Opis:
Even at the apex of its hype cycle in the 2010s, game studies scholars and designers derided gamification. This article first explores why gamification inspired such vitriol. It finds the incursion of non-game corporations and entities into the field was a threat to those who fought so ardently to legitimize the profession and promote a more playful or ludic 21st century. The article then delves deeper into the literature of play to redefine what occurs when a player engages with a gamified app, such as the social media application Foursquare. It rescripts their activity as ‘punctuated play’, or when the competition, conflict, glory, and other aspects of traditional play pierce a moment but do not necessarily define it.

IGDA Curriculum Framework
Opis:
Launched in October 2013, GAMEDEC: game studies & Design is a specialisation track within the 2nd Gen Humanities (aka Humanities 2.0) 3-year BA programme at Kazimierz Wielki University (UKW) in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The curriculum was created by UKW academic staff with game design experience, guided by the IGDA 2008 Framework and consulted with game dev professionals. It underwent slight modifications in 2014 and a significant transformation in 2015. This paper aims at a thorough analysis of the structure of the curriculum as seen through the lens of the IGDA Framework (2008), including the coverage of both Core Topics and Institutional Considerations. The analysis is conducted in the context of foreign (mostly U.S.- based) game degrees and supported with comments on its design, implementation and modifications.

Opis:
The main aim of this article is to demonstrate that contemporary gamers commit to a political nature of consuming digital game contents to facilitate cultural renewal. In illuminating how the rise of the cottagecore game at the turn of the 2020s has not only been driven by this cultural renewal but also intensified its major trajectories, the study contradicts critical assertions about the inimical relationship between gaming and real life which still remains in mainstream culture. This study aims to continue advancing the practice of game theorists who have shifted academic interest to the relevance of the digital game as a medium by conceptualizing the practice of enjoying a digital game as ‘consumption’ in the fashion defined by K. Marx. Building upon what might be termed an open-world game suggested a contradicting concept of playing a digital game, this study takes Harvest Moon as one of the early examples which inspires the swarming number of cottagecore games in the late 2010s and Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing as representatives of the rise of the cottagecore game, the study will illustrate how the rise of the cottagecore game reveals modernity of contemporary gamers who share a vision of digital game as a uniquely positioned medium for imagining a better world and themselves and, subsequently, facilitating a shift in cultural attitudes in a politically progressive manner.

Opis:
We present a framework of story beats, defined as microunits of dramatic action, as a tool for the ludonarrative analysis of videogames. First, we explain the Goal - Action - Reaction - Outcome model of the story beat. Then, we present six types of story beats, Action, Interaction, Inaction, Mental, Emotion, and Sensory, providing videogame examples for each category. In the second half of the paper, we contextualise this framework in the classic game studies theory of videogame narrative and player action: unit operations, gamic action, anatomy of choice, and game design patterns, wrapping it up in the most recent trends in cognitive narratology. Ultimately, we present the story beat as a ludonarrative unit, working simultaneously as a ‘unit operation’ in the study of games as systems, and as a microunit of character action in narrative analysis. The conclusion outlines prospective directions for using story beats in formal, experiential, and cultural game research.

Opis:
W ostatnich dekadach gry komputerowe zdołały wyswobodzić się z ograniczeń chronologicznych narracji oraz koherentnego czasu, jakimi były obarczone w początkach swego istnienia. Obecnie stanowią materiał plastyczny i podatny na wszelkie eksperymenty wiążące się z tematem temporalności, zarówno ze względu na mechanizmy przejęte od starszych mediów, jak i liczne mechanizmy pozwalające im na przekroczenie ludzkich doświadczeń i wyobrażeń na temat czasu. Gry zaczęły nie tylko w pełni korzystać z retrospekcji i prolepsis, ale również wytwarzać wirtualne symulacje, w których upływ czasu drastycznie różni się od tego doświadczanego w codziennym życiu. Tekst Magdaleny Cieleckiej podsumowuje stan badań dotyczących temporalności gier komputerowych oraz ukazywania tej problematyki w samych grach w oparciu o tytuły reprezentujące innowacyjne struktury temporalne.
In recent decades computer games have managed to emancipate themselves from the constraints of chronological narratives and coherent time, which they were burdened with at the beginning of their existence. Currently they are a flexible medium, susceptible to any experiments involving the theme of temporality, because of mechanisms adopted from older media, and numerous mechanisms permitting them to go beyond human experiences and notions of time. Games not only make use of retrospection and prolepsis, but also produce virtual simulations, in which the passage of time is dramatically different from the one experienced in everyday life. Magdalena Cielecka’s article summarises the state of research on the temporality of computer games and the way this issue is portrayed in games, in particular through games representing innovative temporal structures.

