online polls, and message boards to seek out player feedback, to which he listened and often deferred. The player community does more than provide feedback, though, because Mojang crafted policy that allows users to modify the game code, and make and share mods, tools, and plugins, but only for non-commercial use. *à* The EULA is clearly written, and summarizes Mojang’s approach: Essentially the simple rule is do not make commercial use of anything we‘ve made unless specifically agreed by us, either in our brand and asset usage guidelines or under this EULA. 4 “The Videogame Commons Remakes the Transnational Studio” in Understanding Minecraft: Essays on Play, Community and Possibilities, Nate Garrelts, ed (2014-09-25). (Minedraft) (Kindle Locations 179-181). McFarland. Kindle Edition. 4 . Otherwise we are quite relaxed about what you do - in fact we really encourage you to do cool stuff - but just don‘t do those things that we say you can‘t. (https://account.mojang.com/documents/minecraft_eula) One of the results of this open approach to modding is that, beyond the Game player’s purchase, the wider phenomenon of Minecraft is not consistent, and the hundreds of thousands of servers and individual mods are not only often incompatible with each other, but do not constitute a coherent virtual world in the way that EVE Online, Second Life, Star Trek Online, or other MMOs do. As a player logs into different servers, installs mods, or uploads maps or texture packs, he or she can bring their name and customized skin if they have one, but that’s it.5 If the multitude of servers and single-player client-side games are not all part of one big networked, unified entity, then *à* how is Minecraft a virtual world? My answer lies in redefining what a virtual world has become in practice, and what it means to consider Minecraft as one. Mark Bell defines a virtual world as “A synchronous, persistent network of people, represented as avatars, facilitated by networked computers.”6 Minecraft, if we are talking about the game that is purchased, is not necessarily persistent or synchronous. There is Edward Castronova’s wider term, synthetic worlds, which he defines as “crafted places inside computers that are designed to accommodate large numbers of people.” Minecraft still doesn’t fit that term, either. Minecraft is not one unified world, but a confederation of single player and multiplayer experiences, some of which are persistent because they are hosted on servers, and some of which are client-side.

  • Navigating the Videogame
    From above, from below: navigating the videogame A thesis presented by Daniel Golding 228306 to The School of Culture and Communication in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in the field of Cultural Studies in the School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Supervisor: Dr. Fran Martin October 2008 ABSTRACT The study of videogames is still evolving. While many theorists have accurately described aspects of the medium, this thesis seeks to move the study of videogames away from previously formal approaches and towards a holistic method of engagement with the experience of playing videogames. Therefore, I propose that videogames are best conceptualised as navigable, spatial texts. This approach, based on Michel de Certeau’s concept of strategies and tactics, illuminates both the textual structure of videogames and the immediate experience of playing them. I also regard videogame space as paramount. My close analysis of Portal (Valve Corporation, 2007) demonstrates that a designer can choose to communicate rules and fiction, and attempt to influence the behaviour of players through strategies of space. Therefore, I aim to plot the relationship between designer and player through the power structures of the videogame, as conceived through this new lens. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv CHAPTER ONE: Introduction 1 AN EVOLVING FIELD 2 LUDOLOGY AND NARRATOLOGY 3 DEFINITIONS, AND THE NAVIGABLE TEXT 6 PLAYER EXPERIENCE AND VIDEOGAME SPACE 11 MARGINS OF DISCUSSION 13 CHAPTER TWO: The videogame from above: the designer as strategist 18 PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY 18 PORTAL AND THE STRATEGIES OF DESIGN 20 STRUCTURES OF POWER 27 RAILS 29 CHAPTER THREE: The videogame from below: the player as tactician 34 THE PLAYER AS NAVIGATOR 36 THE PLAYER AS SUBJECT 38 THE PLAYER AS BRICOLEUR 40 THE PLAYER AS GUERRILLA 43 CHAPTER FOUR: Conclusion 48 BIBLIOGRAPHY 50 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr.

  • Aternos Free Minecraft Server
    Aternos Free Minecraft Server Aternos Free Minecraft Server CLICK HERE TO ACCESS MINECRAFT GENERATOR Minecraft Servers are generally run on either a physical server or a virtual private server (VPS). A physical server hosted by the user and rented from third-party companies, ISPs, universities etc. or free services like NFOservers.com, Adverline.pl and VirtualRack.co.uk which are VPS's seems to be the most common way to host your Minecraft Server. A VPS or physical server is better for most, since it is more stable and customizable and can be set up to run on the same machine as the player's computer allowing for an instant jump in to a server when desired.", When you're playing Minecraft and it keeps crashing every time you try to pass level 10/11 or 12, then here's the perfect solution - Minecraft Hack . It's simple, it's easy to use and it doesn't require any other plugins/ add-ons. All you need to know is the level of your character and how much time you're willing to spend on mining resources and building your own world.", Minecraft Servers are great for those who want to play Minecraft with friends, as there is no limit on the number of players allowed and while there are limitations on the maximum number of villagers you can build, you can place practically anything. You will need a high-speed internet connection and a few more dedicated resources than your average computer user may have, so if you are running your server on a VPS or physical machine, it is recommended that you go with an account that offers reliable bandwidth with enough RAM and CPU to keep up with the demands of all players who are online at once.", The great thing about Minecraft is that it gives you unlimited freedom to do whatever you want.

