Opis:

Literature on the digital games industry and gaming history has for the most part focused on the global production centres of North America, Western Europe, Japan, and, lately, China. However, in recent years, a call to research the diverse and less dominant national contexts within which digital games are produced has been addressed. In this article, we shed light on early digital game development in Greece, covering the years between 1982 and 2002. This particular region has been highly neglected by both domestic and international researchers. We approach Greek digital game development from both historical and cultural perspectives, through an investigation of how local game developers interact with a wide range of contextual facets in a complex interrelation between global and national conditions. This article argues that, in order to highlight the characteristics of early national game production cultures and digital games design, one must examine them as well under the broader cultural production ecosystem, along with the economic and institutional contexts and transformations within which digital game production takes shape.

Opis:

The study deals with content media convergence, i.e. the fragmentation of media into different forms and formats in order to reach new audiences. The main thesis is that this form of convergence, which has been observable in the media segment over the last decades, has in recent years started to be deliberately and purposefully implemented in the digital games segment as well, and game studios are trying to reach audiences that are not players of the original game from which the media content converged through the creation of media content. However, not in order to attract them to play the game, which could be considered a classic marketing strategy, but in order to create a narrative and intermedia universe from which each converged part can have a separate audience, for which it is not necessary to know the whole universe. The study proves this through a case study of the game League of Legends by the game studio Riot Games and on the contents that converged from the game, through a discursive content analysis in the categories of gaming segment, audio-visual contents, music, social networks and other contents. The study concludes that the analysis supports the thesis that League of Legends converges and is able to fully reach non-gamer audiences.

Opis:

A study from the OECD published that Cancer is one of the main causes of mortality in developed societies, with remarkably high prevalence, incidence and mortality rates for both sexes. This study closely examines nine digital games to elucidate how they conceptualize a disease like cancer around a narrative concerning the sickness, patients, treatments and outcomes. Discourse and content analysis techniques were applied to the message contained in the games looking to illuminate the connection between the narrative core, the audio-visual representation and the interactive aspects of the game, within the parameters of values-conscious design applied to digital games. This provides some evidence about the cultural and visual aspects of how game designers conceptualize the disease as a part of society. This research uncovers culturally embedded themes and reveals the prevalence of metaphor use in cancer discourse which relied on science, social support and spiritual convictions for social empowerment, building empathy and identification.

Opis:

Digital games have long been investigated for links to negative influences, but they exert a range of impacts on players. A variety of factors can contribute to stressful experiences in play, including game content, player interactions, and gender. This project uses qualitative methods to better understand how players experience and perceive these stressors and why they persist despite them. There are a surprising number of ways that players’ experiences align in spite of gender. Players encounter stress with both design and social experiences, are inclined to “rage quit” if stressors are substantial enough, and are increasingly averse to toxic communities. However, there are also gender-specific experiences. Men are much more concerned with the skillsets of other players, while women worry about their own performance. Further, these experiences of stress complicate our understandings of distress and eustress, with players less motivated by stressors than they are by the anticipated future relief from distress.

Opis:

The present study does not approach digital games per se and in accordance with the, so to speak, matter-of-course habitus, i. e. within the frame of game studies discourse (regardless of the ludology-narratology debate and probably even continuing tension), but rather in a wider cultural context and that by following essentially their relations to other cultural contents and phenomena, cinema in particular. Hence the intermediality discourse is within the pursued reflection applied as, from the point of view of the author, a fruitful framework. Intermediality can be legitimately approached as such a relation between media which, as Petr Szczepanik puts it, 'creates indivisible fusions'. If we accept this thesis and utilize it as a starting point, film – connecting image, word and sound – appears to be intermedial apriori. On the basis of this and in connection with digital games (which, by the way, can be in terms of the aforementioned understood as intermedial a priori, too), such cinematic works of art – naturally, pars pro toto – are in the centre of interest here in which the a priori intermedial character of film is in a sense amplified or rather brought to a square (film as 'intermedium') – in this case and context by evincing ties, implicit and/or explicit, to digital games.

Opis:

Digital games are a medium of constantly growing socio-cultural significance, which strengthens and expands their potential to influence players. Participation in digital games, however, is indirect and thus accomplished through an avatar – a hero, an object or a more abstract structure that allows the player to impose his will in the game world. At the same time, male avatars embody a specific type of masculinity, symbolically affecting the user. This mutual interaction can be of particular importance in shaping the ideas and views around one’s masculinity or its patterns in the cultural and social dimension. In this sense, players learn from games how to be a man. This article constitutes an attempt at capturing the leading types of masculinity among the main protagonists of the most popular digital games. The study shows that many popular games reproduce the stereotypical narratives of dominant masculinity as understood by Zbyszko Melosik. The article contains an attempt at indicating the reasons for this state of affairs and the possible consequences for the players.

Opis:

This article explores the potential of digital games to encode references encompassing specific cultural ideas of romantic love within their spatial structures, thus helping guide the player’s interpretation of romance as they interact with and move through those spaces. It undertakes an analysis of romantic subplots in BioWare’s fantasy role-playing games, specifically those which reappropriate the courtly love trope, and discusses elements of that remediation which rely heavily on spatial metaphors and structures, including the shared experience of heroic journey, the role of questing for the development of romance, and spatial positioning of lovers on the game map. Through its analysis, the article explores how digital games can employ spatial rhetoric while approaching topics of love, and how they are equipped to represent the materiality and spatiality of love and love narratives.

Opis:

Difficulty is the personal experience of a subject facing resistance that prevents them from reaching a goal or desired state. It is an experiential part of everyone’s existence. In digital games, difficulty is strongly linked with designed challenges and obstacles that must be overcome by physical effort, manual skills, coordination, and dexterity. But this widespread perspective is a reductionist categorization of the expressive possibilities of difficulty. Because as experiential, difficulty is aesthetic expression and therefore it is much more than the mere skill challenge. The difficulty experience that emerges from an opposing force between object and subject, between game and player, can be interpretive, poetic, narrative, ethical or atmospheric among other expressive forms. Understanding difficulty from these broad parameters, we pose it as an aesthetic expression, which forges multiple experiences at the intersection between mechanics, fiction, and the player’s performance. This study analyses, drawing from philosophy, postphenomenology, and game studies, some aspects of two contemporary games, The Last of Us Part II and Death Stranding from the view of difficulty as aesthetic experience perspective, considering the significant and discursive tensions beyond purely ludic and mechanical elements.

The study was conducted to find out what impact a digital game had on students’ learning performance and motivation. A quasi-experimental study was performed with two groups of students. The experimental group was taught using the digital game Kahoot whereas the control group was taught with the conventional method. Pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires on the students’ motivation and attitudes toward gamification in language learning were the instruments used in this study. The data were analyzed using Independent t-tests and One-way Analysis of Covariance. The results revealed statistically significant differences with regard to learning performance and motivation at 0.05. The experimental group obtained higher scores than the control group, and the motivation of students in the experimental group was much higher than that of the control group. In addition, the results of a survey indicated that students had positive attitudes towards application of digital games in language learning.

Opis:

Digital games represent a new media form dominated by men, either as characters or as players. The perception of digital games as ‘Boys’ Fun’ has been denied by the latest research that points to the fact that women are increasingly accessing this medium. But the analysis of digital games shows that gender roles appear in this media as real-world stereotypes. It means that there is discrimination against women who often have a passive role, whether they appear as victims or as sexual objects. When they are not damsels in distress helplessly awaiting their saviour or playing heroines, then, they are most often portrayed as rebellious beauties with oversized dimensions. The subject of this paper is female representation in digital games. Authors used content analysis of 30 digital games with female protagonists, published at J Station, to examine the female gender roles in such digital games. The aim of the empirical study is to demonstrate that the elements of gender discrimination are present in digital games and that they can lead to the creation of harmful stereotypes against women.

Digital games are one of the biggest cultural phenomenon of our time. From the first primitive devices, throught milestones of age, which inherited cultural status, to the newest technology – every part has its own meaning and proves that humans are playful creatures. But in digital games lies much greater potential, which can be used outside of the gaming industry, because games have an irredeemable place in the majority of the population. In current times we can even talk about gaming society and the author of this overview study sees his goal to process the historical development of digital games, analyse its current state and therefore this study could serve as the theoretical framework for further exploration, such as the future development of this area.

The purpose of the following article is to provide information about some key features of the development and publishing process that have a significant impact on digital game localization from English into Slovak. The selected features are based on a study by M. Kabát on localization aspects of non-gaming software that are here adapted to digital game localization, and on the author’s practical experience. Each key feature is briefly introduced and its impact on digital game localization is described. Where necessary, examples are provided. Other than presenting key features of digital game localization, the intent behind this paper is to spread information on digital game localization as I believe that, e.g., developers should be more informed on this topic to create more effective cooperation with localizers and in that way higher quality localization.