Opis:
The discussion on games as (not) art has been raging for decades without reaching a consensus. It is argued here that the ontological status of games is irrelevant for the perception and development of aesthetic experiences in videogames. Instead, game design should be regarded as ripe to convey the experience of art according  to established aesthetic theories. The essay presents Adorno’s aesthetic theory and highlights its reflections in the games Papers, Please and Observer. It then describes how they were synthesized into a  critical gameplay experience in the author’s game Distressed. The latter may be regarded as an example of a method in game studies in which the aesthetic potential of games is explored by creation rather than analysis. Arguably, this reveals the importance of epistemological approaches  towards games and art instead of the predominant ontological ones.

Opis:
When Lara Croft travels, she travels light – sans suitcase, but in most cases with enough firepower to take opposing forces ranging from dinosaurs to bloodthirsty locals. However, her big guns seems often unnecessary titillation, for she can manage very well without them thanks to her exquisite acrobatic and hand-to-hand combat skills. She will vault over any obstacle, swim across rapid flowing rivers and abseil the steepest ravines. Lara Croft’s travels are often as physical as the virtual world would allow. That physicality returns our attention to the oft forgotten aspect of travelling namely the body of the traveller, not only defined by its position in space, but also by the ordinary and extraordinary circumstances of its biological interaction with the surrounding environment.In this paper I would like to explore the interplay between the body of the traveller and contexts it is located in. These contexts range from the narrative and gameplay aspects of the Tomb Raider series, but also go beyond the border of the game and are realised in the transformative and reflective cultural milieu of the game. In particular I want to focus on the representations of Lara Croft as an archetypal “action girl” and “adventurer archaeologist” and how these representations are realised in reference to the changing (maturing?) video game environments. In the framework of postcolonial and ecocritical theories I want to explore the dyads of body/the purported exotic, body/natural environment, as well as physical/mental aspects of travelling.
Kiedy Lara Croft podróżuje, podróżuje lekko – bez walizki, ale w większości przypadków z wystarczającą siłą ognia, by stawić czoła przeciwnikom, od dinozaurów począwszy a na krwiożerczych autochtonach skończywszy. Jednak jej pokaźna broń wydaje się często niepotrzebnym dodatkiem, ponieważ doskonale radzi sobie bez niej dzięki swoim wyśmienitym umiejętnościom akrobatycznym i walki wręcz. Potrafi przeskoczyć każdą przeszkodę, przepłynąć rwącą rzekę i zjechać po linie z najbardziej stromych wąwozów. Podróże Lary Croft są często tak fizyczne, jak tylko pozwala na to wirtualny świat. Ta fizyczność zwraca naszą uwagę na często zapominany aspekt podróżowania, a mianowicie na ciało podróżnika, nie tylko zdefiniowane przez jego położenie w przestrzeni, ale także przez zwykłe i niezwykłe okoliczności jego biologicznej interakcji z otaczającym środowiskiem. Autor niniejszego szkicu stawia sobie za cel zbadanie wzajemnego oddziaływania pomiędzy ciałem podróżnika a kontekstami, w których się ono znajduje. Konteksty te obejmują narracyjne i gameplayowe aspekty serii Tomb Raider, ale wykraczają również poza granice gry i dają się poznać w transformatywnym i refleksyjnym środowisku kulturowym gry. W szczególności autor koncentruje się na reprezentacjach Lary Croft jako archetypowej bohaterki akcji i archeologa-poszukiwacza przygód oraz na tym, jak te reprezentacje są przedstawiane w odniesieniu do zmieniających się (dojrzewających?) środowisk gier wideo. W ramach teorii postkolonialnych i ekokrytycznych zamierza zbadać dualizmy ciało – rzekoma egzotyka, ciało – środowisko naturalne, a także fizyczne – mentalne aspekty podróżowania.

Opis:
The gaming sector is currently, with about 3 billion gamers worldwide, one of the best developing segments in society, not negatively affected even by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the interest in working in this sector increases, so does the interest in higher education in this field. Although the first steps in establishing game studies on the academic grounds date back to the 1980s, this study field institutionalization beginnings can be talked about since 2000 with occurring the ludology definition and the emergence of the first game-oriented scientific journals. Despite the difficult start, in the present, studying digital games is not so limited, partial as well as full degree study programs appear at universities all around the world, but high school graduates are often not aware of these options, even in their nearest surroundings. The study aims to identify the level of awareness of the possibilities within higher education in the field of digital game studies and to determine the attitudes of potential future university students to this field of education in Slovakia that in recent years has significantly eliminated the gap between the level of the Slovak and the Western (or world) gaming sector after the fall of the Iron Curtain. In the study, the authors respond to the three main problems via research completed with a representative sample of respondents. Data show that the level of awareness about these study options if is insufficient, but not lower than the awareness about other study programs. The discovered attitudes are of little consistence and their valency tends from neutral to slightly negative. However, statistics show that respondents perceive the study program of digital gaming as potentially pleasant and at the same time, there is a significant correlation between playing digital games and displaying positive attitudes towards potential studying of the field in the target group.

