  • Virtual Worlds: Relationship Between Real Life and Experience in Second Life Worlds: Relation Between Real Life and Experience in Second Life
    Virtual Worlds: Relationship Between Real Life and Experience in Second Life Worlds: Relation Between Real Life and Experience in Second Life (SNA) in OnlineCourses Scott P. Anstadt, Shannon Bradley, Ashley Burnette, and Lesley L. Medley Florida Gulf Coast University, USA Abstract Due to the unique applications of virtual reality in many modern contexts, Second Life (SL) offers inimitable opportunities for research and exploration and experiential learning as part of a distance learning curriculum assignment. A review of current research regarding SL examined real world social influences in online interactions and what the effects on users may be. This aids students in understanding the social constructionist perceptions and worldview of those persons they may serve in social services. This suggests the importance of developing an understanding of the relationship between users’ real life (RL) and their SL. Some research has begun to reveal the effectiveness of telecommunication and computer simulation with certain clients in the fields of mental health and social work, yet there is a lack of sufficient research done within the context of virtual worlds. The current study surveyed users of several educationally and health focused SIMS (simulations) as to what motivates their SL and RL interactions. The data explores associations between users’ RL and their SL in several areas,potentially addressing the future role of educating social work students regarding research methodology in online virtual reality interactions. Implications for social work are discussed including engaging clients using incentives for social participation built into the SL milieu. Keywords: Social work; virtual world; Second Life Virtual Worlds : Relationship Between Real Life and Experience in Second Life Anstadt, Bradley, Burnette, and Medley Introduction Multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) are perceptual and interactive simulated worlds in which persons might discover lifestyles, traditions, and engagement in interactive conversations in a role-playing medium.

  • A Literature Review Abstract Using the Alternate Reality Game (ARG)
    Alternate Reality Game in Education: A Literature Review Xiao Hu1 Hongzhi Zhang Zane Ma Rhea Faculty of Education, Monash University, Melbourne Abstract Using the Alternate Reality Game (ARG) game type to improve non-game products is more and more popular in the 21st century. However, as an important field of ARG implementation, the usage of ARG in education area is still at its early stage. This paper seeks to provide an overview of current research about the implementation of ARG in the educational field, as well as make a general conclusion of how ARG techniques can benefit the education context. The authors undertook a literature review that systematically examined the general development trend of educational ARG implementation from the perspectives of timeline and by field of education. By bringing together previously separate and disparate literature, this paper contributes to providing new understanding of this emergent area of gamification research. In the final section, we discuss our findings and propose some challenges to be faced in the future for gamificatiojn in general and for the AGR game type in particular. Key words Alternate Reality Game (ARG), educational ARG, gamification Introduction Gamification is a newly emerging area of academic research. The term first appears in 2008, and then shows a widespread adoption after 2012 (Dicheva et al., 2015). As a newly emerging research topic, the development of gamification theories are still occurring. In fields such as business, education, and public service, gamification is being regarded as an effective tool to reinforce participants’ motivation, and to improve productivity. However, as the development of gamification is still in its infancy, it is necessary for researchers to have an awareness of the larger picture of the evolution of gamification.

  • RIT Video Game Production Podcast Transcript.Pdf
    NARRATOR: So, you like playing video games so much that you think you’d like a career in making them. But what does a video game producer do? In this episode of Intersections: The RIT Podcast, John Blau, a fourth-year game design and development major, talks with John Veneron, digital games hub associate at RIT’s MAGIC Spell Studios, about their experiences in video game production and how RIT’s MAGIC Center is helping student developers publish their work. JOHN BLAU: I didn’t know that I wanted to go into game production. I didn’t even know that I wanted to go into games when I was applying to universities. I came in to RIT as a computer science major. I found very Quickly that computer science was a lot of fun for me. It provided a lot of really interesting ways to solve problems. And it also gave me a really strong technical background – at least that one semester that I actually spent in it. But I found that I wanted to interact with people a lot more. I found that I liked exposing the human side of computers and the human side of our digital media a lot more. And I thought that the games program was a way for me to start expressing those things. So I spent one semester in computer science and then I was like, okay. I went to a lot of talks, actually. I saw there were a lot of people from Amazon Game Studios that came in. There were some people from Epic who came in.

    Game Production and Role of Game Producer Case study: Research on demographic of gamers in Hanoi, Vietnam Phan Nguyen Bachelor’s Thesis ___. ___. ______ ________________________________ Valitse kohde. SAVONIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES THESIS Abstract Field of Study Social Sciences, Business and Administration Degree Programme Degree Programme in International Business Author(s) Phan Nguyen Title of Thesis Game Production and Role of Game Producer Date 12/11/2014 Pages/Appendices 43 + 2 Supervisor(s) Leo Suomela Client Organisation/Partners Abstract This thesis was intended to serve as a guideline on how to manage a video game development process as a producer. The study includes basic knowledge of game production process, focusing more on managing the project as a whole, rather than reaching specific technical aspects. The production methodology described here is a combination of several methods used by most studios in the game industry. Additionally, understanding of game producer’s roles and characteristics was also studied to give author a “mental map” to apply in future career. The goal was to accomplish the most efficient and inspired production process as possible which could be utilized in most cases. Finally, the demographic of gamers in Hanoi – capital of Vietnam – was studied and analyzed, for the purpose of drawing a conclusion on whether Hanoi would be a potential environment for new startup game development studio in the future. The investigation method carried out was quanti- tative research; data was collected from online questionnaire and physical handouts. The theoretical part of this study primarily relied on Heather M. Chandler’s knowledge on game production, through the book The Game Production Handbook.
