Nos games ela também é femininas Gabriel Gimenes Liao empregada de maneira a desempenhar determinadas funções, servindo como elemento narrativo associado à personagem. Sérgio Nesteriuk Todavia, roupas, armaduras e acessórios possuem valores culturais e sociais que podem transcender este significado funcional: um uniforme deixa de ser o que representa per se para se tornar um ícone utilizado de forma a atrair o jogador. Este artigo analisa os arquétipos mais recorrentes utilizados para representar a figura feminina nos games, a diferença entre gêneros em relação às vestimentas e como a suspensão de descrença ligada ao fetichismo pode compor um cenário em que a funcionalidade da indumentária é perdida. São elencados alguns motivos pelos quais defendemos a hipótese de que essas representações são limitadoras e limitantes em diversas dimensões, tanto in-game quanto em suas repercussões sociais enquanto produto cultural contemporâneo. Ao final, é proposta uma revisão da discussão sobre character design e sua aplicação nos jogos, para a existência de uma relação de consubstancialidade entre o ambiente e a personagem. A Influência da Estética Fofa na Viviane Sampaio Maia Os jogos eletrônicos evoluíram rapidamente desde seu início nos anos 70, tornando necessária uma sistematização do Percepção dos Usuários de Jogos Glaudiney Moreira Mendonça processo de desenvolvimento de jogos. Estudiosos criaram modelos de arquitetura de informação para auxiliar no processo Eletrônicos Junior de criação, mas a aparência visual dos jogos não recebeu muita atenção. A mídia dos jogos possui vários fatores e estilos estéticos para provocar prazer no usuário, como a contemplação de imagens com grande realismo e muitos detalhes gráficos, ou, de estilos minimalistas. Uma possibilidade é utilizar-se do fofo, um estilo mais simples e que facilita o estabelecimento de uma relação amigável com o jogador e incentivá-lo a explorar o ambiente com menos receio das consequências. Este trabalho propõe-se a analisar a influência da estética fofa nos jogos eletrônicos com o intuito de auxiliar no processo do design de jogos e de seus personagens através de um melhor entendimento das possibilidades do uso do fofo. Foram feitas entrevistas aprofundadas, complementadas por questionários de semântica diferencial, onde vários participantes testaram três jogos considerados fofos. A utilização de estratégias de Matheus Pacheco Cunegato O termo gamificação, originalmente do inglês gamification, corresponde ao uso de elementos de games em outros gamificação em uma interface digital Maurício Elias Dick contextos que não sejam aqueles de entretenimento puro. A proposta deste conceito é tornar tarefas comuns mais atraentes e motivadoras, adicionando o elemento lúdico a elas. Nesse contexto, a gamificação tem sido bastante utilizada em interfaces digitais, pois possui potencial para a criação de motivação e entretenimento na realização das mais variadas atividades no ambiente digital. Assim, de modo a compreender a aplicabilidade da gamificação no contexto das interfaces digitais, este estudo teve por objetivo apresentar a aplicação de conceitos de gamificação no design de uma interface digital. Para isso, foi desenvolvida a interface de um aplicativo móvel gerenciador de tarefas apoiada no método projetual de Garrett (2011), que se divide em cinco etapas: Estratégia, Escopo, Estrutura, Esqueleto e Superfície. A partir da finalização do estudo, foi possível compreender a aplicabilidade da gamificação no contexto de interfaces digitais e como a mesma pode ser utilizada como fator de motivação para os usuários. Como resultado, obteve-se um protótipo funcional de alta fidelidade de um aplicativo gerenciador de tarefas para smartphones, que se diferencia dos demais pelo grau de motivação gerado ao usuário em função da inserção dos elementos gamificados. 4 XV Simpósio Brasileiro de Jogos e Entretenimento Digital - 8 a 10 de Setembro na Escola Politécnica da USP LIVRO DE RESUMOS Trilha - Artes e Design (1º andar, sala 1) Full Papers Título Autores Resumo Adaptando “Macunaíma” para os Janaina Leite de Azevedo Este artigo visa apresentar os resultados até o momento obtidos e as perspectivas de finalização de pesquisa que objetiva Games: modelagem e prototipagem Antônio Francisco Magnoni analisar a utilização dos jogos digitais em sala de aula, em especial nas áreas de Ciências Sociais e Linguagem na Educação de Jogos Digitais para Ciências Básica, bem como a modelar processos visando a produção seriada de jogos educativos nas áreas supramencionadas.

  • Revenue Models for Video Games How to Make Money from PC and Console Games, Even When They’Re Free
    Revenue models for video games How to make money from PC and console games, even when they’re free Master’s Thesis Ville Majander Aalto University School of Business Information and Service Management Spring 2019 Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master’s thesis Author Ville Majander Title of thesis Revenue models for PC and console games Degree MSc (Biz) Degree programme Information and Service Management Thesis advisor(s) Matti Rossi Year of approval 2019 Number of pages 61 Language English Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to illuminate what revenue models are in use within the PC and console gaming industries. The rapidly growing video games industry has seen a strong shift away from traditional, transactional sales, towards revenue models that enable recurring revenue generation and longer product life-cycles. the Free-to-play business model has introduced new ways of monetizing games that are making their way to pay-to-play offerings as well. Console and video games are shown to be an industry of its own, with characteristics from both software and entertainment industries. The value chains resemble those found in traditional publishing industries, while the end-products are clearly software products. This thesis identifies the most common revenue streams in use within the industry by examining literature on digital revenue models and examining real-world products. An explorative case study consisting of 3 games was conducted to identify revenue streams and their characteristics in a real-world context. Revenue streams within the games were identified based on type and targeting characteristics, mainly player typology.