Opis:
The article presents an updated model of playing a computer game as the user’s interaction with its system, taking into consideration audiovisuality as the fundamental channel for computer-human communication. Interactivity is an inherent property of computer games, which clearly distinguishes them from other kinds of games: it is therefore a defining feature of computer games. On the other hand, audiovisuality is a necessary characteristic, following from the communication between the computer and its user, taking place mainly in the channel of synchronized image and sound, which is dominant in human perception. The point of departure for the model development is an analysis of human interaction with the machine which runs the game system; in the model, there is a dynamic change from interactivity of a computer game to a human being’s interaction with the computer while playing, which makes it possible to fully account for the complexity of the situation of playing a computer game. The presented model combines the ludic aspect of a computer game (interactive entertainment) with the capacity to convey messages (an audiovisual cultural text), and from a commmunicative perspective, it unambiguously assigns a human being the role of the subject using a computer game.

I aim to present a wide variety of different definitions and theories of utopia, which seem indispensable in order to further the relationship between video game and virtual reality research and the multitude of utopian studies discourses. The thesis starts with a short recollection of Alexander Galloway’s thesis on video games and utopias from his article on World of Warcraft which I am trying to supplement with some of the most interesting contemporary utopian studies research. The core of the article focuses on sketching an alternative proposal which includes a variety of definitions of utopia and utopianism. My aim is to introduce precise and useful notions which could be further utilized in game analysis and game research.

Opis:
This paper takes Yakuza 0, a retrospective prequel and standalone entry to the Yakuza digital game franchise from Japan, as a case study for disabled feminine bodies vis-à-vis their male counterparts in game narratives. Of note is Makimura Makoto, a downtrodden Chinese-Japanese woman experiencing post-traumatic psychogenic blindness, who serves as the unwitting kingpin of the yakuza’s schemes. This paper posits that a reading of the game’s narrative (as supplemented by its gameplay mechanics) through the critical lens of disability studies offers a more affective and recuperative understanding of the game’s treatment of its marginalised characters. This paper first seeks to intervene in the game’s embodied and gendered power dynamics by attending to the body politics of its fictitious criminal underworld. Correspondingly, this paper troubles the game’s presentation of disability as a gendered performance, wherein feminine bodies disproportionately experience the material consequences and trauma of their disabilities, framed as pivotal narrative movements that spur the game’s male protagonists forward. Ultimately, this paper works towards a more empathetic reading of Yakuza 0 as a roadmap for how the franchise and digital games at large can address disability as a compounding, ever-evolving relational condition in addition to its physical and/or mental dimensions.

Opis:
The paper offers a reading of "Mass Effect: Andromeda" (BioWare 2017) vis-à-vis lost world romance (also dubbed “lost race romance”, or “imperial romance”), a late-Victorian area novelistic genre originating from H. Rider Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines" and serving as a major tool for British Empire propaganda - and as a source of the early science-fiction conventions. We claim the narrative failure of the ill-received game stems from its adherence to the rigid principles and forceful themes of the genre and the colonial and imperial imaginary informing it. Our analysis aims at highlighting the way 19th Century novelistic convention can be remediated as contemporary digital games, and to expose the link between imperial imaginary and the way open-world digital games are structured, on both narrative and gameplay levels - even when they do not directly refer to the historical colonial legacy.

Opis:
This article takes a ludological approach to QAnon and investigates the conspiracy phenomenon as an Alternate Reality Game. Drawing extensively on media reportage of QAnon and reviewing its discussion in the domains of digital culture, media scholarship and game studies, connections between the QAnon conspiracy movement and digital game rhetorics in far-right online spaces are highlighted, with attention to the notions of Gamification and Dark Play. Exploring the intersection of digital game cultures, online conspiracy movements and political extremism, this paper invites scholarly attention to various aspects of QAnon from the fields of games studies and play studies. With the QAnon phenomenon highlighting the significant political impact and import of games culture, this paper shows that the field of ludology has much to offer a range of researchers in interpreting the motivations and meanings of the online communities from which QAnon emerged.

Opis:
The article explores the relation between implicit biblical patterns existing in American popular culture and video games. In analyzing a blockbuster video game, Detroit: Become Human developed by Quantic Dream studio in 2018, the text establishes three examples of the representation of a new model of messiahs/prophets in the digital context. The entire narrative revolves around undermining binary oppositions, as between religion and technology, mass culture and high culture, and Christ/Antichrist. To account for this fluidity, the major concept employed to discuss particular aspects of the games’ characters is Beebee’s definition of hybrid-messiahs.