Opis:

Immersive theatre, a theatrical form emerging at the beginning of the 21st century, invites spectators to become immersed in interactive theatre performances. The use of the term immersive indicates a strong influence from digital media, particularly from virtual worlds (VWs). Immersive theatre and VWs appear to share characteristics. A systematic comparative approach tracing the presence of characteristics shared by immersive theatre and VWs (i.e., virtuality, worldliness, information intensity), among others, still unique to VWs (i.e., agency, ergodicity), reveals that immersive theatre has assimilated some VWs characteristics while still being in the process of negotiating others. The paradigm of pervasive games is brought into the conversation to claim immersive theatre as a partially successful case of theatre gamification, revising theatrical and dramatic conventions, towards what could be called a digitally and ludically inspired neo-dramatic. New intermedial forms of expression could benefit from the adoption of a game/play frame.

Opis:

Temporal issues related to digital games go beyond the strictly literary or film studies character of the description and implies technological and marketing issues. It can be outlined by referring to the concept of Andrzej Stoff, who analyzed the spatial dimension of the world of the novel (“delineating space”, “creating”, “functionalizing”, “valorising”). Relating these four detailed issues – constituting the basic subject of description, analysis and interpretation – to temporal aspects, it is appropriate to talk about measuring (conventionalizing, relativizing) time, thematizing, functionalizing and valorizing it. Taking into account the above categories, the most typical concretizations of temporal phenomena can be further defined: functional (classic chronometry, clock, server time, time of a running process), gameplay (real time, relativization, quest time, respawn time), thematic concretizations (e.g. retrospection as a compositional dominant of multimodal narratives) and marketing concretizations (commercialization of time).

Advergames have been appearing alongside digital games since the very beginning. Although they had been originally created as marketing tools, their gaming nature has made from them an important part of digital-gaming industry heritage. At the same time, advergames, which persisted over time, may represent significant advantages for the brands they promote. The aim of the study is an examination of advergames’ timelessness based on a theoretical framework and a qualitative-quantitative content analysis of advergames released across their history up to 2000, taking into account aspects of both digital games’ and advertising timelessness. Besides general popularity, archetypal character, current playability and preservation, the analysis also focuses on the advergame design and brand implementation forms.

Opis:

The article focuses on aspects of media literacy in digital games and seeks to answer the question whether digital games can develop players' media competences and, if so, in which areas. The article points out the positive aspects of the player's immersion in digital games as a way to develop competencies without the player realizing it. Through a qualitative content analysis with a focus on media competences, it offers an extensive list of games and the competences found in them. The research included 32 digital games from 1997 to 2022. The decisive criterion was the presence of any media in the game (print, radio, television, internet, advertising, music, etc.) with which the player can interact – i.e. use them (read, listen, watch) or create other media products through them. At the same time it distinguishes between the use of media as a supplementary or entertainment element in games and media work as a direct determinant of the further development of the story or gameplay. The article concludes that digital games can indeed teach media competence without the player realising it, but that this has its limits.

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.

Based on a dialogue with authors of pragmatist philosophy, game studies, and communication, this article intends to understand the relationship between aesthetic experience and ludic media, in particular digital games, in what this relationship distinguishes from the aesthetic experiences provided by different media, such as literature, music, film and the arts in general. To better understand this relationship, we propose the presentation and development of three epistemological axes (or keys), namely: i) aesthetics and agency, ii) aesthetics and appropriation, and iii) aesthetics and politics. Furthermore, this article intends to present and comment on selected works of digital games to illustrate the relationship between play and aesthetic experience in each of those respective axes.

Opis:

Urban planning has been simulated through various city-building games such as The Sumerian Game (1964), SimCity (1989), and Cities: Skylines (2015), amongst many others. Gaming technology has been utilized in 3D GIS, City Information Models (CIMs), and Urban Digital Twins (UDTs) to enhance public participation and engagement in the planning process. This article studies the overlap and ‘game-like’ qualities of these systems and presents an Urban Game Continuum. This interactive tool works in tandem with a taxonomy of city-building games and existing UDTs in order to assist with the design of future systems. A case study imported GeoData from Lancaster, UK, into a games platform. The continuum tool and case study offer new insights into opportunities for the utilisation of game design and gaming technology in urban planning and digital transformation. The article argues that the current use of gaming technology for real-world applications is one-directional and misses opportunities to include digital game design and research, such as mechanics, dynamics, flow, and public participatory world-building for future scenarios. By incorporating these elements, UDT systems could offer higher levels of citizen engagement.

Opis:

Games that utilize satire have largely been unexplored despite their potential to be used as learning supplements or tools to foster conversations around difficult large-scale topics. To what game genre do these games belong, and what are the uses and benefits for learning from such games? In this exploration study, we examine six popular and culturally relevant digital games (5 directly, 1 indirectly) utilizing satire as part of their narrative and gameplay. The range of games covers topics such as global overpopulation, the use of artificial intelligence for surveillance, and the process of mass capitalist production and the manner of its consumption. Satirical digital games serve both the purposes of serious games and entertainment games, pointing to the problematic connotations of the term serious games. It is suggested that the name satirical games is used to describe digital games created for entertainment with underlying political messages and to make a statement and/or commentary on society. Satirical games have potential as powerful learning tools to help facilitate discussion around difficult topics about society’s functions and practices. Future studies should examine additional digital game titles that rely on satire in their narrative and gameplay and investigate the relationship between satire and its role in the learning goals of the games.

Opis:

The presented paper offers a short general introduction to frustration followed by a discourse on frustration as an integral part of gaming experience with the core distinction between positive in-game frustration and negative at-game frustration. The potential of frustration to increase motivation to play, emotional engagement and immersion is outlined. The paper includes comprehensive research using the means of a questionnaire (n=159) and content analysis (n=327) identifying types of frustrating situations in games, perceived sources of frustration, the behavioural impact of frustration and the relationship between locus of control and ascribed source of frustration. Results showed toxic behaviour as a leading cause of frustration. The most common declared behavioural output of frustration caused by the toxic behaviour of other players was quitting a game for a certain amount of time. Frustration showed the most motivational potential within the category of frustrating situations related to gamers e.g. being stuck in a part of the game, losing, not succeeding, etc. At-game frustration concerns mainly the category called the “game itself”. Most often the game was blamed for insufficiencies in game mechanics or game design, malfunctioning and technical issues within the game. The presented research did not show a statistically significant association between the source of frustration and a participant’s locus of control. The paper has potential in terms of game design and research of emotion, motivation or immersion.

Opis:

This study focuses on digital games that have become powerful persuasion tools which can be utilized for political marketing purposes. The authors believe that these media have to be thoroughly explored, because of the great potential of these platforms to become very useful tools for setting up political messages and the outreach capacity to the voting segment being difficult to achieve if only traditional media are used. The paper provides a set of theoretical views on political marketing in digital games. There are many examples analyzed in the paper, proving that the techniques of political marketing can create big benefits and that they can help politicians achieve their goals. So, we hypothesized a new phase of political marketing, underpinned by the utilization of digital games. As a methodology, we used content analysis of various digital games. The aim of this paper is to offer a better understanding of the benefits of political marketing campaigns in the digital gaming industry and to explore the role and impact of these techniques, as well as to provide potential future directions of this form of marketing.

Opis:

The eSports industry, supported by the accelerated development of digital technologies, is becoming more and more interesting to companies, as a potential place where products and services can be advertised. Given that consumers, who follow or actively engage in playing digital games and eSports, are mostly younger men, digital marketing strategies seem like a logical choice. This paper provides several theoretical viewpoints on the function of digital marketing in the industry of eSports. The authors attempted to make this topic more accessible to professionals with expertise in this field by assessing the views of 113 respondents and highlighting the possible advantages of adopting digital marketing in the eSports industry. The aim of this study is to show that companies should focus on promoting brands on digital platforms dedicated to eSports, because such activities, which are intended for players and audiences, are generally acceptable activities of business entities. Also, when carrying out brand promotion on these platforms, it is advisable to hire credible eSports influencers on social media to recommend their brands, and ultimately, to support the spread of eWOM about the company’s brand.

The study defines the role of concept art in the process of creating big visual projects. It intends to fill the gap in the academic field and to describe the process of creating concept art from start to finish, considering its theoretical as well as practical outlines. The theoretical part of the text is based on various concepts and lines of thinking, including analysis and synthesis of the obtained knowledge, as well as comparison of differing scholarly opinions on the discussed topic. Concept art as an art phenomenon of the 21st century is one of the most respected creative activities in the visual entertainment industry. Creating concept art has become one of the best paid work specialisations within the various processes of artistic and media creation. The meaning of concept art lies in the creation of ‘blueprint’ images and designs, based on the given concept’s purpose. Concept art serves a whole team of creative individuals as a reference allowing for the further development of a creative project. It is mainly used in projects based on key visual features such as unique environments, characters, design and fantastic stories. Therefore, each individual part of the given complexity must be ‘brought to life’ by properly trained artists.