  • Using Case Based Reasoning to Price Items in a Virtual Economy
    Department of Computer Science The University of Auckland New Zealand Using Case Based Reasoning to Price Items in a Virtual Economy Andrew Ettles October 2016 Supervisor: Ian Watson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Bachelor or Science Honours in Computer Science Abstract Virtual economies in massively multiplier online (MMO) video games provide a self- contained environment with few exogenous influences in which we can observe microe- conomic behavior of individual agents. In this dissertation we observe the decisions play- ers make when selling in-game items in the action role playing game (ARPG) Path of Exile. Each player in the game is their own vendor of items within the global in-game marketplace. To engage in trade players need to be able to identify and price items worth selling. We show that optimally pricing items, especially if items are heterogeneous, can be a difficult task for players. With time and knowledge constraints players resort to using heuristic pricing strategies. To help solve this \pricing problem" we design and implement a novel artificial intelli- gence (AI) system using case based reasoning (CBR), a methodology that has commonly been used for cost estimation or valuation. Given an unpriced item, the system uses his- torical market data of similar sold items to formulate a fair market price. Depending on the characteristic properties of the item different CBR models are considered. An internal evaluation of the system is conducted using cross-validation. The results of the evaluation are then used to optimize the parameters of the CBR system. i Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Introduction .

  • Changing the Paywall in Single-Player Games
    Changing the Paywall in Single-Player Games Faculty of Arts Department of Game Design Max Barnell Degree Project in Game Design, 15 ECTS Credits Game Design and Programming Supervisors: Masaki Hayashi, Jakob Berglund Rogert Examiner: Iwona Hrynczenko 06, 2014 Abstract Game companies are always looking for more ways to increase consumers and their revenue as well as how consumers purchase games. Several business models have been introduced that this thesis will look at, free-to-play, adding downloadable content to existing games, freemium and premium games. This thesis attempts to provide answers to what business models there are available for game developers and how that would influence the development of the single-player games to lower the point of entry for the consumers. It will focus on narrative single-player games and will use the business models to try and answer the question. A survey was handed out that investigated the respondent’s reaction to changes for BioShock Infinite developer by Irrational Games. The models were presented and compared to how the respondents reacted to the questions. Together with how companies are releasing games now this thesis came to the conclusion that in order to lower the entry point, the games need to be split and released episodically, together with increased downloadable content that added further playability to the game.

  • The Success of Free to Play Games and the Possibilities of Audio Monetization
    The Success of Free to Play Games and the Possibilities of Audio Monetization Kalle Hahl Bachelor’s thesis May 2014 Degree Programme in Media Digital Sound and Commercial Music 2 ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Media Digital Sound and Commercial Music Kalle Hahl The Success of Free to Play Games and the Possibilities of Audio Monetization Bachelor's thesis 59 pages. May 2014 Video games are a huge business – nearly four times greater than film and music busi- ness combined. Free to play is the fastest growing category in video gaming. Game audio is part of the development of every game having a direct correlation between the growth of gaming industry and the growth of gaming audio industry. Games have inherently different goals for the players and the developers. Players are consumers seeking for entertainment. Developers are content producers trying to mone- tize their product. The success of monetization is measured through the total revenue generated. However, the games that are acclaimed typically sell more than the games receiving poor reviews. This is the basis for the common ground between players and developers. A motive exists for creating great games. Although game design is a crea- tive and subjective art, few guidelines have been established for producing a ‘good game’. F2P games are free to download and play, but developers and publishers are able to generate revenue through advertising and in-game sales. If the items sold in-game empower the players with gameplay advantages, the game is considered a pay to win- game.

    nrik v He ap ad a ll sk Ma TUTORIALISTIC GAMEPL AY A comparison to restrictive explicit tutorials in a hard fun game of emergence Bachelor Degree Project in Informatics 30 ECTS Spring term 2014 Andreas Ran Supervisor: Erik Sjöstrand Examiner: Sanny Syberfeldt Abstract This report investigates if tutorials are necessary in a hard fun game of emergence with tutorialistic gameplay. This is done by comparing the performances of player who have and have not played a tutorial. The study is based on research of the classification of different kinds of games as well as research regarding the effect of tutorials on player experience. The terms tutorialistic gameplay and restrictive tutorials are introduced and defined. The method used for data collection was a game that automatically recorded performance data at one minute intervals. This performance data was then compiled and analysed to answer the research question: How does learning through tutorialistic gameplay affect player performance in normal gameplay compared to learning through restrictive tutorials in a hard fun game of emergence? Not enough results were received to answer the question, but they show examples of learning through tutorialistic gameplay having both positive and negative effects.
