  • 364 Gaminguistics: Proposing a Framework on The
    Journal of Social Studies Education Research Sosyal Bilgiler Eğitimi Araştırmaları Dergisi 2019:10 (3),364-386 www.jsser.org Gaminguistics: Proposing a Framework on the Communication of Video Game Avatars Giyoto Giyoto1, SF. Luthfie Arguby Purnomo2, Lilik Untari3, SF. Lukfianka Sanjaya Purnama4 & Nur Asiyah5 Abstract This study attempts to construct a communication framework of video game avatars. Employing Aarseth’s textonomy, Rehak’s avatar’s life cycle, and Lury’s prosthetic culture avatar’s theories as the basis of analysis on fifty-five purposively selected games, this study proposes ACTION (Avatars, Communicators, Transmissions, Instruments, Orientations and Navigations). Avatars, borrowing Aarseth’s terms, are classifiable into interpretive, explorative, configurative, and textonic with four systems and sub classifications for each type. Communicators, referring to the participants involved in the communication with the avatars and their relationship, are classifiable into unipolar, bipolar, tripolar, quadripolar, and pentapolar. Transmissions, the ways in which communication is transmitted, are classifiable into restrictive verbal and restrictive non-verbal. Instruments, the graphical embodiment of communications, are realized into dialogue boxes, non-dialogue boxes, logs, expressions, movements and emoticons. Orientations, the methods the game spatiality employs to direct the movement of the avatars, are classifiable into dictative and non-dictative. Navigations, the strategies avatars perform regarding with the information saving system of the games, are classifiable into experimental and non-experimental. Departing from this ACTION, analysts are able to employ this formula as an approach to reveal how the avatars utilize their own ‘linguistics’ to communicate, out of the linguistics benefited by humans. Keywords: framework of communication, game avatars, game studies, video games, prosthetic culture.

  • A Conceptual Model for Video Games and Interactive Media
    A Conceptual Model for Video Games and Interactive Media Jacob Jett Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 E Daniel St, Champaign, IL 61820 +1.217.244.2164 [email protected] Simone Sacchi Center for Digital Research and Scholarship, Columbia University 201 Lehman Library, International Affairs Building, 420 West 118th Street, New York, NY 10027 +1.212.851.7338 [email protected] Jin Ha Lee Information School, University of Washington Mary Gates Hall, Suite 370, Seattle WA 98195 +1.206.685.0153 [email protected] Rachel Ivy Clarke Information School, University of Washington Mary Gates Hall, Suite 370, Seattle WA 98195 +1.206.685.0153 [email protected] ABSTRACT In this article, we describe a conceptual model for video games and interactive media. Existing conceptual models such as the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) are not adequate to represent the unique descriptive attributes, levels of variance, and relationships among video games. Previous video game-specific models tend to focus on the development of video games and their technical aspects. Our model instead attempts to reflect how users such as game players, collectors, and scholars understand video games and the relationships among them. We specifically consider use cases of gamers, with future intentions of using this conceptual model as a foundation for developing a union catalog for various libraries and museums. In the process of developing the model, we encountered many challenges, including conceptual overlap with and divergence from FRBR, entity scoping, complex relationships among entities, and the question of how to model additional content for game expansion.

  • Exploring Player Roles and Role Affordance in Video Games1 In
    1 “Select the Type of Experience You Would Like to Have”: Exploring Player Roles and Role Affordance in Video Games1 In the conclusion to Play Between Worlds, T.L. Taylor tells game designers and critics, “[r]ather than simply being frustrated about players who do not play a game ‘right’ or who ‘mess up’ otherwise perfect systems . we need to take seriously the range of interventions that occur and why” they occur when players engage with video games (158-59). In other words, it would be a mistake to focus our attention on game systems and possibility spaces while ignoring or disparaging player agency. Even just within the genre of role-playing games (RPGs, referring in this essay only to the video game variety, though the genre sprang from and still thrives in other media), the wide variety of available experiences has spawned communities of players who fiercely advocate for their favorite games and playstyles.2 To date, analysis of these diverse game experiences has primarily focused on genres, player types, or possibility spaces, approaches that have all demonstrated their value to game criticism and design. In this essay, however, I argue that these approaches should be supplemented with an analysis of the roles players assume in relation to games (and to their communities and storyworlds). Analysis of player roles—and of the dynamics of role affordance involving designers as well as players—helps bridge the gap between existing analyses of player types and possibility spaces. Player types analysis has tended to focus on player identities