Opis:

The issue with gamer identity has been troubling researchers for the last decade. Despite trying to assign different parameters such as time spent playing, individuals themselves do not identify along such lines and the reasons why one person defines themselves as a gamer and another does not have not been clear. The goal of this paper to demonstrate, by applying B. Suits ontology of games and understanding identity in accordance with H.-G. Moeller’s concept of profilicity as a form of identity construction, the existence of two separate constructs of the gamer label. To demonstrate this, a series of interviews were conducted with two groups of people engaged in gaming: those who sought fun and those that desired winning. Both groups show clear differences in self-identification with their identity and the observed differences explain inconsistencies and issues observed by prior studies. Playing for fun is a factor that acts against seeing oneself as a gamer while playing to win is a factor inducive towards identifying as a gamer. Those that seek winning are likely to seek validation of their identity by comparing themselves to known gamer influencers while those that prefer playing over gaming will construct their definition of a gamer in an authentic manner.

Opis:

The aim of this paper is to find connections between the digital game Sunless Sea (Failbetter Games, 2015) and Joseph Conrad’s novels, particularly the ones touching on the subject of sea voyage. Sunless Sea is an exploration role-playing game which focuses on the topics of sailors’ loneliness, dual nature of the sea, and above all, player’s inevitable failure. These tropes are shown not only in the narrative structure of the game, but also in its mechanics and design choices. I believe that the game is heavily inspired by the notion of maritime life created by Conrad, as indicated by the quote from The Mirror of the Sea opening the game: “The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.”

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:

The article probes the intermedial structure of the skeuomorphic interface in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The author indicates that intermedia research in game studies is often diachronically limited, focusing on material and semiotic interactions between “old” and “new” media. He proposes to open the field onto historically aware discoursive analysis and bases his method on Friedrich Kittler’s notion of “discourse networks”. This allows him to inspect the game in relation to technologically-founded networks that embody or bring into life specific modes of though and experience. During his analysis, he discovers that the interface design is involved with navigation devices in Late Medieval and Early Renaissance periods, Alberti’s windows as objects through with narrative spaces become visible, isometric modes of objective thinking, industrial and cybernetic notions of control, and the Xerox invention of the computer as a working environment.

The study focuses on Easter eggs in digital games from a structural point of view to understand them on the fundamental text level. With this aim, the analysis consists of applying Genette’s textual transcendence to a specific digital game, The Talos Principle. The paper represents part of the introductory theoretical framework to the following research on comprehensive Easter eggs’ classification.

Opis:

The author of this study suggests an idea that the auditive element of digital games is soon going to be one of the most important factors influencing their overall success, popularity, and originality. He analyses the phenomenon of binaural and ambisonic sound, its evolution and uses in the context of modern audio-visual work, primarily focusing on games. The auditive component and its increasingly important role are analyzed in connection with the graphic design of games, virtual reality, as well as the popularity of specific games. This paper also focuses on audio-games, the use of binaural sound (which was first used on a large scale in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice) and various hybrid digital games, which are balancing between classic games and audio-games. Argumentation is based on an assumption that binaural sound is the way to ambisonic sound, which (within the context of the immersive and interactive character of digital games) predestines the new standard and shows an entirely new way of creating and using digital games at the same time. All of this is reflected in the context of the graphic design of digital games and their future.

Gry cyfrowe są dziś medium powszechnie kojarzonym i chętnie wykorzystywanym. Sięgają po nie osoby w różnym wieku oraz odmiennym statusie społecznym. Graczki i gracze wikłają się jednak w coraz bardziej skomplikowaną kulturę gier cyfrowych, które w toku swojego rozwoju przekroczyły wolnoczasowe, ludyczne przestrzenie i ujawniły swój potencjał w wielu różnych domenach życia społeczno-kulturowego. Niniejszy przeglądowy artykuł przyjmuje holistyczną, socjologiczną perspektywę na fenomen gier cyfrowych. Poruszone tu wątki w wymiarach społecznym, ekonomicznym, kulturowym oraz edukacyjnym kreślą uogólniony obraz gamingu w najważniejszych obszarach jego oddziaływania. Zazwyczaj ma to pozytywy efekt, jednak nie zawsze. Dlatego w tekście poruszone są także krytyczne względem gier cyfrowych wątki. Dzięki takiemu podejściu czytelnicy zyskują szeroką perspektywę na to medium, niezbędną do jego pełnego zrozumienia, praktycznego wykorzystania oraz ewentualnych dalszych badań własnych.
Digital games are a well-recognized and willingly used medium nowadays. People of different ages and social status play games. However, players become entangled in the increasingly complex culture of digital games that during its development surpassed leisure-time, ludic spaces and revealed its potential in different domains of socio-cultural life. This review article takes a holistic, sociological perspective on the phenomenon of digital games. The discussed topics in the social, economic, cultural and educational dimensions outline a generalized picture of gaming in the most important areas of its impact. This usually has a positive effect, but not always. That is why the article also touches on critical threads in relation to digital games. Due to such an approach, readers gain a broad perspective on this medium, necessary for its full understanding, practical use and possible further own research.

Opis:

Team cohesion, teamwork and team building are important constructs regarding teams and their performance in various organizations and environments. In this review, we summarize the current state of research on the influence of digital games on team cohesion and related constructs. We found a total of 7 studies that fit the criteria, resulting in 18 outcomes. Among the 18 outcomes that improved throughout the intervention, 15 reported significant improvement from the intervention and 3 reported no significant differences. Specifically, team communication, task delegation, atmosphere, trust, team flow, team performance and goal commitment were the most improved sub-constructs by team building video gaming interventions. The majority (n = 9) of those with significant improvements post-test were from randomly controlled trials (RCTs) with single or two control groups. Overall, we found that team video gaming may be effective in supporting team cohesion or team building; however, to enhance the understanding of the relationship between digital games and team cooperation, it is recommended to extend or vary gameplay intervention times, prioritize diverse outcome measures, address reporting biases, conduct follow-up assessments, include diverse populations and report demographics, and recognize the specific effects of different game features on outcomes.

Aim. The study aims to explore the current state of digital game-based learning to reflect the extent, possibilities, opportunities, and limitations of its implementation in the specific field of education as visual art, especially photography. Method. The explorative study employed the method of theoretical analysis of available literature and other secondary sources related to the issue, and subsequently applied the method of an illustrative (descriptive) case study. Results. Photo modes of commercially available digital games, originally intended to increase the players’ retention and participation, have led to the birth of a new art form, virtual photography. The technology of photo modes in a larger variety of recent games has made virtual photography available to significantly more players. Photo modes provide artistic control and creative options alongside a whole catalogue of lenses, camera parameters, and other features, reducing the financial burden associated with the purchase of photographic equipment. Furthermore, photo modes offer more than just a substitutable alternative to traditional photography, as added artistic value is found within virtual worlds. Conclusions. Despite some limitations regarding the overall implementation of digital game-based learning in photography classrooms, photo modes of commercially available digital games are a suitable tool for educational efforts in photography through both self-development and measurement of outcome-based learning.

Opis:

This study applies concepts of restorative and reflective nostalgia to ‘remake’ titles for eighth-generation consoles (here, PlayStation and PlayStation 2 titles remade for the PlayStation 4). Retro-game scholarship has considered 8 and 16-bit titles and fan practices through the concept of nostalgia since the mid-2000s. However, increasingly AAA game publishers have begun to remake and remaster more recent games. Given the potential for nostalgia to be either an oppressive or resistive set of interactions between object-game and subject-player, this paper analyses how restorative and reflective nostalgia is manifested throughout the narrative and gameplay mechanics of Yakuza Kiwami and Final Fantasy VII Remake, alongside players’ and digital game journalists reactions to the titles. This study utilizes a qualitative analysis of the remade titles, user comments from the E3 trailers posted to YouTube for each game, and digital game popular press articles to approach nostalgic reactions. Ultimately, the potential for both modes of nostalgia coexist as each of these titles are consumed and exist alongside other consumer goods.

Opis:

The paper discusses the criteria about how one can establish if a group is a new genre. It distinguishes between two main lines of thinking about genre in general – content and discourse. Both lines have two things to discuss. For content it is similarities and differences in mechanics, and for discourse it is commercial and social purpose of the use of new categories. The case studies then show how this can be applied to the rising auto battler class. There are 7 core mechanics in games that are similar, but every game differs in small details from others. The discourse in the social and commercial sphere has appeared over a short time period, and the adoption of the new genre by the gaming community was therefore fast. The bottom line of the text is that using rigid categories for discussions about digital games cannot focus only on rigid criteria, but also on context.

