Abstract:
This paper attempts to propose ergodic as an approach for video game translation. The word approach here refers to an approach for translation products and to an approach for the translation process. The steps to formulate ergodic as an approach are first, Aarseth’sergodic literature is reviewed to elicit a basis for comprehension toward its relationship with video games and video game translation Secondly, taking the translation of Electronic Arts’Need for Speed: Own the City, Midway’s Mortal Kombat: Unchained, and Konami’s Metal Gear Solid, ergodic based approach for video game translation is formulated. The formulation signifies that ergodic, as an approach for video game translation, revolves around the treatment of video games as a cybertext from which scriptons, textons, and traversal functions as the configurative mechanism influence the selection of translation strategies and the transferability of variables and traversal function, game aesthetics, and ludus and narrative of the games. The challenges countered when treating video games as a cybertext are the necessities for the translators to convey anamorphosis, mechanical and narrative hidden meaning of the analyzed frame, to consider the textonomy of the games, and at the same time to concern on GILT (Globalization, Internationalization, Localization, and Translation).KeywordsErgodic ; Translation Approach; Video Game Translation ; Textonomy; Anamorphosis

Abstract:
<em>This research is conducted to determine how music affects the video game experience. Effect of music in video game is considered important in building emotion and scene in video game but always considered below graphics and gameplay importance, moreover they are rarely a scientific approach to prove how music of video game affect its player. This research uses qualitative approach using experimental method; and quantitative approach to further prove the correlation. The experiment uses three games with four music variation, each consisting of 30 participants. The game we used are agar.io, Dots, Typing Challenge. Result of the experiment shows that music is able affects gaming performance is positively depending on genre of video game. Questionnaire response from every participant indicate that music has a strong correlation to video game experience and gamer’s performance. Music affect significantly performance in Games that design to be fast paced and quick reaction; but not really shown in slow paced and tactical approached games. Further study needs to be conducted to see how the video game music affecting player combined with other elements of video game.</em>

Abstract:
Playability is a key concept in game studies defining the overall quality of video games. Although its definition and frameworks are widely studied, methods to analyze and evaluate the playability of video games are still limited. Using heuristics for playability evaluation has long been the mainstream with its usefulness in detecting playability issues during game development well acknowledged. However, such a method falls short in evaluating the overall playability of video games as published software products and understanding the genuine needs of players. Thus, this paper proposes an approach to analyze the playability of video games by mining a large number of players’ opinions from their reviews. Guided by the game-as-system definition of playability, the approach is a data mining pipeline where sentiment analysis, binary classification, multi-label text classification, and topic modeling are sequentially performed. We also conducted a case study on a particular video game product with its 99,993 player reviews on the Steam platform. The results show that such a review-data-driven method can effectively evaluate the perceived quality of video games and enumerate their merits and defects in terms of playability.

Abstract:
With modern video games frequently featuring sophisticated and realistic environments, the need for smart and comprehensive agents that understand the various aspects of complex environments is pressing. Since video game AI is often specifically designed for each game, video game AI tools currently focus on allowing video game developers to quickly and efficiently create specific AI. One issue with this approach is that it does not efficiently exploit the numerous similarities that exist between video games not only of the same genre, but of different genres too, resulting in a difficulty to handle the many aspects of a complex environment independently for each video game. Inspired by the human ability to detect analogies between games and apply similar behavior on a conceptual level, this paper suggests an approach based on the use of a unified conceptual framework to enable the development of conceptual AI which relies on conceptual views and actions to define basic yet reasonable and robust behavior. The approach is illustrated using two video games,RavenandStarCraft: Brood War.

Abstract:
Background. Player-generated reviews of video games represent a large, rich, and under-explored source of data for exploring what makes for an effective game. Aim. We explore whether existing theory, in the form of a comprehensive gaming taxonomy, suitably captures the issues that players raise when they review games. Method. User-submitted game reviews were coded along the dimensions of the comprehensive gaming taxonomy to test the frequency of usage of each dimension. Results. We found some support for the use of the taxonomy, as four of nine taxonomy features were frequently present in game reviews. We also found support for other features of reviews not encapsulated by the Bedwell et al. (2012) taxonomy. Specifically, we found that players often reviewed video games: a) holistically; b) by comparing them to other games, game franchises, and other reviews; and c) by judging the value of games in terms of time, money, and effort. These results have implications for using game reviews for future research.

