The 50 Greatest Video Games of All Time (2006). The videogame role-playing game (RPG, as it is generally known as a genre), has been central to the Square Enix Co., Ltd. game development company since the release in 1987 of Final Fantasy for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The company produced more videogame RPGs under the Final Fantasy brand as well as under other names such as Chronotrigger (1995) and 1997 marked the release of their first three-dimensional videogame RPG production on the Sony Playstation games console with Final Fantasy VII.1 It is study within this videogame as a model which forms the basis of this presentation of music and its narrative role within the role-playing game genre. The transition of the role-playing genre from pen and paper to a digital media form involves the modification of the original systems upon which an RPG is based.

    Ludic Zombies: An Examination of Zombieism in Games Hans-Joachim Backe Center for Computer Games Research IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark [email protected] Espen Aarseth Center for Computer Games Research IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark [email protected] ABSTRACT Zombies have become ubiquitous in recent years in all media, including digital games. Zombies have no soul or consciousness, and as completely alien, post-human Other, they seem like the perfect game opponent. Yet their portrayal is always politically charged, as they have historically been used as an allegory for slavery, poverty, and consumerism, and may be read as stand-ins for threatening but too human Others of unwanted class, ethnicity of political opinion. The paper explores the trope’s iconography and how it is used in a number of paradigmatic games, from Plants vs. Zombies and Call of Duty to the Resident Evil series, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3 (the Tenpenny Tower quests) and DayZ. Through theses comparative analyses, the paper demonstrates the range of usages of zombies in games, ranging from the facile use of a (seemingly) completely deindividuated humanoid for entertainment purposes to politically aware ludifications of the zombie’s allegorical dimension. Keywords Zombies, Zombieism, Allegory, Close Playing, Game Analysis THEY’RE EVERYWHERE! Zombies are spreading; especially since 9/11, they are everywhere, and games are not free of this infection.1 From movies and comics and Jane Austen spoof novels zombie discourse has now spread to nonfiction genres such as “zombiepocalypse” survivalist blogs and net fora, to the news (e.g. the Miami “zombie attack” in 2012).

    ABSTRACT LOHMEYER, EDWIN LLOYD. Unstable Aesthetics

    ABSTRACT LOHMEYER, EDWIN LLOYD. Unstable Aesthetics: The Game Engine and Art Modifications (Under the direction of Dr. Andrew Johnston). This dissertation examines episodes in the history of video game modding between 1995 and 2010, situated around the introduction of the game engine as a software framework for developing three-dimensional gamespaces. These modifications made to existing software and hardware were an aesthetic practice used by programmers and artists to explore the relationship between abstraction, the materiality of game systems, and our phenomenal engagement with digital media. The contemporary artists that I highlight—JODI, Cory Arcangel, Orhan Kipcak, Julian Oliver, and Tom Betts—gravitated toward modding because it allowed them to unveil the technical processes of the engine underneath layers of the game’s familiar interface, in turn, recalibrating conventional play into sensual experiences of difference, uncertainty, and the new. From an engagement with abstract forms, they employed modding techniques to articulate new modes of aesthetic participation through an affective encounter with altered game systems. Furthermore, they used abstraction, the very strangeness of the mod’s formal elements, to reveal our habitual interactions with video games by destabilizing conventional gamespaces through sensory modalities of apperception and proprioception. In considering the imbrication of technics and aesthetics in game engines, this work aims to resituate modding practices within a dynamic and more inclusive understanding

    Uma Perspectiva Musicológica Sobre a Formação Da Categoria Ciberpunk Na Música Para Audiovisuais – Entre 1982 E 2017

    Uma perspectiva musicológica sobre a formação da categoria ciberpunk na música para audiovisuais – entre 1982 e 2017 André Filipe Cecília Malhado Dissertação de Mestrado em Ciências Musicais Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica Setembro de 2019 I Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Musicais – Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica, realizada sob a orientação científica da Professora Doutora Paula Gomes Ribeiro. II Às duas mulheres da minha vida que permanecem no ciberespaço do meu pensamento: Sara e Maria de Lourdes E aos dois homens da minha vida com quem conecto no meu quotidiano: Joaquim e Ricardo III Agradecimentos Mesmo tratando-se de um estudo de musicologia histórica, é preciso destacar que o meu objecto, problemática, e uma componente muito substancial do método foram direccionados para a sociologia. Por essa razão, o tema desta dissertação só foi possível porque o fenómeno social da música ciberpunk resulta do esforço colectivo dos participantes dentro da cultura, e é para eles que direciono o meu primeiro grande agradecimento. Sinto-me grato a todos os fãs do ciberpunk por manterem viva esta cultura, e por construírem à qual também pertenço, e espero, enquanto aca-fã, ter sido capaz de fazer jus à sua importância e aos discursos dos seus intervenientes. Um enorme “obrigado” à Professora Paula Gomes Ribeiro pela sua orientação, e por me ter fornecido perspectivas, ideias, conselhos, contrapontos teóricos, ajuda na resolução de contradições, e pelos seus olhos de revisora-falcão que não deixam escapar nada! Como é evidente, o seu contributo ultrapassa em muito os meandros desta investigação, pois não posso esquecer tudo aquilo que me ensinou desde o primeiro ano da Licenciatura.
