Kerstin Keller-Loibl Leipzig 18.11.2010 letzte Bearbeitung am 26.05.2011 Referateblatt II Referateblatt Crönertz, Daniel: Der Angebotsmarkt Digitaler Spiele für Jugendliche in öffentlichen Bibliotheken / Daniel Crönertz. - 2010. - 137 Bl.: graph. Darst. Leipzig, Hochschule für Technik, Wirtschaft und Kultur, Diplomarbeit 2010 Abstract In der Diplomarbeit wird der Angebotsmarkt digitaler Spiele des Jahres 2009, im Besonderen für die Altersgruppe der Jugendlichen, strukturiert abgebildet. Dazu sollen zu Beginn die Begriffsbestimmung für „Jugendliche“ aus juristischer, entwick- lungspsychologischer, persönlichkeitspsychologischer und soziologischer Sicht sowie dem Spieleverhalten der Altersgruppe nach der JIM-Studie (Jugend, Information (Multi-)Media) 2009 vorgenommen werden. Anschließend wird der Angebotsmarkt anhand der Kategorisierung nach Plattformen wie PC, Konsolen und Handhelds und Genres beschrieben. Mithilfe von erfassten Daten der USK-Da- tenbank sind dabei Spiele (bis auf einige Ausnahmen), welche von der USK geprüft wurden, tabellarisch gelistet und werden für statistische Auswertungen genutzt. Anhand dieser Erfas- sungen wird u.a. belegt, wie hoch der „geeignete“ Anteil an Spielen des Jahres 2009 für Ju- gendliche Nutzer ist. Ebenso werden die USK-Genres und die Altersfreigabe für die einzelnen Plattformen untersucht und verglichen. Zudem sind Daten zu den beliebtesten und am besten bewerteten Spielen erfasst. Auf den Hauptteil der Arbeit aufbauend, werden unterschiedliche Distributionsformen sowie die mit digitalen Spielen verbundenen Akteure beschrieben, und weitergehende Trends und Prognosen vorgestellt. Der Basis der vorgestellten Daten zugrundeliegend, sollen im Ergebnis Handlungsempfehlun- gen für Bibliotheken im Umgang mit digitalen Spielen gegeben, sowie zukünftige Herausfor- derungen benannt werden. Zur Unterstützung zielgerichteter Entscheidungen in Bibliotheken sind zusätzlich im Anhang bibliothekarische wie nichtbibliothekarische Informationsmittel, von Einrichtungen und Pu- blikationen über Veranstaltungen bis hin zu Preisen und informativen Seiten im Internet, rund um das Digitale Spiel enthalten.

A ordem que vou utilizar não é necessariamente em grau de importância e peço desculpas se esqueci de alguém. Agradeço a minha família por tudo que fizeram por mim e por nunca questionar as minhas escolhas, sem eles não teria chegado até aqui. Também gostaria de agradecer a todos os amigos que fiz na faculdade, desde os companheiros de programação até as companhias para uma partida de truco no bar. Embora que com alguns guarde comigo um sentimento de decepção, muitos deles se tornaram companhias que pretendo guardar para a vida inteira. Agradeço também aos professores, que durante esses anos tanto me ensinaram, e também aqueles que me proporcionaram as oportunidades de trabalhar em projetos dentro da universidade. E por último, mas não menos importante, agradeço ao meu orientador por toda a ajuda e paciência que teve comigo "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man." -Patrick Rothfuss RESUMO LYRA, Rodrigo.

  • Freeplay 2011 Print Program
    Freeplay 2011 Print Program - v0.4 - 14-08-11 1 15/08/11 10:11 AM Freeplay 2011 Print Program - v0.4 - 14-08-11 2 15/08/11 10:11 AM A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Every creative act begins with an idea. What happens to the idea after that is a long, slow, sometimes brilliant, sometimes difficult process of kneading and shaping, moulding and smoothing, trying and failing, observing and ex- perimenting, before the idea takes on any sort of tangible presence in the real world. If Freeplay in 2010 was about looking out at the much wider world of play and how it connects with videogames, culture, art, education, and society, then Freeplay in 2011 is about looking at the individual and their role in not only the development of an idea into a game, but also in the individual's role in poli- tics, in culture, in creativity, and in a wider artistic sphere. To do that, we've widened the scope of the festival, introducing a new Playful Program that we hope takes games out into the streets and bars of Melbourne, we've created a new Interview Series to dig into what makes some of our most prominent creatives tick. We've brought back the awards to celebrate the best in local independent development, and we've built a conference program that tries to draw together a unique mix of developers, artists, students, educators, critics, and players. We look forward to seeing you at the Festival. We made it just for you.
