Abstract:

Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction that incorporates retro-futuristic technology and aesthetics inspired by the XIX century industrial steam engines. The combination of futuristic technologies and Victorian epoch aesthetics has turned out to be a fascinating theme for both developers and players. Such things as abundance of small details, use of specific materials to create the texture of mechanized characters, their clothing and appearance can refer to the attributes of steampunk aesthetics. Steampunk is a very specific style that performs an im-portant plot-forming function, but in t

Abstract:

Computer games, which have become widespread in the modern cultural space, reflect many phenomena of the real world, the reality surrounding a person, and even aspects of an individual's self-representation. The most important characteristic, finding its representation in a computer-game narrative, is the gender of the characters. In addition, in modern games there is also reflection on the problem of gender. Many modern games try to capture the complexity of the gender image, the correlation between gender and the game world, the presence of stories of world culture in the gender image, mytho

The fundamental source of the reflection make up the theoretical-empirical data referring to a phenomenon, which in the era of technological progress is of particular importance: the phenomenon of screen time. Besides defining the key term screen time refers to all activities done in front of a screen. This includes: using a computer, watching TV, playing video games (Kaneshiro, 2015), the paper provides an overview of research results concerning the opportunities and threats arising from the use of new media, as well as recommendations for education on the need for media literacy among the yo

Abstract:

This research aims to establish the primary drivers influencing the development and consumers’ decision-making process in web3 games—decentralized games that function according to the play-to-earn paradigm. We observe several types of micro-economies developed within five play-to-earn games and highlight four roles consumers play at any given time. Our study offers a different perspective on rational consumer behaviour in cryptocurrency-based games and paves the way to better understanding their dynamics and evolution. Results shed light on the construction of in-game economies and how individ

The game is the most necessary part of the universal and national culture, the basis of the ethical and aesthetic development of objective reality. In this regard, all the peoples of the world have generally accepted norms for the prohibition of gambling, in particular, the religions of the East consider it as a serious problem in the perfection of the individual.

Background. Taking Klabbers’ call for a coherent game science as a starting point, we argue for an alternative way to approach the multidisciplinarity of research into games. Aim. Building on game studies and design research, this article reviews the history and forecasts the future of studying games. Application. All scholars of games could benefit from an awareness of the works of other game scholars in different traditions. The plurality of approaches towards games is an intellectual strength, even if it is difficult for a single scholar to maintain a holistic grasp on research relating to

Abstract:

Russian and foreign studies suggest that there is a significant increase in the use of computer programmes by preschool children, and that children are generally introduced to computers at a much younger age, practically in their first months of life. Even though the majority of sociological studies show that computer technologies are in high demand by small children and their parents, psychological exploration into this phenomenon is both insufficient and contradictory. Some researchers argue that computer games have a destructive effect upon the child’s development, while others present data

Abstract:

The teaching of industrial relations in Australia is a fairly recent phenomenon, principally developing over the last twenty years. Consequently it is only recently that the 'academic infrastructure'—viable industrial relations departments, a range of literature, a choice of texts and journals—has developed to enable the subject to become an identifiable area of teaching. As a result it is not surprising that the use of computers in teaching industrial relations is not well developed when compared with other disciplines, such as economics, management and accounting where games, simulations and

This may indicate another qualitative transformation of video games as a socio-technical and socio-cultural phenomenon, as well as about the positive cultural and intellectual dynamics of the modern “consumer society”. Computer video ga
