Jeu vidéo « expérimental »? : l’expérimentation vidéoludique théorisée en arts, en sciences et en design, et pratiquée dans la création de l'album musical vidéoludique HoverboyAidyn, Jesse 08 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire s’intéresse à la notion d’expérimentation en jeu vidéo pour jeter un éclairage conceptuel productif sur le terme vague « jeu vidéo expérimental ». Postulant que le jeu vidéo s’inscrit à la fois dans le domaine des arts (par l’entremise de la création de composantes visuelles, audio ou narratives par exemple), des sciences (notamment parce qu’il dépend de l’avancement des nouvelles technologies numériques) et du design, l’auteur s’inspire des formes variées et parfois distinctes d’expérimentations à travers l’ensemble de ces domaines afin de décrire non pas une méthode expérimentale unique, mais un espace vaste composé de multiples démarches expérimentales. L’auteur montre finalement comment l’on peut réfléchir l’espace expérimental d’un jeu en s’inspirant de la systémique, puis relève quelques formes et figures expérimentales uniques aux domaines ludiques et vidéoludiques.
Ce mémoire inclut aussi un compte rendu rétrospectif de création ainsi que quelques réflexions autour d’une oeuvre développée par l’auteur tout au long de sa recherche, l’album musical vidéoludique pour ordinateur Hoverboy. D’abord imaginée comme une oeuvre foncièrement expérimentale, l’auteur revient sur son processus de création et recadre sa démarche en fonction de ses réflexions théoriques autour de la notion d’expérimentation vidéoludique. Cette double démarche de recherche et de création menée en parallèle ouvre des réflexions méthodologiques sur la recherche-création. / This thesis examines the notion of experimentation in video games to shed a productive conceptual light on the vague term “experimental video game”. Postulating that video games are simultaneously part of the arts (through the creation of visual, audio, and narrative components for example), sciences (notably because it relies on technological advancements), and design, the author leans on by the varied and sometimes distinct forms of experimentation across all these fields in order to describe not one singular experimental method, but a vast space which consists of multiple experimental approaches. The author finally shows how we can contemplate the experimental space of a game by drawing inspiration from systems theory, then identifies some unique experimental forms and figures in games and video games.
This thesis also includes a retrospective creation report journal as well as some observations on a work developed by the author throughout their research, the computer-based videoludic music album Hoverboy. First imagined as a fundamentally experimental work, the author looks back on their creative process and reframes their approach regarding their theoretical observations around the notion of video game experimentation. This dual approach of research and creation carried out in parallel leads to methodological discussions on research-creation.

Defining a new Game Genre : Ontological approach to identify and define a new genre of gamesLarsson, Andreas January 2023 (has links)
This thesis investigates the genre classification of Vampire Survivors-like games, focusing on "Vampire Survivors" by Poncle (2021, poncle). The objective is to define their genre and explore the possibility of a new genre creation. The research comprehensively examines genre origins, classification approaches, and significance from design, marketing, and consumer perspectives. Vampire Survivors and similar games have gained prominence, but their genre remains uncertain. Elements align with Action Roguelike and Bullet Hell, yet definitive classification proves elusive. This study analyzes gameplay mechanics, design elements, and experiences to compare with established genres.The research provides insights for game developers seeking design patterns and helps players find suitable games. It contributes to the understanding of emerging game genres, promoting innovation in the gaming industry. Using a systematic methodology, this thesis establishes a coherent genre framework. Finding scontribute to genre discussions and inspire future research in this evolving field.

GAYME: The development, design and testing of an auto-ethnographic, documentary game about quarely wandering urban/suburban spaces in Central Florida.Moran, David 01 January 2014 (has links)
GAYME is a transmedia story-telling world that I have created to conceptually explore the dynamics of queering game design through the development of varying game prototypes. The final iteration of GAYME is @deadquarewalking'. It is a documentary game and a performance art installation that documents a carless, gay/queer/quare man's journey on Halloween to get to and from one of Orlando's most well-known gay clubs - the Parliament House Resort. "The art of cruising" city streets to seek out queer/quare companionship particularly amongst gay, male culture(s) is well-documented in densely, populated cities like New York, San Francisco and London, but not so much in car-centric, urban environments like Orlando that are less oriented towards pedestrians. Cruising has been and continues to be risky even in pedestrian-friendly cities but in Orlando cruising takes on a whole other dimension of danger. In 2011-2012, The Advocate magazine named Orlando one of the gayest cities in America (Breen, 2012). Transportation for America (2011) also named the Orlando metropolitan region the most dangerous city in the country for pedestrians. Living in Orlando without a car can be deadly as well as a significant barrier to connecting with other people, especially queer/quare people, because of Orlando's car-centric design. In Orlando, cars are sexy. At the same time, the increasing prevalence in gay, male culture(s) of geo-social, mobile phone applications using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and location aware services, such as Grindr (Grindr, LLC., 2009) and even FourSquare (Crowley and Selvadurai, 2009) and Instagram (Systrom and Krieger, 2010), is shifting the way gay/queer/quare Orlandoans co-create social and sexual networks both online and offline. Urban and sub-urban landscapes have transformed into hybrid "techno-scapes" overlaying "the electronic, the emotional and the social with the geographic and the physical" (Hjorth, 2011). With or without a car, gay men can still geo-socially cruise Orlando's car-centric, street life with mobile devices. As such emerging media has become more pervasive, it has created new opportunities to quarely visualize Orlando's "technoscape" through phone photography and hashtag metadata while also blurring lines between the artist and the curator, the player and the game designer. This project particularly has evolved to employ game design as an exhibition tool for the visualization of geo-social photography through hashtag play. Using hashtags as a game mechanic generates metadata that potentially identifies patterns of play and "ways of seeing" across player experiences as they attempt to make meaning of the images they encounter in the game. @deadquarewalking also demonstrates the potential of game design and geo-social, photo-sharing applications to illuminate new ways of documenting and witnessing the urban landscapes that we both collectively and uniquely inhabit. 'In Irish culture, "quare" can mean "very" or "extremely" or it can be a spelling of the rural or Southern pronunciation of the word "queer." Living in the American Southeast, I personally relate more to the term "quare" versus "queer." Cultural theorist E. Patrick Johnson (2001) also argues for "quareness" as a way to question the subjective bias of whiteness in queer studies that risks discounting the lived experiences and material realities of people of color. Though I do not identify as a person of color and would be categorized as white or European American, "quareness" has an important critical application for considering how Orlando's urban design is intersectionally racialized, gendered and classed.

Good GameBlake, Greyory 01 January 2018 (has links)
This thesis and its corresponding art installation, Lessons from Ziggy, attempts to deconstruct the variables prevalent within several complex systems, analyze their transformations, and propose a methodology for reasserting the soap box within the display pedestal. In this text, there are several key and specific examples of the transformation of various signifiers (i.e. media-bred fear’s transformation into a political tactic of surveillance, contemporary freneticism’s transformation into complacency, and community’s transformation into nationalism as a state weapon). In this essay, all of these concepts are contextualized within the exponential growth of new technologies. That is to say, all of these semiotic developments must be framed within the post-Internet sphere.
