Description<\/h2>\n

Game Studies<\/em><\/a> is a playable “intro to game studies” manual. Discover the magic circle! Re-live the famous narratology-ludology debate! Impress your friends by using terms such as “ergodic literature” correctly!<\/p>\n

Context<\/h2>\n

For our first collaboration, Pippin Barr<\/a> and I have chosen game studies themselves as topic. Video games have been a legitimate academic subject for nearly two decades. Since designers\/developers such as ourselves have managed to find a place in University, wasn’t it time to write knowledge in our own language–video games? Game Studies<\/em> is a (somewhat) procedural (though mostly satirical) presentation of a few famous concepts such as Huizinga’s magic circle, Espen Aarseth’s “ergodic literature”, or psychologist Cs\u00edkszentmih\u00e1lyi’s inevitable “flow”.<\/p>\n

Featuring<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Fashionable ludological concepts<\/li>\n
  2. Mysterious abstract landscapes<\/li>\n
  3. (Literally) total immersion<\/li>\n
  4. Solid academic references<\/li>\n
  5. Brandon Massey, as seen in Police Quest IV<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    Description<\/h2>\n

    \u00c9tudes du jeu<\/em><\/a> est un manuel jouable d\u2019introduction aux \u00e9tudes vid\u00e9oludiques. D\u00e9couvrez le cercle magique ! Revivez le fameux d\u00e9bat entre narratologues et ludologues ! Impressionnez vos amis en employant correctement des termes tels que \u00ab litt\u00e9rature ergodique \u00bb !<\/p>\n

    Contexte<\/h2>\n

    Pour notre premi\u00e8re collaboration, Pippin Barr<\/a> et moi avons choisi les \u00e9tudes vid\u00e9oludiques elles-m\u00eames comme sujet. Cela fait d\u00e9j\u00e0 une quinzaine d’ann\u00e9es que le jeu vid\u00e9o est devenu un sujet l\u00e9gitime d’\u00e9tudes universitaires. Puisque des designers\/d\u00e9veloppeurs tels que nous avons pu trouver notre place \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9, n’\u00e9tait-il pas temps d’\u00e9crire la connaissance dans notre propre langage–le jeu vid\u00e9o ? \u00c9tudes du jeu est, en quelque sorte, une pr\u00e9sentation \u00ab proc\u00e9durale \u00bb (et quelque peu satirique) de certains concepts c\u00e9l\u00e8bres tels que le cercle magique de Huizinga, la litt\u00e9rature ergodique d\u2019Espen Aarseth, ou l\u2019in\u00e9vitable \u00ab flux \u00bb du psychologue Cs\u00edkszentmih\u00e1lyi.<\/p>\n

    En vedette<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Des concepts ludologiques au go\u00fbt du jour<\/li>\n
    2. Des d\u00e9cors abstraits et myst\u00e9rieux<\/li>\n
    3. Une immersion (litt\u00e9ralement) totale<\/li>\n
    4. Des r\u00e9f\u00e9rences acad\u00e9miques solides<\/li>\n