Abstract:
Due to its affiliation with formalism, ludology, the scientific perspective prioritized in game studies, considers the rule–mechanic binomial to be an essential principle of any scholarly approach to video games. Nevertheless, the limitation of the game system order implies that, as a fundamental part of this epistemological approach, the empirical validity of its methodology is already being rejected. As such, this article attempts to shift the focus away from the rule–mechanic relation, and from a cybersemiotic perspective, to refocus it on a conceptualization of the human–machine relationship. In order to do so, the concept of convolution regarding said relation is defined, including both parts of the video game system in terms of signal processing. Likewise, this model is contrasted with a randomized total sample of 1,200 games ( N = 1,200, n = 300) in order to arrive at a set of conclusions about the behavior of the distinct video game genres in the indicated terms.

Abstract:
This article presents a methodology called “chronotypology” which aims to facilitate literary studies approaches to video games by conceptualizing game temporality. The method develops a comparative approach to how video games structure temporal experience, yielding an efficient set of terms—“diachrony,” “synchrony,” and “unstable signifier”—through which to analyze gaming’s “heterochronia” or temporal complexity. This method also yields an approach to the contentious topic of video game narrative which may particularly recommend it to literary scholars with an interest in the form. Along with some examples from conventional games, a close reading of the “reality-inspired” game Bury Me, My Love will serve to demonstrate the use of a chronotypological approach.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In these last years, video games have become one of the most popular entertainment for children/teenagers/adults thanks to their appealing and seductive features and, in this context, the Serious Games (SG) have become an important research field. The most popular SGs in Cultural Heritage (CH) used the historical building like scenario where the game is playing. In this paper we show the procedure to achieve a CH video game where the Cultural Heritage is the main actor and not the scenario of the game. Furthermore, the game is not a SG but an Action-Adventure Game (AAG) or Survival Game (SuG), in a largest heading it can be classified as Entertainment Games (EGs). The novelty of this study is not only in the original application of the CH within the AAG sector but also consists of the experimentation of the Virtual Reality (VR) algorithm and of the application of Augmented Reality (AR) within the VR scenario used in the form of an avatar. Furthermore, in this paper we overcome the technical problems due to the different size of the environment and the work art.</p>

Abstract:

Video games are very popular among children in the Western world. This study was done in order to investigate if video games had an effect on 49 Swedish students‟ comprehension of English words (grades 7-8). The investigation was based on questionnaire and word test data. The questionnaire aimed to measure with which frequency students were playing video games, and the word test aimed to measure their word comprehension in general. In addition, data from the word test were used to investigate how students explained the words. Depending on their explanations, students were categorized as either using a “video game approach” or a “dictionary approach” in their explanations.

The results showed a gender difference, both with regard to the frequency of playing and what types of games that were played. Playing video games seemed to increase the students‟ comprehension of English words, though there was no clear connection between the frequency with which students were playing video games and the choice of a dictionary or video game approach as an explanation.