Opis:

Digital games are social objects created based on our culture and society and at the same time they contribute to shaping our world. Through a critical perspective of digital games and technology, it is possible to discuss the unfolding of these artefacts in our society and also understand their relevance beyond an instrumental view. In this paper, we present a brief reflection based on two researches developed by the authors: the first, regarding the link between digital games and people with disabilities; and the second, about contributions of digital games to a critical education. Our goal with this work is to highlight the emancipatory and participatory potential present in the critical vision of digital games.

Opis:

Gry cyfrowe są obecnie jednym z ważniejszych mediów ekranowych. Niektórzy badacze przypisują im szczególną rolę we współczesności, którą określają mianem „ery gier”. Niestety medium to jest chyba jedynym tak często narażonym na surową krytykę ze strony różnych grup społecznych: rodziców, nauczycieli, polityków. Zazwyczaj wynika to z niezrozumienia specyfiki gier, a także bezradności. Zdarza się jednak, że radykalne opinie względem gier wyrażają autorytety naukowe. Nie ma w tym nic niepokojącego, jeśli rozważania są oparte na solidnych podstawach. Niestety nie zawsze tak jest, czego przykładem może być książka Philipa Zimbardo i Nikity D. Coulombe pt. Man Interrupted: Why Young Men Are Struggling & What We Can Do about It, w której gry – wespół z pornografią – obwiniane są za tak zwany kryzys męskości. Także publiczna debata, inspirowana kolejnymi sensacyjnymi doniesieniami, bardzo często ma więcej wspólnego z kolejną paniką moralną niż rzeczową wymianą argumentów. Niniejszy tekst stanowi próbę ukazania najważniejszych problemów z dyskursem wokół gier cyfrowych. Składa się on z trzech zasadniczych części: przedstawienia fenomenu gier cyfrowych jako takiego, który wymyka się uproszczeniom i generalizacjom; omówienia typowych zarzutów względem tego medium; oraz ukazania jego edukacyjnego potencjału. Celem takiego ujęcia tematu jest przede wszystkim uświadomienie czytelników, jak łatwo przyjmujemy przesadnie radykalną postawę względem gier cyfrowych, tracąc tym samym szansę na wykorzystanie ich pozytywnego (edukacyjnego, wychowawczego) potencjału. W efekcie proponuję tu pewien schemat dyskusji i myślenia o grach cyfrowych, który przybliża do pełnego wykorzystania możliwości tego fenomenu kulturowego.
Digital games are one of the most important media nowadays. Some researchers attribute a special role to them in today’s world, suggesting that we live in the ‘game era’. Unfortunately, this medium is probably the only one that is so often exposed to harsh criticism from various social groups: parents, teachers, politicians. This usually results from a certain misunderstanding of the specificity of games, as well as from helplessness. It also happens, however, that radical opinions about games are expressed by authority figures in academia. This is not disturbing in itself, provided that their considerations are based on solid foundations. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, as exemplified by the book by Philip Zimbardo and Nikita D. Coulombe, titled Man Interrupted: Why Young Men Are Struggling & What We Can Do about It, in which games – along with pornography – are blamed for the so-called crisis of masculinity. Moreover, the public debate – fueled by successive sensational reports – quite often resembles yet another moral panic more than a sensible or substantial exchange of arguments. This article is an attempt at revealing the most important problems with the discourse around digital games. It consists of three main parts: the presentation of the phenomenon of digital games as one that escapes any simplification and generalizations; the discussion of the typical accusations against this medium; the demonstration of its educational potential. The purpose of this approach is, above all, to increase the awareness with regard to how easily we tend to adopt an overly radical attitude towards digital games, thus losing the opportunity to use their positive (educational, pedagogical) potential. All this into account, I am putting forward a certain pattern of discussing – and thinking about – digital games, which makes it more likely to fully utilize the possibilities of this cultural phenomenon.

Opis:

A player’s subjective interaction with a digital game is referred to as player experience. The consequence of playing a game affects a player’s thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and behaviours. To measure player experience there are various qualitative and quantitative methods. Iterative game development and play testing sessions enhance and optimize game designs, to determine the impact of functional and psychosocial consequences of gaming in various cultures, a credible scale is required. To be able to measure and analyse player experience, this study aimed at adapting the ‘Player Experience Inventory’ (PXI) scale developed by V. V. Abeele1 to Turkish. The results of test-retest analysis and backand-forth translation demonstrate that linguistic equivalence is not applicable for the Turkish variant. Only one item for functional – audio-visual appeal – and two items from psychosocial – immersion and autonomy – consequence of gaming have a proper factor structure. In this way an adaption study was carried out by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and explanatory factor analysis (EFA) with three items from the scale. The validity and reliability of the scale and relationship of audio-visual appeal of gaming on game enjoyment were tested and this article proposes a model for the functional and psychosocial consequences of gaming.

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:

Shakespeare’s plays have long flirted with using various artistic and medial forms other than theatre, such as cinema, music, visual arts, television, comics, animation and, lately, digital games and virtual worlds. Especially in the 20th and 21st century, a fascination with Shakespeare both as a historical and theatrical figure and as a playwright has become evident in screen based media (cinema, television and video), ranging from “faithful,” almost documented performances of his plays to free style adaptations or vague film references. Digital games and virtual worlds carry on this tradition of the transmedial journey of Shakespeare’s plays to screen based media but top it up with new forms of interaction and performativity. For the first time in the history of mankind everyone can enjoy firsthand from his armchair and for free the experience of taking part in a play by the Bard by entering a virtual world as if it was a stage and by assuming roles through avatars. The article attempts first to introduce the reader to the deeper needs that gave rise to animation, a fundamental aspect of digital gaming and virtual worlds. It then tries to illuminate the various facets of digital performance and gaming, especially in relation to Shakespeare-themed and inspired digital games and virtual worlds, by putting forward some axes of classification. Finally, it both suggests some ideas that may be of use in rendering the Shakespeare gaming experience more “complete” and “theatrical” and ends by acknowledging the immense potential for the exploration of theatricality and performativity in digital games and virtual worlds.

Opis:

Dynamic difficulty adjustment (DDA) in digital games involves altering the difficulty of a game based on real-time feedback from the player. Some approaches to DDA use measurements of player performance, such as success rate or score. Such performance-based DDA systems aim to provide a bespoke level of challenge to each player, so that the game is neither too hard nor too easy. Previous research on performance-based DDA shows that it is linked to better player performance but finds mixed results in terms of player experience (e.g., enjoyment). Also, while the concept of flow is regarded as an important aspect of digital game experience, little research has considered the effects of performance-based DDA on flow. We conducted an experiment on the effects of performancebased DDA on player performance, enjoyment, and experience of flow in a digital game. 221 participants played either the DDA version of the game, a control version (difficulty remained constant), or an incremental version (difficulty increased regardless of performance). Results show that the DDA group performed significantly better. However, there were no significant differences in terms of enjoyment or experience of flow.

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.

The aim of the article is to present the idea of technical disillusion as an artistic device used in particular videogames. This phenomenon is analyzed using the example of Batman: Arkham Asylum (Rocksteady; 2009). Because of the far-reaching analogies with techniques present in other artistic discourses, the device of technical disillusion is also examined in the context of literature and film – especially in regards to Ingmar Bergman’s Persona. From this perspective, using technical disillusion as a device exposes its artistic potential and enables us to consider games as space for creative exploration.

Opis:

W artykule zaprezentowano analizę leśnych grajobrazów (gamespaces) w wybranych polskich grach wideo. Autorka odwołuje się do badań z zakresu studiów postkolonialnych, aby unaocznić, w jaki sposób utrwala się lub dekonstruuje wzorce kolonialne w projektowaniu relacji między awatarem gracza a przestrzenią leśną. Przygląda się relacjom między postacią a leśnym grajobrazem, uruchamiając konteksty związane z kolonizacją (Edward Said, Tomasz Z. Majkowski, Shoshana Magnet), tożsamością hybrydyczną (Souvik Mukherjee) i diasporą (Homi K. Bhabha, Krzysztof Loska). Twórcy gier bardzo często – świadomie lub nieświadomie – powielają wzorce kolonialne, prezentując relacje między przestrzenią i postacią. Daje się jednak odnaleźć przykłady polskich gier wideo (choćby Zaginięcie Ethana Cartera /2014/ czy Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest /2020/), których autorzy dekonstruują kolonialny paradygmat myślenia o podróżowaniu zarówno na poziomie fabuły, jak i mechaniki rozgrywki.
The article presents an analysis of forest gamespaces in selected Polish video games. Referring to research in the field of postcolonial studies, the author shows how colonial patterns are preserved or deconstructed in designing the relationship between the player’s avatar and forest spaces. She examines relationships between characters and forest gamespaces in contexts such as colonization (Edward Said, Tomasz Z. Majkowski, Shoshana Magnet), hybrid identity (Souvik Mukherjee), and diaspora (Homi K. Bhabha, Krzysztof Loska). Very often, game creators – consciously or unconsciously – replicate colonial patterns by depicting the relationship between space and figures. Despite this, some Polish video games challenge this paradigm by deconstructing it in both their narrative and gameplay mechanics. Two examples of such games are Zaginięcie Ethana Cartera [The Vanishing of Ethan Carter] (2014) and Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest (2020).

