Greenberg, Raz. "The Animation of Gamers and the Gamers as Animators in Sierra On-Line’s Adventure Games." Animation 16, no. 1-2 (July 2021): 83–95. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/17468477211025665.

Abstract:
Produced throughout the 1980s using the company’s Adventure Game Interpreter engine, the digital adventure games created by American software publisher Sierra On-Line played an important and largely overlooked role in the development of animation as an integral part of the digital gaming experience. While the little historical and theoretical discussion of the company’s games of the era focuses on their genre, it ignores these games’ contribution to the relationship between the animated avatars and the gamers that control them – a relationship that, as argued in this article, in essence turns gamers into animators. If we consider Chris Pallant’s (2019) argument in ‘Video games and animation’ that animation is essential to the sense of immersion within a digital game, then the great freedom provided to the gamers in animating their avatars within Sierra On-Line’s adventure games paved the way to the same sense of immersion in digital. And, if we refer to Gonzalo Frasca’s (1999) divide of digital games to narrative-led or free-play (ludus versus paidea) in ‘Ludology meets narratology: Similitude and differences between (video) games and narrative’, then the company’s adventure games served as an important early example of balance between the two elements through the gamers’ ability to animate their avatars. Furthermore, Sierra On-Line’s adventure games have tapped into the traditional tension between the animator and the character it animated, as observed by Scott Bukatman in ‘The poetics of Slumberland: Animated spirits and the animated spirit (2012), when he challenged the traditional divide between animators, the characters they animate and the audience. All these contributions, as this articles aims to demonstrate, continue to influence the role of animation in digital games to this very day.

Abstract:
In the video game industry, older adults tend to be avid consumers. Although considerable research has been devoted to the positive cognitive effects of video games, less attention has been paid to the older adult gamer profile. The aim of this paper is to describe a survey conducted from November 2012 until May 2013, which includes 245 gamers aged 50 and over, about their game preferences. Specifically, the authors examined: (a) what types of video games are played and (b) what leads these players to be engaged by video games. The results indicate that adventure games with problem-solving are preferred, suggesting the skills that participants would like to practise. The study provides insight into a new video gamer profile.

Abstract:
Because adventure games can be highly interactive and so absorbing that users commonly spend hours in a session, they are well suited to CALI, as long as the level of language on the screen is low enough and as long as the parser can recognize naturally-formed commands. This article attributes the success of the adventure format to the Input Hypothesis and the Affective Filter Hypothesis and sets up criteria for instructional evaluation of foreign language adventures.

Abstract:
The genre of educational adventure games is a common and successful choice in game-based learning. The games combine captivating narratives that motivate players to continue playing with game mechanics that are conductive to learning: the gameplay is slow-paced, allowing players to learn at their own pace, and focused on puzzles that can be infused with educational content. While educational adventure games are well suited for learning in most settings, their creation is often challenging for non-technical experts. Furthermore, existing game editors do not account specifically for adaptive adventure games, which can maximize the learning effectiveness of the games by catering to the players’ needs. To address these two challenges, we present a game model for this genre and use this model to build an authoring tool that lowers the threshold for adventure game creation and supports adaptive educational games. The implementation of this concept was evaluated in several studies.

Abstract:
A hallmark of human intelligence is the ability to understand and communicate with language. Interactive Fiction games are fully text-based simulation environments where a player issues text commands to effect change in the environment and progress through the story. We argue that IF games are an excellent testbed for studying language-based autonomous agents. In particular, IF games combine challenges of combinatorial action spaces, language understanding, and commonsense reasoning. To facilitate rapid development of language-based agents, we introduce Jericho, a learning environment for man-made IF games and conduct a comprehensive study of text-agents across a rich set of games, highlighting directions in which agents can improve.

Abstract:
In this article we present the textual adventure game as a form of digital ergodic literature, outlining a series of definitions for it and analyzing, from the perspective of the study of literature, the structure of texts in different types of games. We present the adventure text games of programmers W. Crowter and D. Woods, as an innovative form of hypermedia capable of providing subjective experiences, as do traditional narrative structures called literature. The studies of E. Aarseth, K. Veale, O. Laas, etc., analyze the structural patterns of adventure text games and present them stratified (in 4 levels) or systematized (core and shells), emphasizing the literary character of this ergodic form. The games analyzed in this article, DOOM, Quake, ARGs, harmoniously combine playfulness and literature. Is outlined the idea that the study of the adventure text game is possible according to the grids applied to literary texts, to which an adaptation is necessary according to its ergodic character.