Abstract:
Video games are evolving and are becoming ever more immersive. Consequently, it is necessary to understand their effects on gamers’ psychological wellbeing. The impact on cognition, affect and behaviour has mostly been investigated separately and sometimes from narrow approaches that limit the understanding of the video games’ effects. This thesis investigates the effects of playing video games from a novel, multimodal and broad research approach that is termed "Game Transfer Phenomena" (GTP). The Game Transfer Phenomena framework examines the influence of video games on gamers’ sensorial perception, cognitions, and behaviours directly related to video games’ structural characteristic, game content and, in-game activities. A theoretically eclectic approach is taken to explain the interplay of physiological, perceptual, and cognitive mechanisms involved in GTP, mainly informed by socio-cognitive and behavioural theories. Mixed-methods were used in the empirical research. The three qualitative studies presented here were analysed by content and thematic analysis methodologies (n=1,244), and the quantitative online survey using appropriate statistical testing (n=2,362). The specific aims of the thesis were: (i) identify, classify and explain GTP experiences collected in online video game forums divided in three empirical studies, and (ii) investigate the characteristics of GTP, and factors associated with GTP in a cross-cultural online survey with a total sample of English and Spanish Speaking gamers. The results suggest that gamers experience a variety of non-volitional phenomena when not playing. (i) Experiencing thoughts, urges, images, sounds, tactile and kinaesthetic perceptions and sensations associated with the game, (ii) perceiving distorted physical stimuli due to the video game features, (iii) confusing physical stimuli with video game elements, (iv) responding to certain physical stimuli as in the game, and (v) experiencing involuntary body movements and behaviours directly related with the video game. In summary: (i) different gamers reported similar GTP in the same video games, (ii) GTP are in the continuum between normal and pathological phenomena, and appear to reflect failures in cognitive and control inhibition, and neural adaptations, (iii) age and occupation, having a medical condition, gamer type, session length, playing for escape, immersion, exploring, customization and rules and mechanics were significantly associated with GTP, and (iv) the appraisal of GTP were either positive or negative (with one in five players experiencing distress or dysfunction due to their GTP experiences). Findings suggest that resemblances between virtual and physical objects facilitate GTP and these may be strengthened with more advanced technologies. Knowing about particular video game features and their effect on gamers may contribute to taking more informed decisions regarding the psychological, cognitive, physiological and social effects of video games and the technologies that are still to come.

Abstract:
Les jeux vidéo ont prouvé leur valeur en tant que loisir et qu'outil pédagogique, que ce soit dans l'éducation ou dans le monde professionnel. Cependant, les jeux éducatifs doivent intégrer des stratégies pédagogiques et être finement ajustés pour être efficaces, et adoptés. La biologie de synthèse est une discipline émergente d'ingénierie centrée sur la conception de systèmes vivants pour accomplir des fonctions contrôlées. Elle partage des concepts avec les jeux vidéo de crafting et d'ingénierie. Nous avons conçu le premier jeu vidéo de biologie de synthèse, baptisé Hero.Coli, pour la vulgarisation et l'éducation. Pour intéresser et engager les joueurs volontaires et involontaires, c'est-à-dire les internautes lambda et les étudiants, notre principale stratégie est l'utilisation de techniques d'UX et d'apprentissage furtif. Cela consiste à créer un jeu éducatif sans coupure dans l'expérience (phases explicites d'apprentissage ou d'évaluation), par imitation des jeux commerciaux à succès. Les données d'utilisation ont été analysées en continu pour pouvoir améliorer le jeu, en identifiant les problèmes de game design, les mauvaises compréhensions révélées au posttest ainsi que les phases d'apprentissage réussies. J'ai validé l'utilité du jeu en comparant les pré- et posttests des joueurs (n=89). En moyenne, le pourcentage de réponses correctes s'accroît de 32 points de pourcentage par question entre le prétest et le posttest. Les plus grands accroissements se produisent pour les questions de plus haut niveau conceptuel, par opposition aux questions portant sur le lexique. Cela correspond à ce que l'on peut attendre d'un apprentissage furtif, qui met plus l'accent sur le fonctionnement (les mécaniques de jeu) que sur le lexique. J'ai ensuite corrélé différents paramètres des traces des joueurs avec leurs scores de posttest. Enfin, nous avons aussi établi à partir des caractéristiques des joueurs que l'intérêt pour la biologie est plus critique que la formation pour expliquer la variance dans le score. Ces résultats pourraient conduire à des innovations en apprentissage adaptatif comme des retours personnalisés, que ce soit virtuellement ou en présentiel. De façon plus générale, la méthodologie de développement d'Hero.Coli peut servir d'exemple pour le développement futur de solutions d'apprentissage par le jeu : conception, suivi (tracking et analytics), itération rapide et test, et évaluation finale
Video games have demonstrated their value as a hobby and as a pedagogic tool, both in academic and professional fields. However, learning video games have to integrate pedagogical strategies and be fine-tuned to be efficient and adopted. Synthetic biology is an emerging field focusing on engineering living systems to achieve controlled functions. It shares concepts with crafting and engineering games. We designed the first synthetic biology crafting game, named Hero.Coli, for popularization and learning. In order to engage both forced and voluntary users, ie students and citizens, our main pedagogical strategy is stealth learning. This means creating an educational game with no interruption in the experience - due to explicit learning or assessment phases -, mimicking successful mainstream games. I used embedded analytics to continuously refine this new pedagogical tool, by spotting the bottlenecks and issues in level design, the eventual misconceptions revealed in posttests, and the learning successes. I validated the usefulness of the game by comparing pre- and posttests of players (n=89). I found an average of 32 percentage point increase between pretest and posttest correct answer rate per question. The higher achievements stemmed mainly from higher-order thinking questions as compared to lexical questions. This is in line with our expectation from the chosen stealth learning strategy, which prioritizes function - game mechanics - over lexicon. I then correlated different user tracking parameters to their posttest scores. Lastly, by analyzing surveys, we also revealed that interest in biology is more critical than education to explain the variance in learning. These results could lead to future adaptive learning improvements including user-tailored feedbacks, in-game or in-class. Overall, the Hero.coli framework facilitates future implementations of game-based learning solutions by exemplifying a methodological approach of game development: design, tracking and analytics, quick iteration and testing, and final evaluation