Opis:

This paper discusses the concept of the hero and the role of memory as an object of (re)construction of the world in the narrative of the Nintendo digital game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Through the analysis of how memory is reconstructed in Link and the characters that inhabit Hyrule, memories, historical and social memory, monuments, documents, space, and gameplay within the same digital game are also reconstructed. Testimonial memory, in turn, will help remember and construct the narrative of Link’s personal and social history by reconstructing the story. The personal experience that the player has while interacting with the game through the act of playing can build the metadiscourse between memory and narrative to understand the hero and his journey through the world. In this sense, the importance of the character Link within the game is affirmed, as he is a much more complex subject than a simple archetype within the game mechanics.

Celem artykułu jest syntetyczne ujęcie zjawiska gier cyfrowych II wojnie światowej powstałych w ubiegłym dziesięcioleciu na terenie Polski. Jakkolwiek tematyka ta pojawiała się w polskich grach cyfrowych już wcześniej, dopiero w drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku została przedstawiona bardziej jako traumatyczne doświadczenie aniżeli awanturnicza przygoda. Za przykłady służą trzy gry z lat 2011–2021: Popiół i diament, Warsaw, My Memory of Us. Badanie wykazuje, iż wspomniane tytuły odtwarzają narodową martyrologię w manierze filmów Andrzeja Wajdy. 
This article aims to synthesize the phenomenon of World War II digital games created in Poland in the past decade. Although the World War II themes had appeared in Polish digital games much earlier, it was not until the 2010s that it was presented as a traumatic experience rather than an adventurous period. Three games created between 2011 and 2021 serve as examples: Ashes and Diamonds, Warsaw, and My Memory of Us. The research shows that these titles reproduce national martyrdom present in Andrzej Wajda’s films.

Opis:

The article undertakes a detailed analysis of The Day the Laughter Stopped – a simple text-based browser game about rape, told from the perspective of a young teenage girl. While seemingly straightforward, the game uses choice poetics to build expectations of agency on the side of the player, only to subvert them at the most climactic moment, provoking emotional responses and serving as a commentary on the experience of loss of control and loss of words in the face of a traumatic event. Following existing approaches to rhetorical, emotion-evoking qualities and capabilities of digital games, the article explores the potential of the digital medium to communicate the unspeakable, overwhelming dimension of trauma, as illustrated by the game. The analysis not only explores the medium-specific means of expression which the game utilizes to encourage the audience to explore the perspective of a rape victim in an engaging way, but also leads to the conclusion that in doing so, the game aims to make persuasive statements about the social and cultural discourse around rape trauma and its representations, and therefore contributes to the larger socio-cultural discourse. As such, the article aspires to add to pre-existing studies on the specific rhetorical means of digital fiction, as well as on the approaches to cultural renditions of trauma.
Artykuł podejmuje szczegółową analizę The Day the Laughter Stopped – prostej, tekstowej gry przeglądarkowej podejmującej temat gwałtu, przedstawionego z perspektywy młodej nastolatki. Gra, choć z pozoru prosta, wykorzystuje poetykę wyborów, by wzbudzić w graczu poczucie sprawczości, tylko po to, by obalić je w kulminacyjnym momencie, prowokując tym samym emocjonalne reakcje i formułując komentarz do doświadczenia utraty kontroli i utraty słów w obliczu traumatycznego wydarzenia. Bazując na istniejących podejściach do retorycznych możliwości gier wideo, w artykule badam potencjał medium cyfrowego do komunikowania niewypowiadalnego wymiaru traumy. Gra służy zaś jako ilustracja. Podjęta analiza nie tylko bada specyficzne dla tego medium środki wyrazu, które gra wykorzystuje, aby zachęcić graczy do zaangażowania się w poznanie perspektywy ofiary gwałtu, ale także prowadzi do wniosku, że gra wykorzystuje je w zabiegach perswazyjnych, formułując argumenty dotyczące traumy i kultury gwałtu, i stając się niejako głosem w szerszym dyskursie społeczno-kulturowym. Artykuł ma na celu uzupełnienie istniejących badań nad konkretnymi środkami retorycznymi fikcji cyfrowej, jak również nad sposobami kulturowego przedstawiania traumy.

Opis:

Today we are seeing significant technological progress in the context of imitating reality. One technology which emulates our reality in comprehensive way is photogrammetry. The aim of the article is to illustrate the using of photogrammetry in the context of video games. The main part of the text is an analysis of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (The Astronauts, 2015). The authors of this video game decided to apply photogrammetry in order to display vast spaces in which an avatar is moving. I indicate that such an implementation not only creates a reliable illusion of reality, but also crucially affects video games’ poetics and narration.

Opis:

The intention of the study is to highlight the interrelationships between the operation of gaming principles and contemporary media culture. The authors analyze game principles as defined and conceptualized by R. Caillois in his work. They formulate a premise according to which individual game principles can also be identified in contemporary media production, especially in cinema and digital games. They are present in the choice of preferred media topics and in the discourse of creative approaches of media creators. Gaming principles are based on fundamental human qualities that dominate during play. That is, they are an anthropological issue and have had a culture-making function. Although mimicry is the most dominant gaming principle within media production, other gaming principles, namely agon, alea, and illinx, are also found in particular genres and formats. The authors argue that contemporary media culture is shaped by the coordinates of game principles as well as by the mental settings of the people existing in the contemporary Euro-Atlantic civilizational circle. This environment creates a person craving for entertaining media genres. These provide them with enormous emotional excitement and transitions into another dimension of life, into a playful media reality.

Celem artykułu jest unaocznienie, w jaki sposób przeszłość historyczna państwa francuskiego mogła być poddawana w grach cyfrowych rewizji. Na użytek badań wykorzystane zostały dwie gry studia Lankhor (Le Manoir de Mortevielle oraz Maupiti Island), zanalizowane za pomocą społeczno-semiotycznego modelu analitycznego Ólivera Péreza-Latorrego, Mercè Oliwy i Reinalda Besalú. Rezultaty badań pozwalają stwierdzić obecność w obu grach odniesień do kolaboracji Francuzów z Niemcami w ramach Państwa Vichy (Mortevielle) tudzież do ludobójczych praktyk kolonialnych wobec tzw. tubylców (Maupiti Island).
The aim of the article is to illustrate how the historical past of France could be revised in digital games. Two Lankhor games (Le Manoir de Mortevielle and Maupiti Island) were used for research purposes, analyzed using the social-semiotic analytical model of Óliver Pérez-Latorre, Mercè Oliva and Reinald Besalú. The results of the research allow us to find in both games references to French collaboration with Germans within the Vichy (Mortevielle), as well as to genocidal colonial practices against the so-called natives (Maupiti Island).

Opis:

W filmach oraz grach cyfrowych dotychczas przeważały dwa stanowiska wobec rozwoju sztucznej inteligencji, portretujące ją jako zagrożenie tudzież obronę przed tym zagrożeniem. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie – na przykładzie gry Event[0] – narodzin nowego paradygmatu w kulturze popularnej, w którym sztuczna inteligencja staje się równorzędnym partnerem wymagającym szacunku ze strony człowieka. Posługując się metodą autoetnografii analitycznej, autor docieka możliwości pogodzenia w kontekście tej gry Heglowskiego, antropocentrycznego humanizmu z prądem posthumanistycznym. Rezultaty badań pozwalają dowieść zarówno postępu technologicznego sztucznej inteligencji w grach cyfrowych, jak i wyłaniania się nowego spojrzenia na relację człowiek-maszyna, pozbawionego protekcjonalności poprzednich dzieł kultury popularnej.
In films and digital games, two attitudes towards the development of artificial intelligence have prevailed so far, portraying it as a threat or a defense against this threat. The aim of the article is to show – on the example of the Event[0] digital game – the birth of a new paradigm in popular culture, in which artificial intelligence becomes an equal partner requiring human respect. Using the method of analytical autoethnography, the author explores the possibility of reconciling, in the context of the game, Hegel’s anthropocentric humanism with the post-humanist current. The results of the research prove both the technological progress of artificial intelligence in digital games and the emergence of a new perspective on the man-machine relationship, deprived of the patronage of previous popular culture works.