Abstract:
Video games are powerful narrative media that continue to evolve. Romance games in Japan, which began as text-based adventure games and are today known as bishōjo games and otome games, form a powerful textual corpus for literary and media studies. They adopt conventional literary narrative strategies and explore new narrative forms formulated by an interface with computer-generated texts and audiovisual fetishism, thereby challenging the assumptions about the modern textual values of storytelling. The article first examines differences between visual novels that feature female characters for a male audience and romance adventure games that feature male characters for a female audience. Through the comparison, the article investigates how notions of romantic love and relationship have transformed from the modern identity politics based on freedom and the autonomous self to the decentered model of mediation and interaction in the contemporary era.

Abstract This paper discusses plot structures and characters of the The Walking Dead TV series which can be traced back to the influence of computer games and gameplay. It shall prove that the series’ narration as a transmedial phenomenon is characterised by ludic logic, although interactive aspects are omitted due to the intermedial change from games to a TV series. The characters’ twin layout as both civilised and archaic, the permanent necessity to make live-or-death decisions, as well as the struggle for survival, simulate aspects of adventure games in particular. The long duration of the series and its repetitive structure rely on PC gamers’ habits.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience reduced balance ability and are prone to fall. As the disease advances with age, the traditional forms of physiotherapy are prone to fail in long-term exercise intervention as patients lose interest in performing the exercises. The use of virtual reality game technology consists of tasks in virtual environments that combine physical and cognitive demands in a fun and motivating manner which leads to adherence in a long-term exercise intervention. The objectives of the study were to know the adherence of Kinect adventure games in individuals with PD by attendance percentage of prescribed sessions and analyse the impact of balance after the games in them. METHODS An experimental study with pre-post design in which 11 individuals were selected, with a mean age of 67.8 years. Home-based balance exercises were given three days a week up to 6 weeks (18 sessions). Kinect adventure games were implemented for another six weeks. Adherence was measured by attendance percentage in terms of the frequency of sessions completed. The secondary outcome measure was to assess balance. Participants were evaluated before intervention and post-intervention using BESTest. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the BESTest scores of pre and post-intervention. RESULTS The adherence percentage of Kinect adventure game therapy was 38 %. The adherence percentage of home-based balance exercises was only 9 %. The best scores improved in home-based balance exercise compared to Kinect adventure game therapy. CONCLUSIONS The participants with Parkinson’s disease did not adhere to Kinect adventure game therapy. For the attended sessions the balance improved for home-based balance exercise compared to Kinect game therapy. KEY WORDS Exercise Barrier, Adherence, Balance Training, Virtual Reality, Video Games

The article discusses the possible perspectives of interdisciplinary research, standing on the border of the study of culture and religion. The author proposes to illustrate the specificity of such interdisciplinary character on the example of manifestation of Western esotericism in adventure computer games of the 90s. In the first part of the article main occulture myths are identified with the help of methodological frame of the part is C. Partridge’s theory of occulture. The author comes to the conclusion that the occulture makes the plot of games commercially successful. In the second part of the article the author refers to the theory of circulation of cultural product, developed by the Birmingham school of culture studies, in order to understand how from a research point of view, it is possible to use the knowledge of the deep occult influence on the industry of adventure games. The article discusses in detail the three phases of circulation: production, consumption and identity. The author concludes that occult plots and elements of computer games are secondary in relation to movies and literature, but this secondary character also provides them with the commercial success determined by recognition and justification of expectations of players.

Abstract:
Applying geographical knowledge in new contexts is a creative and difficult task for school pupils. However, creating text adventures with the open-source tool Twine may be one way to apply geographic knowledge, but there is currently no research that confirms this. We attempted to determine how pupils in small groups constructed text adventures in geography lessons, focused on the topic “Tourism in Myanmar: threat or opportunity”. We recorded the construction processes of 14 pupils audibly, organized into six teams, and analyzed their games. We found that the different text adventure construction activities between the groups had minimal differences. The groups predominantly asked questions and expressed ideas that used meta-conversation for organization and used agreements. These and other text adventure construction activities can help to specify a model of collaborative creativity. In addition, successful groups wrote geographical narratives with adverbs to emphasize the psychological proximity, rhetorical questions and feelings in their stories, and used more words than the others. The results suggest a focus of future research should be on developing a model for integrating geographical narrative skills into geography lessons and intensifying research about collaborative creativity.

Abstract:
This paper presents a study of the most successful games during the last 34 last years (1986 – 2019). We observed that the 100 most ranked games are represented by 16 genres (adventure, role-playing, shooter, platform, puzzle, strategy, hack and slash/beat 'em up, real time strategy, turn-based strategy, point-and-click, indie, racing, sport, fighting, arcade and simulator). These genres are then compares to show which genres are more attractive for players. As a result, we observed that 6 genres among the 16 represent the most ranked games (adventure, RPG, shooter, platform, puzzle, and strategy). They represent 0.83 of the successful games. This allowed us to recommend to combining the others genres with the 6 selected genres. Also, we analyzed the evolution of the 16 games genres during the last 34 years. We observed that some genres have a great success until the past decades, but they haven’t a success in this decade. Game designers and researchers in the field of games may rethink about how to add attractive elements in the genres non-successful in this decade. Also, we observed that some genres like the indie games haven’t a great success in the past decades, but they have an important increased success in this decade. This may encourage the decision makers and the game designer to invest on these genres.