Abstract:
The time and money spent on video games are rapidly increasing, as the annual U.S game industry consumer spending has reached 23.5 billion dollars. The cost of producing video game content has grown in accordance with the consumer demand. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been suggested as a way to scale production costs with the demand. In addition to lowering content production costs, AI enables the creation of new forms of gameplay that are not possible with the current toolbox of the industry. The utilization of AI in game design is currently difficult, as it requires both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise. This thesis improved game designer workflow in PCG-based game design by explicating the necessary theoretical frameworks and practical steps needed to adopt AI-based practices in game design. Game designer workflow in PCG-based game design was improved by utilizing the design science research method (DSR). The constructed artefact was determined to be a method in accordance with the DSR knowledge contribution framework, and it was evaluated by using the Quick & Simple strategy from the FEDS framework. The risks related to artefact construction were assessed in accordance with the RMF4DSR framework. The metrics used to measure the performance of the artefact were determined by employing the GQM framework. Finally, the proposed method was evaluated by following it in constructing a simple PCG-based game with an accompanying AI system. The evaluation was performed by utilizing the FEDS framework in an artificial setting. After gathering and analysing the data from the artefact construction and evaluation, the method was modified to address its shortcomings. The produced design method is the main contribution of this thesis. The proposed method lowers the threshold for adopting PCG-based game design practices, and it helps designers, developers, and researchers by creating concrete and actionable steps to follow. The necessary theoretical frameworks and decision points are presented in a single method that demystifies the process of designing PCG-based games. Additional theoretical knowledge has been contributed by studying the topic from a practical perspective and extracting requirements from an actual design process. The method can be used as a practical cookbook for PCG-based projects and as a theoretical base for further studies on PCG-based game design. Future research tasks include evaluating the proposed method in an organizational context with real users. An organizational context also warrants means to managing risks in PCG-based game design projects. Finally, generator evaluation and explicit guidance on generator control are important future research topics.

Abstract:
Due to immense popularity of video games the author investigates the presence of gender portrayal within them. The purpose of this study is to thoroughly analyse a general phenomenon, such as gender, within video games to develop a better understanding of its particularities in this form of media and to expand the general body of knowledge on video games as a research topic. As prior literature shows, gender within video games can be either defined by its biased and sexualized character or by a tendency towards equality and strength for woman. To explain those varied results the author introduces the category of role as an important factor for character representation based on the use of theoretical frameworks of symbolic interactionism, more particularly dramaturgical approach of E. Goffman. She then further proceeds with a qualitative discourse analysis of both protagonist and support characters from 22 different games. The author finds that there is a visible difference within the manners females are presented depending on their role. Lead characters are more likely to be strong, independent and self-sufficient whereas support characters most often require immediate help, are dependent on others and are more likely to be abused. Presented results can account for some of the variety in prior research and they open the field of video game studies to possibly new research topics.