Opis:

The article seeks to establish a foundational framework for comprehending crucial definitions and concepts related to auditory space in digital gaming, particularly focusing on audio games designed for visually impaired individuals (VI), often devoid of graphical interfaces. While existing studies often emphasize players’ interactions with interfaces and the acquisition of real-life skills, this text explores audio games through the lens of entertainment and immersion. Numerous studies indicate a demand among visually impaired players for more intricate and challenging games, incorporating elements usually used in standard digital gaming experiences. By combining definitions from both audio and traditional digital games, this article broadens the scope of sound design considerations, encompassing various aspects and classifications. It presents several auditory dimensions, consolidating them into a comprehensive dimension called attenuation, putting their roles within a game’s context. The author is a sound designer currently working on an audio game; therefore, many of the presented definitions are also a guide that will represent some of his own considerations while working on this game. These include not only the use of binaural or ambisonic sound but also understanding the ways and means of how to work with (3D) space in the context of audio and its possible functions.

Opis:

The demands of educational practice are changing alongside our dynamically changing society. It is, therefore, necessary to purposefully and systematically seek ways to motivate, teach, and develop independent thinking among learners. This theoretical study aims to identify and characterize the essential assumptions and reasons for the implementation of digital games into ethical education classes. The fundamental premise is the thematic variability of game narratives, and a fulfillment of the experience attributes through the interactivity both in terms of the direct interactivity of the learner and the medium and in the subsequent discussion as a part of value reflection. Attention is focused on the process of ethical decision-making, ethical dilemmas, and problems that can be identified in many digital games containing at least a basic narrative structure. Interactive narration includes, besides the story itself, the influence of the participant on the further direction of the storyline, allowing players to see the consequences of their individual decisions within simulated situations. The study explores a game principle – the butterfly effect – in the context of ethical decision-making in particular through the game Detroit: Become Human, as well as demonstrates its usability within ethical education classes.

Opis:

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neuro-developmental disorder that starts in childhood and has a persistent pattern of behaviour involving lack of attention and/or hyperactivity-impulsiveness that interferes in social, academic or work processes, or reduces the quality of them. Through activities with games, children and adolescents improve memory, concentration, motor planning and time management skills. According to some studies these may present positive effects for the attention span, executive functions, working memory and other cognitive skills. However, there are few studies that explain their effects. This paper presents a systematic mapping study and underlines the direction taken by the empirical studies undertaken on the use of digital games in treating ADHD and ADD. A total of 12 articles, covering 2005 to 2015, were selected. The research questions behind the study were: RQ1 What particular characteristics have been investigated by researchers?; RQ2 What research methods have been used?; and RQ3 On which game has the study on ADD-ADHD been focused?. There are studies are focused on the risk of addiction, increased attention deficit or behaviour problems and studies evaluating the improvement in executive functions, reduction in hyperactivity and motivation. The research methods used were experimental and exploratory methods. Finally, the digital games are analyzed without distinguishing between the genres and theme of the game.

Opis:

The article explores the notion of replay story by Janet Murray. Replay story – a game telling the story through choices and allowing the player to access all of their outcomes – was supposed to be a step in the process of games becoming the most important narrative medium of a new era. Soon after that, the reasonable critique emerged: not every story can, and should, be told though a replay story. Some can even be highly controversial if told in such form. However, new ways of storytelling through replay emerged in the last years: New Game +, multiple routes that influence one another, games that are conscious of previous playthroughs. Three years ago, Ian Bogost stated that the possibilities of development of narrative games are already played-out; and yet, there still is a chance that replay story is once again a keystone in the evolution of games.
Artykuł opowiada o replay story zdefiniowanym przez Janet Murray. Replay story – gra oparta na powtarzaniu i opowiadająca historię poprzez dostęp do każdego wyboru powodującego rozgałęzienie w jej fabule – miała uczynić gry najważniejszym medium narracyjnym kolejnej epoki literackiej. Szybko jednak pojawiła się uzasadniona krytyka: nie każdą fabułę należy opowiadać z użyciem replay story; szczególnie kontrowersyjne efekty można uzyskać używając jej do opowiadania o sytuacjach granicznych. Wraz z krytyką pojawiły się próby rozszerzenia możliwości narracyjnych gier przez ograniczanie powtarzania; a jednak w ostatnich kilku latach widać powrót do powtarzania jako środka literackiego. Wiele nowych gier oferuje dodatkową zawartość przy ponownym rozegraniu; bywają nawet gry świadome, że się w nie grało i zmieniające swój świat zgodnie z tym, co już w nim miało miejsce. Stąd pojawia się możliwość upatrywania – mimo słów Iana Bogosta sprzed trzech lat, który diagnozuje nadejście kresu rozwoju gier narracyjnych – przyszłości gier, ponownie, w replay story.

Opis:

This paper highlights the manner in which contemporary psychological horror games rely on repetitive storylines and plot twists, resulting in predictability of new titles, and the way in which this negatively affects immersion and players' emotional investment. Through examining the game Blair Witch (2019) developed by Polish studio Bloober Team, and its inclusion of an animal companion, the article demonstrates how shifting the players' affective identification from the avatar to the companion character can cause the players to overlook the shortcomings of the game. At the same time, by juxtaposing Blair Witch with other similar digital game texts, the paper showcases how linearity and reliance on predictable tropes in a game can be masked by the effective inclusion of an interesting companion with appropriate mechanics.
Artykuł poświęcony jest zauważalnej we współczesnych grach z gatunki psychological horror tendencji do polegania na wielokrotnie powielanych strukturach fabularnych oraz wynikającej z tego przewidywalności fabularnej nowych tytułów pojawiających się na rynku, jak również negatywnemu wpływowi tejże tendencji na immersję i zaangażowanie emocjonalne graczy. Poprzez analizę gry Blair Witch (2019) polskiego studia Bloober Team, a w szczególności wprowadzenia postaci towarzyszącej graczowi - psa - do rozgrywki, artykuł objaśnia, w jaki sposób przesunięcie identyfikacji afektywnej z postaci awatara na postać towarzyszącą może sprawić, że gracze nie zwrócą uwagi na słabe punkty gry. Jednocześnie zestawienie Blair Witch z innymi podobnymi grami cyfrowymi pozwala zilustrować to, w jaki sposób włączenie do rozgrywki interesującej postaci towarzyszącej może maskować linearną fabułę i stosowanie przewidywalnych schematów i motywów w grze cyfrowej.

Opis:

In digital games, the player’s activity often includes a necessary repetition to achieve an appropriate knowledge of the game’s mechanics and dynamics. This process can involve various failures of the player. Even if a digital game can be theoretically completed without failures, the player must practically learn from every mistake, which often corresponds to the death of the main character. Every avatar constantly lives in a vulnerable existence that includes its death during the gameplay. If a character can be vulnerable, the player can be inadequate, but digital games always provide a chance of redemption, and a failure becomes a necessary step on the path to further growth. On the basis of various Italian and other international scientific contributions on the themes of failure and death in digital games, the following essay will analyse two different case studies: Dead Cells and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. In these titles, death is not only a necessary part of the gameplay, but it also becomes a focal concept of the storytelling thanks to two different principles which will underline specific modes to emphasize the narrative importance of death and failure in the digital game medium.

Opis:

Most young people living in the world of today do not express much interest in history and historical landmarks. It is therefore quite surprising that specific digital games portraying various historical periods or their alternative, partly fictitious versions might at least raise their players’ awareness of real historical facts and sites. Some of these games have been able to achieve global popularity. The author uses the digital game series Assassin’s Creed (2007 – present day) as an example of a digital gaming environment which features historical fiction merged with real historical events and figures. The aim of the study is to better understand the ways Assassin’s Creed portrays historical landmarks all over the world and bring them closer to the players. The basic assumption is that at least some of the players, here seen as potential “gamers-tourists”, may be interested in finding out more about the depicted historical sites and their true counterparts. Given the aforementioned assumption, our ambition is to discuss the digital game series Assassin’s Creed and its tendency to offer visually attractive virtual re-creations of real historical sites, reflecting on the series’ presumed ability to depict historical landmarks, figures and events in mostly fictitious, but still interesting and eye-catching ways.