Abstract:
Educational games display great potential as an active form of knowledge transfer. This research field is young, but some patterns in educational game development can be recognized. In this paper, the authors present a new approach to educational game development that overcomes some downsides of more traditional systems. The paper provides the opportunity to create an educational adventure game by using specialized software tool as well as integrating knowledge in that specific game instance. As a result of that process, game definition is created as a form of XML document. On the other side, a web-based interpreter is used to present the adventure game to user in runtime. XML format provides us with platform independency. By use of this tool, the educator gains the ability to create an educational game without programming knowledge, and to reuse some previously created knowledge.

Abstract:
Games are a means of entertainment that are in electronic media such as smartphones that are made as attractive as possible so that players get inner satisfaction. The development of the game industry is growing quite fast from mobile to desktop. There are many categories of games such as action, strategy, sports, shooter, adventure and simulation. Adventure games are one category of games where players are trained to think in order to complete the game. There are many things that need to be considered, such as visuals on maps or interactions with NPCs (NonPlayer Character), by utilizing technology now learning can be delivered through a game. The characteristics of entertaining games and interesting visual activities will make learning more attractive. Making games will of course use algorithms as features or systems in game making. The a-star algorithm is one that is widely used in making maze games. The a-star algorithm can be applied to the help of the fastest path or movement of the NPC. The purpose of the research is to make a maze educational game using the a-star algorithm as the fastest path search and NPC movement. The test results on games on seven devices got the results that they were successfully run, in CPU usage on mobile devices a minimum of 7% and a maximum of 57%. CPU usage on desktop devices is a minimum of 2% and a maximum of 33%.

Abstract:
Research on players’ reasons for video gaming, their video game preferences, and the behavioural effects of video gaming on the players tends to study those issues separately. This study attempts to explore all those issues collectively with the aim of facilitating game designers to develop appealing educational games for university students without inflicting negative behavioural impacts on the students. Relevant data from 100 undergraduates were collected from an online survey. Cluster analysis of the eight major reasons for playing video games resulted in grouping the respondents into five clusters. The cluster that rated peer effect as the major reason for playing is male-dominated whereas the cluster that rated family influence as the major reason is female-dominated. A similar analysis of the respondents’ video game genre preferences reveals that the cluster favouring fighting and battle games is male-dominated, whereas the cluster favouring family entertainment games is female-dominated. Both genders enjoy playing challenging adventure-strategy games. Most respondents perceived that their cognitive functioning had improved through video gaming, but no conclusion can be drawn as to whether video gaming can improve their social and psychological functioning. Except for poor sleeping habits, most respondents had not experienced any significant negative effects from playing video games. No statistical evidence supports that playing violent video games would induce aggressive behaviours. As games that involve a high demand for players’ motor skills may not be a good choice for educational games and violent games may induce poor sleep quality, it is concluded that challenging adventure games and strategy games are suitable educational game genres for undergraduate students.

Abstract:
With the development of technology every time, the development of media for learning is also overgrowing. Many new media are popping up especially digital-based media, ranging from images, audio, and video. All of that media has been widely used by teachers to get students excited about what they will learn in class. However, the longer these media feel boring for students, the teachers also have to twist their brains to find new media, one of which is video games. Several studies have looked into the influence of adventure video games on learning English; however, few studies have looked into the effect of adventure games on learning English. This study aimed to see how video games affected students' reading comprehension of narrative text. The study consisted of 50 students from SMA Negeri 1 Kebomas Gresik in tenth grade. X-IPS 1 and X-IPS 2 were the class examples. The impact of video games can be reflected in the multiple-choice scores of students. The author used a quantitative procedure and quasi-experimental design as the analysis methodology with a purposive sampling approach. A multiple-choice test was used as the testing tool. The findings in this study explain that video games do not significantly impact students but only increase the motivation of students to learn and entertain students only

Abstract:
Videogames have become educational, communicative and social tools among the young, favouring the acquisition of skills, abilities and values, encompassing an endless number of themes, and helping them to experience and to face, in the first person, a great diversity of environmental situations and ecology problems. Thus, the present article aims: (a) to evaluate a sample of 20 educational videogames about water, making use of some empirical criteria of quality; and (b) to design, validate and apply an integrated quality indicator of educational videogames on water, based on the aspects of narrative, gameplay and education, which allows us to obtain a ranking. The findings reflect a ranking of games allowing us to suggest that the nature of the game (simulation, adventures, platforms or questions) does not determine the quality of the game, although generally simulations and adventure games are placed in a range of medium- or high-quality, as well as those games that pursue objectives related to the design and management of a territory in a sustainable way. The paper provides teachers with quality criteria based on narrative and gameplay that complement and enrich the pedagogical dimension.