Abstract:
Video games have become the most popular leisure activity among children and adolescents. The increasing popularity of video games has urged researchers to determine the effects of video game playing on youngsters. Given the fact that most popular video games are violent in nature, much of the research has primarily focused on the correlation between playing video games with violent content and aggressive behavior in children. Most researchers have relied on previous media violence research, assuming similarities between television viewing and video game playing. However, video games are interactive media allowing the player to participate in the game scenario, which may intensify the impact of video game playing. Furthermore, the extent of possible influence by a video game may depend on the individual and environmental factors surrounding the player. This study examines the factors involved in video game playing within an interactive communication context. To achieve this goal, symbolic interactionism is used as a theoretical ground to explicate the interactive communication during video game playing. Once the pertinence of symbolic interaction theory to the player-video game interaction is demonstrated, the conceptual framework of symbolic interactionism is applied to video game playing. Based on the previous mass media models and symbolic interactionism, the interactive communication during video game playing is investigated. First, the individual and environmental factors surrounding the player are identified. Second, a theoretical model named "video game interaction model (VGIM)" is developed to examine how these factors affect the interactive communication during video game playing. VGIM illustrates the dynamics of the player-video game interaction and the relations among the variables contributing to this interaction.

In narrative-driven games, the story is an essential part of the gameplay, and understanding the story is of great importance. Given that what separates this genre from other storytelling media is interactivity, this thesis focuses on the elements in narrative-driven video games that effects the players' perception of narrative through interactivity. Using players' likes and dislikes from their previous experiences in narrative-driven games, this thesis aims to develop a heuristic approach for interactive narrative elements that offer the narrative through players' input to the game's system and create an effective gameplay experience that delivers the story to the players.

Abstract:
Exploiter des jeux de données labelisés est très utile, non seulement pour entrainer des modèles et mettre en place des procédures d'analyses prédictives, mais aussi pour améliorer la compréhension d'un domaine. La découverte de sous-groupes a été l'objet de recherches depuis deux décennies. Elle consiste en la découverte de règles couvrants des ensembles d'objets ayant des propriétés intéressantes, qui caractérisent une classe cible donnée. Bien que de nombreux algorithmes de découverte de sous-groupes aient été proposés à la fois dans le cas des données transactionnelles et numériques, la découverte de règles dans des données séquentielles labelisées a été bien moins étudiée. Dans ce contexte, les stratégies d'exploration exhaustives ne sont pas applicables à des cas d'application rééls, nous devons donc nous concentrer sur des approches heuristiques. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons d'appliquer des modèles de bandit manchot ainsi que la recherche arborescente de Monte Carlo à l'exploration de l'espace de recherche des règles possibles, en utilisant un compromis exploration-exploitation, sur différents types de données tels que les sequences d'ensembles d'éléments, ou les séries temporelles. Pour un budget temps donné, ces approches trouvent un ensemble des top-k règles decouvertes, vis-à-vis de la mesure de qualité choisie. De plus, elles ne nécessitent qu'une configuration légère, et sont indépendantes de la mesure de qualité utilisée. A notre connaissance, il s'agit de la première application de la recherche arborescente de Monte Carlo au cas de la fouille de données séquentielles labelisées. Nous avons conduit des études appronfondies sur différents jeux de données pour illustrer leurs plus-values, et discuté leur résultats quantitatifs et qualitatifs. Afin de valider le bon fonctionnement d'un de nos algorithmes, nous proposons un cas d'utilisation d'analyse de jeux vidéos, plus précisémment de matchs de Rocket League. La decouverte de règles intéressantes dans les séquences d'actions effectuées par les joueurs et leur exploitation dans un modèle de classification supervisée montre l'efficacité et la pertinence de notre approche dans le contexte difficile et réaliste des données séquentielles de hautes dimensions. Elle permet la découverte automatique de techniques de jeu, et peut être utilisée afin de créer de nouveaux modes de jeu, d'améliorer le système de classement, d'assister les commentateurs de "e-sport", ou de mieux analyser l'équipe adverse en amont, par exemple
It is extremely useful to exploit labeled datasets not only to learn models and perform predictive analytics but also to improve our understanding of a domain and its available targeted classes.