Opis:
Susan Sontag otwiera analizę metaforyki chorób od metafory stanów zdrowia i choroby jako podwójnego obywatelstwa w granicznych państwach. Gry oferują nam przepustkę do reprodukcji i parafraz rzeczywistości, tak więc również w nich widzimy graniczne doświadczenie zdrowia/choroby. Warto jednak w tym momencie postawić pytanie, czy w rozrywce interaktywnej można odnaleźć przykłady przedstawień chorób, która nie funkcjonują jak metafora. Co za tym idzie, celem niniejszego eseju jest analiza metafor wprowadzonych w życie – życie wirtualne, ale być może właśnie dlatego pozwalające na więcej niż obserwację niebezpiecznego patogenu. Główną tezą tego eseju jest stanowisko, że gry przez podstawowy aspekt medium - interaktywność, często wychodzą poza “treść sentymentalną” reprezentacji choroby. Lub przynajmniej proces “sentymentalizacji” jest bardziej złożony i stanowi wypadkową wielu procesów, które składają się na doświadczenie rozrywki interaktywnej.
Susan Sontag opens her analysis of disease metaphors with the metaphor of health and disease as dual citizenship in bordering states. Games offer us a pass to reproductions and paraphrases of reality, so we also see here the borderline experience of good health/illness. However, it is worth asking whether in interactive entertainment one can find examples of representations of diseases that do not function as metaphors. Consequently, the aim of this essay is to analyze the metaphors put into practice – virtual life, but perhaps that is why they allow more than the observation of a dangerous pathogen. The main thesis of this essay is the position that games through the basic aspect of the medium – interactivity, often go beyond the “sentimental content” of the representation of the disease. Or at least the process of “sentimentalization” is more complex and is a product of many of the processes that make up the interactive entertainment experience.

Opis:
Digital games have come a long way since their origins as pure entertainment and can no longer be easily brushed aside as a frivolous pastime. The past decade or so has seen the introduction of many narrative-intensive games that take the joy of watching a great story unfold and combine it with a sense of agency in the audience, in this case, the player, thus giving us a new form of dramatic narrative. Despite the seeming appropriateness, however, attempts at conjoining Aristotle’s Poetics to digital game scholarship have been contentious. This paper aims to show that there is great merit in viewing narrative games through the lens of the terms and mechanisms discussed by Aristotle, more specifically his outlining of the ground rules for the desired form of tragedy. Additionally, a more indepth definition of words like hamartia, catharsis, and mimesis and their application will show the appropriateness of such a method in arguing for the artistic and aesthetic worth of this new medium that is known for obfuscating the more familiar structures of other narrative forms. To support the argument, the paper relies on recent digital game discourse and uses Naughty Dog’s award-winning, and highly contentious game, The Last of Us Part II, to demonstrate how it fits the mould designed by Aristotle and why it deserves the title of tragedy.

Opis:
The article Nomadicity in the Shadow of Mordor analyzes the tools of reproducing ideologies in video games based on Tolkien’s legendarium, including Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor (2014). Alejski tackles its mechanics using the concepts presented by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guatttari—the nomadic thought and dynamics of relations between particular objects, such as territory, map and diagram during the gameplay. In order to identify these nomadic strategies occurring in the game, the processes of deterritorialization, the creation of maps and diagrams, and the ways of functioning in relation to these processes occurring in the game are taken under consideration. Alejski’s particular attention is dedicated to the categories of inhabitation and movement—both in the topological and ontological context. An important source of reproduction of nomadic thought described in the article is the so-called Nemesis system— a gameplay management module contained in the code of Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor that allows new actors to join the game, enabling them to enter into relations not only with the user but also with each other. The operation of the Nemesis system brings together the potential of the agency of all actors involved in the game (including the user) and allows for decentralized and non-hierarchical production of the story.

Opis:
The paper aims to outline how video games Valiant Hearts: The Great War (Ubisoft Montpellier, 2014) and My Memory of Us (Juggler Games, 2018) use narrative and ludic structures to create commemorative stories about the First World War and the Second World War. The author refer to the concept of historical culture (among others, in Jörn Rüsen’s interpretation) and examine the connections between the two video games focusing on the issue of designers’ intentions (digital games as examples of the commemoration of the past), the genre similarity (2D platform games), the intermedial convergence and the press reception. He discusses the strategy of the cultural agreement between designers and users, analyzes historical narratives as a part of the gameplay, examines relations between the individual and collective’s perspective and characterizes immersion’s mechanisms which reinforce players’ identification with the victims of both wars.