Opis:

Intricately concocted temples—seemingly historically accurate down to the pixel—flash across the gamer’s screen, as the player-conquistador re-creates the downfall of the so-called “Aztec Empire,” circa 1521, a keyboard at hand instead of a cutlass. Playing the Spanish Conquest has never been easier or more exciting for the victor. Today’s recreational sundering of Indigenous-American sacred spaces and cultural monuments repeats disturbing patterns in colonialism and cultural imperialism from the Early Modern past (Carpenter 2021; Ford 2016; Mukherjee 2017). What are the lessons gamers learn by reducing digitized Mesoamerican temples, such as the grand teocalli of Tenochtitlan, to rubble? This article explores sacred landscapes, archaeology, and art relating to acts of conquest and sixteenth-century Spanish invasion of Mesoamerica. This study of Mesoamerican sacred environments supports my interpretation that careless approaches to early-modern contexts and virtual geographies created by game designers reduce the presence of Mesoamerican place-identity. I highlight empire-building games based on historical events and situate gaming experiences, old and new, as interventions in sacred architecture. The study draws in ethnospatial considerations of settings and ornamentation to furthering the recent Game Studies critiques on cartographies, narratologies, and play mechanics, here focusing on the geo-spiritual components of playing out aspects of Mesoamerica’s encounters with Spanish military and cultural conflict (Lammes et al. 2018). I reveal the importance of place attachment, ethnohistory, and archaeology in making more meaningful experiences and argue that current art history-adjacent gaming agendas create fun and profit at the expense of iconic structures of Mexico’s heritage, such as the Postclassic single- and double-topped teocalli (temple-pyramids). The final thoughts call for increased interventions from scholars upon developer-player negative feedback loops that repurpose inaccurate mythos from historiography of the “Spiritual Conquest” paradigm.

We present a report from our preliminary research, which focused on the possibilities of implementing game elements into e-learning at university. We were interested in the attitudes and preferences of the students on the introductory course for the study of culture, where a questionnaire survey was conducted. We asked students what potential they see in the application of digital technologies in e-learning, what motivates them to study online and what advantages and limits of the educational principles of games they see in e-learning. Here we offer a description of the preliminary results that led to our next research steps. The questionnaire was distributed among students of two runs of the Introduction to the Study of Culture course at the Faculty of Social Studies of Masaryk University, who completed it after the final test. A total of 188 students submitted a completed form. These were bachelor students, usually in the first year of study, mostly women. We chose a freely available online tool for the analysis, our approach to data processing was non-mathematical at this stage. Nevertheless, we believe that it has enabled us to gain a direct and unmediated insight into the subject of our research. Mixed methods pragmatic rationalization of the research process traditionally refers to the complementarity of datasets and greater validity. Based on the findings, we recommend to educators and developers of the online learning environment how they could improve the design of e-learning in accordance with the needs and different learning styles of students.

Istnienie tego problemu społecznego jest dowodzone za pomocą badań o charakterze jakościowym. W celu wyodrębnienia językowych wyznaczników przemocy z wyartykułowanych podczas gry zachowań werbalnych w badaniach posłużono się analizą i interpretacją wypowiedzi interlokutorów. Wysnute wnioski pozwalają na postawienia tezy o przyczynach popularności gier cyfrowych.
The fact that linguistic violence is a phenomenon characteristic of computer game users has been observed by many researchers, mostly psychologists. They usually express their views on this subject on presumptive grounds. In this article, the author approaches the problem from the linguistic perspective. Analysis and interpretation of the statements of interlocutors is undertaken in order to extract linguistic exponents of violence from the verbal behavior during the game. The conclusions also include claims concerning the rationale behind the high popularity of digital games.

Opis:

Machines have always been a tool or technical instrument for human beings to facilitate and to accelerate processes through mechanical power. The same applies to robots nowadays – the next step in the evolution of machines. Over the course of the last few years, robot usage in society has expanded enormously, and they now carry out a remarkable number of tasks for us. It seems we are on the eve of a historic revolution that will change everything we know right now. But not only robots have an impact on our life. It is digitization in its entirety, including smart applications and games, that confronts us with new spaces. This special volume of Ethics in Progress tries to broaden our understanding of a philosophical field – robots and digitization – that is still in its infancy in terms of it research and literature.

Opis:

This article features an analysis of one of the most prominent books in the development of critical theory on video games: Games of Empire by Nick Dyer-Witheford and Greig de Peuter. Since its publication in 2009 already 8 years have passed. This might seem like a short moment from an academic viewpoint, but its really long, if we consider all the changes happening every day in New Media. This poses two questions: is the content of this book still relevant, and did the passage of time proved it correct or wrong? This article tries to answer these questions, by comparing the arguments from the book (especially concepts like futuristic accumulation) with the actual state of the game industry in a year 2017 (especially issues concerning microtransactions).
Artykuł ten pochyla się nad jedną z najważniejszych książek dla rozwoju perspektywy krytycznej w groznawstwie: Grami Imperium Nicka Dyer-Witheforda i Greiga de Peutera. Od czasu wydania tego dzieła minęło już ponad 8 lat – niewiele z perspektywy akademickiej, długi czas z perspektywy zmian zachodzących w Nowych Mediach. Całkiem uzasadnione są zatem pytania o aktualność treści umieszczonych w książce, oraz o celność zawartych tam spostrzeżeń. Artykuł stara się odpowiedzieć na te pytania, zestawiając przedstawione w książce tezy (w szczególności koncepcję akumulacji futurystycznej) z realnym stanem branży gier z roku 2017 (w szczególności kwestii związanych z mikrotransakcjami).

Opis:

Research on the education of seniors is a continually developing area of educational studies. However, current researchers emphasize the need for further exploration, due to ongoing social and civilizational changes, as well as the fast digitization of society to which seniors are not able accommodate very quickly. The author of this study will present results of research experiment named LoGaSET which is based on comparing two teaching and learning concepts: edutainment and the classic linear way of education. The concept of edutainment (including the use of location-based games as an educational method) is gaining popularity as a form of teaching. However, there are only a few studies verifying the effectiveness of its use. What is especially important, is that location-based games as an educational method are aimed particularly at young learners. Furthermore, it is not used in teaching ICT. That is the reason why the fundamental idea of the LoGaSET project was the creation of a course for seniors in the field of smartphones. This course was conducted using two methods: the class-lesson method and the location-based game method. After creating both didactic models and scenarios and testing them, researchers conducted educational courses for seniors at the local level. As a result, we can now assume some main conclusions regarding education of seniors in the field of smartphones based on the quantitative and qualitative data we observed during experimental teaching.

Opis:

The aim of the article is to discuss the challenges of computer games preservation as a cultural heritage, focusing on the Polish perspective. Computer games are predominantly perceived as ‘new media’, despite the fact that their history dates back to the mid-20th century. It is important to understand that not only the early computer games are already ‘old media’ but all the digital games are. They may be perceived as ‘dying media’ vulnerable to unprecedented obsolescence. The article explores the consequences of digital decay and the notion of original experience in the context of conservation strategies. It suggests that there is still a need for a more conscious inclusion of computer games within the agenda of the Polish heritage institutions.

Opis:

The article is aimed at presentation of the case study in video games creation by Indigenous auteur and designer, Elizabeth LaPensée, which at the same time demonstrates how video games can both mediatize the process of re-writing history and decolonize popular imagination. The analysis of LaPensée’s three games: Invaders, Thunderbird Strikes, and When the Rivers Were Trails to some extent follows her own strategies of self-identification as Anishinabee (Ojibwe). Drawing upon reconfiguration of the auteur theory and the framework of ludostylistics by Astrid Ensslin, we also strive to demonstrate how the notion of a singular author is in fact grounded in collective and collaborative qualities of indigenous digital culture, including digital game design.

Opis:

Advanced terrain models are currently commonly used in many video/computers games. Professional GIS technologies, existing spatial datasets and cartographic methodology are more widely used in their development. This allows for achieving a realistic model of the world. On the other hand, the so-called game engines have very high capability of spatial data visualization. Preparing terrain models for the purpose of video games requires knowledge and experience of GIS specialists and cartographers, although it is also accessible for non-professionals. The authors point out commonness and variety of use of terrain models in video games and the existence of a series of ready, advanced tools and procedures of terrain model creating. Finally the authors describe the experiment of performing the process of data modeling for “Condor Soar Simulator”.

Opis:

Artykuł składa się z trzech części: w pierwszej autorka charakteryzuje przestrzenie cyfrowe z uwzględnieniem podobieństw i różnic względem przestrzeni kinematograficznych. Zwraca przy tym uwagę na swoiste właściwości przestrzeni w grach wideo, tj. ich nawigowalność, wariacyjność oraz modyfikowalność. W drugiej części artykułu została przedstawiona specyfika funkcjonowania użytkownika w przestrzeni digitalnej. Autorka wskazuje, w jaki sposób zastosowanie określonych zasad i mechanizmów rozgrywki oraz podzielenie przestrzeni na mniejsze jednostki (lokacje) wpływa na sposób nawigowania gracza w jej obrębie. Następnie, odnosząc się do typologii przestrzeni cyfrowych zaproponowanej przez Espena Aarsetha, wyjaśnia, jak designerzy gier kształtują przestrzenie semifilmowe. Proponuje w ten sposób określać przestrzenie interaktywne, których twórcy mediatyzują przestrzeń kinematograficzną, a więc zapożyczają jej określone elementy i wykorzystują w grach wideo.
The paper aims to outline features of the semi-filmic space in video games. The term “semi-filmic space” refers to digital spaces which mediate cinematic spaces in video games. The first part of the paper offers a brief introduction concerning multifarious interrelations between film and video game spaces. The author focuses on the way in which players function in digital environments. She explores the issue of navigating in and modifying video game spaces and characterizes various playing mechanisms and structures. The second part of the paper is devoted to the rules which form semi-filmic spaces. The author also presents a typology of digital spaces proposed by Espen Aarseth and indicates how video game designers create multifarious semi-filmic spaces.