It concerns the discovery of rules covering sets of objects having interesting properties, e.g., they characterize a given target class. Though many subgroup discovery algorithms have been proposed for both transactional and numerical data, discovering rules within labeled sequential data has been much less studied. In that context, exhaustive exploration strategies can not be used for real-life applications and we have to look for heuristic approaches. In this thesis, we propose to apply bandit models and Monte Carlo Tree Search to explore the search space of possible rules using an exploration-exploitation trade-off, on different data types such as sequences of itemset or time series. For a given budget, they find a collection of top-k best rules in the search space w.r.t chosen quality measure. They require a light configuration and are independent from the quality measure used for pattern scoring. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the Monte Carlo Tree Search framework has been exploited in a sequential data mining setting. We have conducted thorough and comprehensive evaluations of our algorithms on several datasets to illustrate their added-value, and we discuss their qualitative and quantitative results. To assess the added-value of one or our algorithms, we propose a use case of game analytics, more precisely Rocket League match analysis. Discovering interesting rules in sequences of actions performed by players and using them in a supervised classification model shows the efficiency and the relevance of our approach in the difficult and realistic context of high dimensional data. It supports the automatic discovery of skills and it can be used to create new game modes, to improve the ranking system, to help e-sport commentators, or to better analyse opponent teams, for example

Abstract:
The application of PCG to generate puzzles offers great value since their replayability is severely limited, requiring any game that employs them to produce many different puzzles. In this paper we propose a modified version of the progressive content generation approach to function as a mixed-initiative system, to create puzzles for the novel partially physics-based game \textit{Everyone Must Die}. Thus exploring the adaptability and usefulness of the progressive content generation approach for a unique type of puzzle game. Further the mixed-initiative system is explored in relation to how effectively it can generate puzzles with a specified difficulty, an issue many papers exploring puzzle generation neglect. This is explored by implementing and incorporating a PCG system by extending an existing puzzle editor featured in the game. The analysis is conducted with the help of a user study on the developers of the game by testing qualitative experiences with the system. The promising results are then discussed and concluded with suggestions for future work and improvements to the described system and its used approach.

Abstract:
Star Wars has reached more than three generations of casual and hardcore fans alike, and as a result many of the producers of franchised Star Wars texts (films, television, comics, novels, games, and more) over the past four decades have been fans-turned-creators. Yet despite its dominant cultural and industrial positions, Star Wars has rarely been the topic of sustained critical work. Star Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling offers a corrective to this oversight by curating essays from a wide range of interdisciplinary scholars in order to bring Star Wars and its transmedia narratives more fully into the fold of media and cultural studies. The collection places Star Wars at the center of those studies’ projects by examining video games, novels and novelizations, comics, advertising practices, television shows, franchising models, aesthetic and economic decisions, fandom and cultural responses, and other aspects of Star Wars and its world-building in their multiple contexts of production, distribution, and reception. In emphasizing that Star Wars is both a media franchise and a transmedia storyworld, Star Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling demonstrates the ways in which transmedia storytelling and the industrial logic of media franchising have developed in concert over the past four decades, as multinational corporations have become the central means for subsidizing, profiting from, and selling modes of immersive storyworlds to global audiences. By taking this dual approach, the book focuses on the interconnected nature of corporate production, fan consumption, and transmedia world-building. As such, this collection grapples with the historical, cultural, aesthetic, and political-economic implications of the relationship between media franchising and transmedia storytelling as they are seen at work in the world’s most profitable transmedia franchise.