  • Embrace the Unexpected: Yet Another Family Conversation
    © 2016 TSJLD & Authors ThaiSim Journal: TSJLD Vol. 1, No.1 (Jan-Jun 2016), 38 – 50 Learning Development (TSJLD) ISSN 2158-5539 http://www.thaisim.org/sgld/ Embrace the unexpected: Yet another family conversation Elizabeth Tipton Eastern Washington University, USA James Murff ArenaNet, USA Abstract This paper summarizes a long conversation between an educational game design mother and her entertainment game tester son that began with a discussion about bugs in video games. Along the way, it led to some interesting observations on emergent behavior and metagaming. Finally, this dialog wandered into experiences with emergent gameplay in the design and implementation of pedagogical simulations and games. The importance of good debriefing in the classroom was also underscored. Keywords: bugs; debriefing; designer-player interaction; emergent behavior, intentional emergent gameplay, metagaming, player agency Introduction: Working definitions of Gaming Simulation Four years ago, the authors made public during panel discussions at ABSEL and ISAGA their conversation on improving educational game design through an understanding of the problems commonly seen in during the testing and consumption of entertainment games. Those dialogues have continued to this day. What follows began over dinner one day when the topic was bugs in video games. 38 Embrace the unexpected: Yet another family conversation Tipton & Murff Bugs Bugs, harmless or otherwise, are a common part of software development. You can't predict every single outcome of a particular scenario, especially when the system is extremely complex. While test cases and extensive QA can help, games always ship with glitches ranging from the hilarious-but-harmless to the game- breaking. Some games ship with so many bugs that they are unplayable, but thoroughly entertaining to watch from the perspective of a horrible disaster playing out.

  • Queering Stories and Selves: Gamer Poop and Subversive Narrative Emergence
    Issue 9 May 2017 www.intensitiescultmedia.com Queering Stories and Selves: Gamer Poop and Subversive Narrative Emergence Lawrence May and Fraser McKissack University of Auckland Abstract Video games such as Mass Effect 3 (Electronic Arts, 2012), Skyrim (Bethesda Softworks, 2011) and Fallout 3 (Bethesda Softworks, 2008) have been praised for offering highly customisable and personalised ingame avatars, experiences and narrative flexibility. The humour in popular YouTube machinima series Gamer Poop playfully rejects the heteronormative and hypermasculine expectations that still appear inevitable in these seemingly open and inclusive gameworlds. Across Gamer Poop’s 49 videos, stable identifiers of race, gender, and sexuality are radically rewritten using post-production video editing and game modification to allow for intersexual character models, bisexual orgies, and breakdancing heroes—content not programmed into the original games. We discuss the potential for machinima videos to act as tools for negotiating emergent queer narra- tives. These emergent experiences are generated by players and re-inscribed onto the broader video game ‘text’, demonstrating the limitations of video game texts for identity-building activity. Gamer Poop takes advantage of emergence as the ‘primordial structure’ of games (Juul 2005: 73), and presents to the audience moments of emergent, queer narrative—what Henry Jenkins describes as stories that are ‘not pre-structured or pre-programmed, [instead] taking shape through the game play’ (Jenkins 2004: 128). These vulgar and sometimes puerile videos are a critical and playful intervention into the embedded textual meaning of Gam- er Poop’s chosen video games, and demonstrate that a latent representative potential exists in video game systems, rulesets, and game engines for emergent storytelling and identity-building activities.

  • The Relationship Between Survival Mechanics and Emergent Narrative
    The Relationship Between Survival Mechanics and Emergent Narrative Faculty of Arts Department of Game Design Author(s): Amanda Cohen and Maya Sidén Bachelor Thesis in Game Design, 15 hp Program: Game Design Supervisor(s): Magnus Johansson Examiner: Masaki Hayashi May, 2021 Abstract The Survival games genre is infamous for its lack of narrative. In this paper we look at the possibility of emerging narrative in open world survival sandbox games. The survival aspect of a game is heavily tied to specific survival-centric mechanics that are frequently occurring in the genre. These mechanics and systems can in and of themselves give way to an unwritten narrative for each individual player. By working with the concept of Narrative game mechanics, we interviewed a pool of people about their stories and narrative experiences in survival games. After analysing the results we found recurring patterns to indicate how certain types of survival-mechanics can lead to certain types of narrative situations. Key words: Emergent Narrative, Emergent Gameplay, Narrative Mechanics, Survival Mechanics, Sandbox Sammanfattning Spelgenren 'Survival games' (eller 'Överlevnadsspel') är ökänd för dess minimala fokus på narrativ (berättande). I detta arbete studerar vi de narrativa möjligheterna i 'open-world survival sandbox' spel. Överlevnadsaspekten i ett spel är tätt knutet till specifika spelmekanismer (survival mechanics) som existerar i alla former av Survival-spel. Dessa mekanismer, som delar i ett system, kan av sig själva skapa ett oplanerat narrativ för spelaren. Genom att arbeta med konceptet "Narrative Game Mechanics" intervjuade vi en grupp frivilliga respondenter om deras narrativa upplevelser av survival-spel. Efter att ha analyserat undrsökningsresultatet hittade vi mönster som visade hur vissa typer av "survival mechanics" leder till en viss typ av narrativa situationer.