Abstract:
There is no doubt that games are a big part of the technology that is experiencing rapid development. Many people think that games are only entertainment in their spare time, but during the development of technology, games are also included in the category of learning media. Games are often used as simulation media in large companies and developing companies, not only on a company scale but in education they can also use games as an alternative media for limited learning facilities, as well as tools and materials owned by these educational institutions. In this study, the author will try to make a game that functions not only as an entertainment medium but also as learning for all people, especially students in the field of science to improve skills in the field of physics. The game that the author wants to make, elements in the game are not fixated by learning like in class in general, but the author provides a challenge in the game in the form of exciting adventures so that the game players consciously or unconsciously can learn the physics of the science-packed in the game.

Abstract:
Interactive media board games reflect a changing media culture. Converging media text and technology with game play mechanics and rules, these board games exist as a hybrid form of game and media. In this article, I examine interactive paratextual board games – games based on media products that utilize other forms of media to produce random or immersive experiences. While previous discussions of media franchising investigates game paratexts through industrial and economic shifts, I explicate aesthetic, ludic, and textual concerns of cult franchises through an analysis of three interactive board games, namely, Isaac Asimov’s Robot VCR Mystery Game, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive VCR Board Game, and the Indiana Jones DVD Adventure Game. Ultimately, I argue that these interactive paratextual board games manifest, reflect, and augment early convergence culture characteristics, revealing that interactive board games exemplify contemporary new media characteristics.

Abstract:
Most game-designers likely stick to the assumption that background music is a design feature for fostering fun and game play. From a psychological point of view, these (intuitive) aspects act upon the intrinsic motivation and the flow experience of players. However, from a pure cognitive perspective on instructional design, background music could also be considered to be redundant information, which distracts from learning. The presented study investigated the influence of background music (present vs. not present) within an educational adventure game on motivational (intrinsic motivation, experienced flow) and cognitive variables (cognitive load, learning success). The results suggest a high motivational potential of background music. However, neither positive nor negative effects on learning were detected. Thus, background music can be considered as a motivating design element of educational games without negative side-effects on learning.

Abstract:
In this article we examine location, space and spatial representation in two classic adventure games belonging to the same game series: Gabriel Knight Sins of the Fathers, a one screen at a time point-and-click adventure and Gabriel Knight Blood of the Sacred Blood of the Damned, a 3D game. Our aim was to see if the changes in the audiovisual representation of the gamespace in the 3D game would affect gameplay or whether gameplay and representation are independent entities, as some researches have proposed. What we found was that location and space are experienced differently in the 3D game. Furthermore we found that players of the game series had to learn a new visual grammar to bring the 3D game to a successful end. We will therefore propose that gameplay and the representation of gamespace are linked; perhaps even to such an extent that some types of games benefit from a particular audiovisual representation.

Abstract:
Along with the development of advanced gaming technology, we can play the game with so many tools or platforms such as console games, PC games, mobile games and handheld games. The disadvantage of those games is the difficulty to connect additional sensors to the PC computer. Large power requirements will also be a constraint. Besides, the size of the PC could be a weakness that makes it difficult to carry and play anytime. Raspberry is a small computer that can be added with motion detection sensors. By using the raspberry, the researchers managed to create a game "Crows Adventure" that uses motion detection sensor as the controller. Some of the sensors used in the game is UDS Sensor ( Ultrasonic Sensor disctance ) and touch sensors are applied to smarthphone to control the game. This allows the use of sensors in making more varied games by using raspberry devices.

Abstract:
One of the difficulties in physics learning is the low motivation to learn because physics materials are considered complex, boring, and abstract for students. Therefore, this research developed an Augmented Reality (AR)-integrated game application "Adventuring Physics" based on android that can create more fun physics learning and provide concept visualization on abstract materials so that they become easier for students to understand. This study aims to develop a valid and practical application of Adventuring Physics games on physics learning. This research uses Research and Development (R&D) design to develop the application. This application has two main features: 'play games' and 'augmented reality'. Furthermore, the game's concept in this application is adapted to the physics materials. Meanwhile, the AR feature in this application can create visualizations in the form of 3D image projections of the material. The results of the validity assessment show that this application is declared valid, feasible, and reliable. In addition, the results of the practicality assessment show that this application is very practical. Thus, the app is worth applying in physics learning. This research has implications as an application of Adventuring Physics that can motivate students to learn physics, apply digital technology in education, and apply it to physics learning.