Abstract:
This article appears in theOxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aestheticsedited by John Richardson, Claudia Gorbman, and Carol Vernallis. This chapter examines multichannel sound—specifically 5.1-channel surround sound—in video games, using gaming genres to explore the varying ways that games structure the three-way relationship among a multichannel sound track, onscreen visuals, and the game play itself. This approach uncovers distinct strategies of multichannel usage in platformers, first-person shooters, third-person 3D games, and rhythm games, and shows how these differ from traditional cinematic multichannel uses, especially in the way they problematize the relationship between image and sound. These differing approaches to game aesthetics illustrate different ways of conceiving the relationship among players, their in-game avatars, and the game world, with the sound mixing “rules” programmed into a game revealing the type of immersion and interactivity the game can promote. For example, some strategies reinforce the player–avatar connection, whereas others increase the distance between them. The chapter concludes by considering how industrial and technical factors unique to gaming impact multichannel sound usage.

Abstract:
In video games, \non-player characters (NPCs) are used to enhance the players' experience in a variety of ways, e.g., as enemies, allies, or innocent bystanders. A crucial component of NPCs is navigation, which allows them to move from one point to another on the map. The most popular approach for NPC navigation in the video game industry is to use a navigation mesh (NavMesh), which is a graph representation of the map, with nodes and edges indicating traversable areas. Unfortunately, complex navigation abilities that extend the character's capacity for movement, e.g., grappling hooks, jetpacks, teleportation, or double-jumps, increase the complexity of the NavMesh, making it intractable in many practical scenarios. Game designers are thus constrained to only add abilities that can be handled by a NavMesh. As an alternative to the NavMesh, we propose to use Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) to learn how to navigate 3D maps in video games using any navigation ability. We test our approach on complex 3D environments that are notably an order of magnitude larger than maps typically used in the Deep RL literature. One of these environments is from a recently released AAA video game called Hyper Scape. We find that our approach performs surprisingly well, achieving at least 90% success rate in a variety of scenarios using complex navigation abilities.

Abstract:
Intelligent agents need to be able to make predictions about their environment. In this work we present a novel approach to learn a forward simulation model via simple search over pixel input. We make use of a video game, Super Mario Bros., as an initial test of our approach as it represents a physics system that is significantly less complex than reality. We demonstrate the significant improvement of our approach in predicting future states compared with a baseline CNN and apply the learned model to train a game playing agent. Thus we evaluate the algorithm in terms of the accuracy and value of its output model.

Abstract:
Background and objectives. Video game addiction (VGA) is characterized by a pattern of impaired control gaming behavior, prioritizing gaming over other daily activities and responsibilities. The rapid increases of the VGA rates worldwide advice the urge of new studies focused on examining the existence of differences in the phenotype of patients treatment-seeking due the problematic video game use. Method. Sample comprised n=107 participants recruited at the Pathological Gambling Outpatients Unit of the Bellvitge University Hospital (Barcelona). Mean age was 24.1 yrs-old (SD=10). Most participants were men (91.6%), single (88.8%) and into mean-low to low social position indexes (84.1%). Two-step clustering analysis explored empirical latent groups based on a broad set of indicators, including sociodemographic, psychopathological state and personality traits. Results. Two exclusive groups emerged. Cluster 1 (labeled as moderate maladaptative functioning, n=72, 66.1%), was composed mainly by single, unemployed men, with the younger age of onset, the earlier onset of the video game problematic use, the shorter progression of the problems, better psychopathological state and more functional personality traits. Cluster 2 (labeled as severe maladaptative functioning, n=35, 32.7%), included a higher proportion of not-single and employed women, with an older age, a later onset and a longer duration of the video game related problems, worse psychopathological state and more dysfunctional personality profile. Conclusion. VGA is a heterogeneous group with regard to gambling phenotypes. The identification of the diverse latent classes provide empirical evidence contributing to the conceptualization of this behavioral addition, as well as for developing reliable and valid screening tools and effectiveness intervention plans focused on the precise characteristics of the patients.

Abstract:
The use of statistical and machine learning approaches, such as Markov chains, for procedural content generation (PCG) has been growing in recent years in the field of Game AI. However, there has been little work in learning to generate content, specifically levels, accounting for player movement within those levels. We are interested in extracting player models automatically from play traces and using those learned models, paired with a machine learning-based generator to create levels that allow the same types of movements observed in the play traces. We test our approach by generating levels for Super Mario Bros. We compare our results against the original levels, a previous constrained sampling approach, and a previous approach that learned a combined player and level model.