Autor analizuje metody kapitalizacji produktywności graczy, takie jak wykorzystywanie nieodpłatnej pracy fanów, stawiając tezę o dostosowywaniu mechanik gier do paradygmatu pracozabawy. Wymienione i opisane zostają mechanizmy modelowania odbioru i dystrybucji gier na przykładzie działania aplikacji Steam oraz metod eksploatacji walutowego domu aukcyjnego w grze Diablo III. Automatyzacja procesu rozgrywki zostaje uznana za najbardziej efektywny model interakcji, wypierający tradycyjnie rozumianą eksplorację i budowanie relacji z innymi graczami.
The article deals with the functioning of the on-line AAAgames in capitalist market circulation, with games understood as productssubject to trade exchange. The author analyzes the method of capitalizationof players’ productivity, such as the use of unpaid digital laborof fans, arguing that the game mechanics are often adjusted to the playbourparadigm. The mechanisms of modeling the reception and distributionof games are listed and described based on the example of Steamand methods of exploitation of the Real-Money Auction House in DiabloIII. Automating the process of the game is considered to be the mostefficient model of play, displacing traditionally understood explorationand interaction with other players.

The aim of this article is to analyze digital entertainment of students from the perspective of computer games. The article is a continuation of research focused on the growing population of computer gamers and competition of different forms of digital entertainment by students. The following work stands for the initial part of more extended research and is focused only on a subset of conditions analyzed. As the baseline for the analysis, the authors used a division of day type characteristic such as workdays and non-working days. The analysis consists of 2 phases: analysis of daily behavior patterns and duration of digital gaming activities across different platforms, the second phase consists of an analysis of other forms of digital entertainment on top of digital gaming. A qualitative study was conducted with a predefined sample of students. The authors also indicated further research ideas to extend the usage of mobile technologies such as smartphones.
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza roli udziału studentów w grach komputerowych na tle innych rodzajów rozrywki cyfrowej.

Opis:

Celem artykułu jest ocena możliwości rozwoju kompetencji przedsiębiorczych dzięki wykorzystaniu innowacyjnej metody nauczania w postaci wirtualnej gry strategicznej. W tej metodzie markuje się samodzielne prowadzenie przedsiębiorstwa w środowisku wirtualnym. Osoby uczące się są stawiane w roli przedsiębiorców, zakładają i zarządzają wirtualnymi przedsiębiorstwami, jednocześnie konkurując z pozostałymi graczami. Badanie przeprowadzono wśród studentów z Polski, Finlandii, Hiszpanii i Estonii, którzy uczestniczyli w rozgrywkach wirtualnej gry strategicznej. Po jej zakończeniu, studenci w badaniu ankietowym określili kompetencje, które mogą się rozwinąć w czasie jej trwania. Zdaniem badanych, w największym stopniu dzięki wirtualnym grom strategicznym można rozwinąć zdolności do podejmowania decyzji, umiejętności pracy grupowej i rozwiązywania problemów. Jednak możliwości rozwoju kompetencji zależą od wcześniejszych doświadczeń z wirtualnymi grami edukacyjnymi oraz od bycia z pokolenia cyfrowo urodzonych.
The aim of the paper is to evaluate the possibilities of entrepreneurial competencies development thanks to the use of innovative teaching tools such as virtual strategic games. This tool puts learners in the position of entrepreneurs who then establish virtual companies and run them during several decision rounds, competing with other companies. This form of education stimulates the management of a company in the virtual environment. The research was conducted among students from Poland, Finland, Spain and Estonia, who attended the virtual strategic game. After the end of the game, they were asked to assess the possible competencies to be developed thanks to participation in the game. According to respondents, the strategic virtual games allow players to develop most their decision‑making skills, team work and problem‑solving skills. It can be seen that the possibilities of competencies development depend on the previous experience of students with virtual educational games and on the degree to which they feel they are digital natives.

Opis:

Serious games have been gaining increasing attention in the field of digital game-based language learning (DGBLL). However, to incorporate serious games into foreign/second language (L2) classrooms, teachers must be prepared with requisite knowledge and skills. To this end, following PRISMA guidelines, this study conducted a systematic review of research on serious digital language learning games with two aims. The main objective of this study was to map out the issues pertaining to serious digital language learning games that are currently being addressed in empirical studies in the DGBLL area. The secondary objective was to leverage the findings to inform the development of a research-based framework of expertise for L2 teachers intending to incorporate serious digital game-based language learning (S-DGBLL) in their classrooms. Fifty articles published until April 2023 were analysed in terms of research methodologies, pedagogical characteristics, game design, and outcomes. The findings have implications for the proposal of an S-DGBLL teacher competence framework.

Gry wideo stanowią obecnie istotny obszar produkcji i aktywności kulturowej ludzi w różnym wieku. Korzystają z nich zarówno dzieci, jak i dorośli, a także seniorzy. Same gry w toku swojej ewolucji stają się medium wieloaspektowym i złożonym – podobnie jak kultura, której są częścią. Ten wieloraki progres opisywanego medium – zarówno w aspekcie jego cech konstytutywnych, jak i jego konsumpcji – powinien zwrócić uwagę osób zaangażowanych w edukację medialną, której zasadniczym celem jest edukowanie o mediach, ich produkcji i odbiorze. W tekście podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie o powiązanie pozaformalnych i formalnych ścieżek edukacyjnych z fenomenem gier cyfrowych. Podstawą prowadzonych rozważań są własne badania jakościowe autora, zrealizowane techniką wywiadu eksperckiego z grupą 21 specjalistów z zakresu: socjologii, pedagogiki, psychologii, medioznawstwa, ludologii, a także edukatorami medialnymi i nauczycielami. Zgromadzony materiał badawczy pozwolił na sformułowanie wniosków na temat obecności gier wideo w przedsięwzięciach edukacyjnych, także szkolnych. Autor zwraca uwagę na problem braków kompetencyjnych zarówno edukatorów, jak i pedagogów – wynikających z ich własnych procesów socjalizacyjnych, które w rzeczywistości szybkich przekształceń sfery mediów mogą łatwo ulec dezaktualizacji. Istotnym kontekstem analitycznym jest też problem peryferyjności i trudności, jakie wiążą się z realizacją zadań edukacyjnych opartych na grach wideo w małych miejscowościach.
Video games represent a significant area of cultural production and activities of people of all ages. They are used by both children and adults, also seniors. What is more, in the process of its evolution the video game is becoming more multi-faceted and complex medium – like the culture of gaming that it creates. This multiple development of the described medium – both in terms of its constitutive features and in its consumption – should be noticed by the people involved in the project of polish media education that aims to educate about the media, their production and reception. This article a empts to answer the question about the connection between non-formal and formal education paths with the phenomenon of digital games. The basis for presented analysis are my own qualitative research, conducted by the expert interview technique with a group of 21 specialists in: sociology, pedagogy, psychology, media studies, ludology, as well as media educators and teachers. Gathered research material became the basis for the conclusions formulated in the text about the presence of video games in educational ventures, as well as the school ones. The author draws the attention to the problem of shortages in competencies for both educators and teachers, resulting from their own processes of socialization which may easily become out of date in the reality of rapid transformation of the media sphere. An important analytical context is also the problem of peripherality and the difficulties associated with the implementation of educational projects based on video games in the areas of small towns and villages.

Opis:

There are two definitions of the term Virtual Reality (VR) according to the VR pioneer, Jaron Lanier. The first definition refers to the visual programming technology (especially in computer games) which uses custom designed tools (like helmets, gloves and glasses) combined with special effects in order to achieve an illusion of physical space. The second meaning of the term VR encompasses all the elements of the „alternative” reality of cyberspace in which people communicate by means of different electronic devices. As such, VR allows those who participate in these interactions to manipulate and multiply their digital selves to such an extent as to loose their actual sense of self. VR technologies are used in a variety of professional capacities such as education, medicine, engineering, architecture and so on. Some negative consequences occur primarily with the overuse of VR for entertainment purposes (such as computer games) and include personality and behavioral changes in younger, adolescent users. There are also larger cultural influences to consider. The mind of a modern user of new technologies cannot keep up with the pace of societal changes, promoting behaviors which hinder communication, mutual understanding and cooperation. VR continues to affect the emotional, behavioral and sensory aspects of the psyche. The invasive persuasion of media and advertising influences people’s habits, opinions and ethics. One of the most disturbing cultural changes is the confusion of public and private spheres, Facebook friends for family and the substitution of cyberspace for home life.
