    THESIS WONDER WOMEN IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD: HOW FEMALE SHEPARD REDEFINED THE FEMALE HERO ARCHETYPE IN VIDEO GAMES Submitted by Chelsea McHenry Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2021 Master’s Committee: Advisor: David Scott Diffrient Nicholas Marx Rosa Mikeal Martey Copyright by Chelsea Rebecca McHenry 2021 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT WONDER WOMEN IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD: HOW FEMALE SHEPARD REDEFINED THE FEMALE HERO ARCHETYPE IN VIDEO GAMES AAA video game protagonists typically represent the white, heterosexual male. While standards are changing, there remains a considerable discrepancy between the number of male and female protagonists available. This study intends to examine how video game producers can move forward with creating resonant AAA protagonists by examining one of the first protagonists who presented unforeseen equality. This thesis explores the character of female Shepard from BioWare’s video game series Mass Effect (2007-2012) and what elements made her a fan favorite and marketable. Using Jim Bizzochi’s video game narrative framework and Shunsuke Nozawa’s concept of ensoulment related to voice work, this thesis argues that FemShep redefined the video game landscape. She served to create her own space as a character and not merely a gender-flipped construct of her male counterpart. By examining how she is constructed and handled in-game, the conclusion suggests that when the developmental focus is on creating the character, there is a market for strong heroes who are also female. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT …………………………………………………………………………….………...ii CHAPTER I – INTRODUCTION………………………….………….…………………………1 CHAPTER II – MOLDING THE HERO FROM CODE...………………………………………22 CHAPTER III – THE MOST PERFECT INSTRUMENT…...………………………………….54 CHAPTER IV – AN END OF A JOURNEY IS A BEGINNING OF ANOTHER ………...…...84 BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………………………………………………………..94 iii CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION – LEGACIES OF HEROES I will always remember June 9, 2014.

  • Boisvert-Storey-Sony Case Brief
    Storey C204 Summer 2014 Case Study BE MOVED SITUATION Sony Corporation is a 68-year old multinational based in Tokyo. In 2012, the tech giant employed 173,000 people, with corporate headquarters in Japan, Europe, and America. In May 2014, the company was down to 146,300, cutting 26,700 as part of CEO Kaz Hirai’s “One Sony” plan. Recently, the firm eVen sold former office buildings in Tokyo for $156 million (Inagaki). This followed a similar $1.2 billion sale in 2013. After seVeral years of losses, Sony’s situation appears critical. In the last fiscal year, the company lost $1.25 billion. EVen the gaming diVision, where the Playstation console family (PS2, PS3, PS4) is projected to sell 17 million units this year, lost $78 million (Quarterly Results). There are many causes: Sony’s jettisoning of its PC brand Vaio, the poor performance and planned spinoff of Sony’s teleVision diVision, PS4 launch and marketing costs, the struggling PSVita, R&D costs for Sony’s Project Morpheus, and the fluctuation of exchange rate markets. For the current year, Sony is projecting a $489 million loss. How sustainable is Sony’s current business model? Will the success of the PS4 lead to renewed profitability for the games diVision and the company as a whole? Perhaps opportunities in new markets can spark a turn-around. The company’s core businesses are electronic entertainment (Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment, and Sony Pictures Entertainment) and hardware (Sony Mobile Communications and Sony Electronics). Though it also dabbles in financial serVices, publishing, and medical imaging, electronics represents roughly two-thirds of the corporation’s reVenue (Sony Annual Report 2011, 2013).

BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Master of Arts thesis abstract ! Author Heli Salomaa Title of thesis Video Games and Costume Art - digitalizing analogue methods of costume design Department Department of Film, Television and Scenography Year 2018 Number of pages 100 Language English Degree programme Master's Degree Programme in Design for Theatre, Film and Television, Major in Costume Design Abstract This thesis explores ways of integrating a costume professional to the character art team in the game industry. The research suggests, that integrating costume knowledge into the character design pipeline increases the storytelling value of the characters and provides tools for the narrative. The exploration of integrating a costume professional into game character creation as a process is still rare and little information of costume in games and experiences in transferring an analogue character building skillset into a digital one can be found, therefore this research was generated to provide knowledge on the subject. The research's main emphasis is on immersion-driven AAA-games that employ 3D-graphics and human characters and are either photorealistic or represent stylized realism. Technology for depicting reality is advancing and digital industries have become aware of the extensive skills required to depict increasingly realistic worlds.

  • Innovation in the Video Game Industry: the Role of Nintendo
    Department of Business and Management Course of Managerial Decision Making Innovation in the video game industry: the role of Nintendo Prof. Luigi Marengo Prof. Luca De Benedictis SUPERVISOR CO-SUPERVISOR Fulvio Nicolamaria ID No.705511 CANDIDATE Academic Year 2019/2020 To those who belong to my past, that have made me what I am and to those who belong to my present, who give me the strength to advance 2 Foreword Writing a paper with the gaming industry as one of the main themes may seem, in the eyes of the reader that is not properly involved in the subject, as something atypical and far from the academic conception of what should be debated in a thesis. However, in a work that concerns Economics, even an industry dedicated solely to entertainment like that one of video game can be an interesting challenge. Moreover, each thesis should aim to develop researches on new topics and to process the results. What better way to do this if not by exploring overlooked fields of research? The idea of a work involving Nintendo company as the main topic was among the possible research options, and choosing it as the theme to conclude the Master Degree was the goal I had proposed to myself for a long time. The involvement of the subject of innovation comes from the belief of its importance; since these two themes, innovation and Nintendo, could be easily combined, it was natural to create this work in some way dual. Making available to any reader topics so far from usual ones, without sacrificing the academic character of the paper, was both a challenge and a target.
