  • Meaningful Choice As Expression of Creativity in Gameplay
    Meaningful Choice as Expression of Creativity in Gameplay A Preliminary Typology of Creative Gameplay in Videogames Abstract Gamification guru Yu-Kai Chou positions creativity as the ultimate motivational drive as it both addresses intrinsic motivation as well as positive emotions. Creativity and play have long been linked together and, despite many attempts to grasp them, have maintained elusive concept because their expressions have an enormous variety. Yet, creative gameplay has rarely been analyzed as a whole, research often lingering on a single variant of it, mostly tangible player production in videogames. This thesis offers a framework based on Chou’s concept of meaningful choices for identifying varieties of creative gameplay and offers a preliminary typology of creative gameplay in videogames.

ESport is growing internationally, mainly due to the easy access to technology, but also as a response to access to different competitions on the part of the general public, and especially youth. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect that eSport sponsorship has on the health of a brand sponsoring a competition. The field work was carried out by means of a questionnaire distributed among the Internet population, differentiating between children in the age bracket 8 and 14 years and youth between 15 and 25 years, with a total of 1,619 responses. The questionnaire measured the health of the brand through analysing the variables related to the purchase funnel and the brand’s advertising campaigns. The results suggest that sponsoring an eSports league has positive effects on the brand. The study also contributes some findings that are applicable to managers in the area of marketing, suggesting some future related lines of research.

Commenter Information Mitchell Stoltz Kendra Albert Corynne McSherry (203) 424-0382 Kit Walsh [email protected] Electronic Frontier Foundation 815 Eddy St San Francisco, CA 94109 (415) 436-9333 [email protected] The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a member-supported, nonprofit public interest organization devoted to maintaining the traditional balance that copyright law strikes between the interests of copyright owners and the interests of the public. Founded in 1990, EFF represents over 25,000 dues-paying members, including consumers, hobbyists, artists, writers, computer programmers, entrepreneurs, students, teachers, and researchers, who are united in their reliance on a balanced copyright system that ensures adequate incentives for creative work while facilitating innovation and broad access to information in the digital age. In filing these reply comments, EFF represents the interests of gaming communities, archivists, and researchers who seek to preserve the functionality of video games abandoned by their manufacturers. 2. Proposed Class Addressed Proposed Class 23: Abandoned Software—video games requiring server communication Literary works in the form of computer programs, where circumvention is undertaken for the purpose of restoring access to single-player or multiplayer video gaming on consoles, personal computers or personal handheld gaming devices when the developer and its agents have ceased to support such gaming. We propose an exemption to 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1) for users who wish to modify lawfully acquired copies of computer programs for the purpose of continuing to play videogames that are no longer supported by the developer, and that require communication with a server.

  • Voice Games: the History of Voice Interaction in Digital Games
    Teemu Kiiski Voice Games: The History of Voice Interaction in Digital Games Bachelor of Business Administration Game Development Studies Spring 2020 Abstract Author(s): Kiiski Teemu Title of the Publication: Voice Games: The History of Voice Interaction in Digital Games Degree Title: Bachelor of Business Administration, Game Development Studies Keywords: voice games, digital games, video games, speech recognition, voice commands, voice interac- tion This thesis was commissioned by Doppio Games, a Lisbon-based game studio that makes con- versational voice games for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Doppio has released games such as The Vortex (2018) and The 3% Challenge (2019). In recent years, voice interaction with computers has become part of everyday life. However, despite the fact that voice interaction mechanics have been used in games for several decades, the category of voice interaction games, or voice games in short, has remained relatively ob- scure. The purpose of the study was to research the history of voice interaction in digital games. The objective of this thesis is to describe a chronological history for voice games through a plat- form-focused approach while highlighting different design approaches to voice interaction. Research findings point out that voice interaction has been experimented with in commercially published games and game systems starting from the 1980s. Games featuring voice interaction have appeared in waves, typically as a reaction to features made possible by new hardware. During the past decade, the field has become more fragmented. Voice games are now available on platforms such as mobile devices and virtual assistants. Similarly, traditional platforms such as consoles are keeping up by integrating more voice interaction features.
