Paperback. Condizione: New. This book helps readers better understand their own relationships - as players, designers, consumers, and citizens - with digital role playing games. "Dungeons, Dragons, and Digital Denizens" is a collection of scholarly essays that seeks to represent the far-reaching scope and implications of digital role-playing games as both cultural and academic artifacts. As a genre, digital role playing games have undergone constant and radical revision, pushing not only multiple boundaries of game development, but also the playing strategies and experiences of players. Divided into three distinct sections, this premiere volume captures the distinctiveness of different game types, the forms of play they engender and their social and cultural implications. Contributors examine a range of games, from classics like Final Fantasy to blockbusters like World of Warcraft to obscure genre bending titles like Lux Pain.Working from a broad range of disciplines such as ecocritism, rhetoric, performance, gender, and communication, these essays yield insights that enrich the field of game studies and further illuminate the cultural, psychological and philosophical implications of a society that increasingly produces, plays and discourses about role playing games. "Approaches to Digital Game Studies" examines the medium of digital games and brings together a range of voices from different disciplines to ask questions fundamental to game studies. This innovative series advances ongoing conversations and initiates new areas of inquiry in the field. Each volume consists of a collection of essays organized around a single ludic, functional or thematic genre of digital game.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This collection expands the analytical framework of digital games by exploring them through the lens of genre analysisthe evaluation of the structural designs that provide the framework for the players experience. Each chapter in this volume attends to a unique game genre that is newly emerged or revisited, and often new under-addressed in critical scholarship to theorize where games are situated currently and establish new ground in Game Studies for the future. As video games continue to dominate the media landscape, understanding the structure and form of games is increasingly important. Despite the fluid nature of genre, there remains an intellectual and ideological power for understanding the connective tissue of game genres as creative artifacts through their relational iterations. This volume extends these ideas by considering the current framework for game genres, highlighting the additions and evolutions of the last decade. Each section in this collection revisits the idea of genre as a flexible dynamic to capture the iterative quality of the work by signaling things that exist currently, tracing their emergence and evolution, and theorizing what such affordances might mean for the future. The first section considers emerging genres as a function of the material conditions of play, and the game experience. The second section examines many of the formal/mechanical elements used to identify genres, highlighting the emergence or evolution of forms that are unique to the current landscape of games. The final section explores the function and construction of genre as affective, highlighting the expressive and persuasive potential of games to shape the audience. This collection explores digital games through the lens of genre analysis to establish where games are currently and establish new ground in Game Studies for the future.
