Wir versuchen eine Brücke zu schlagen zu Hayao Miyazaki, der sich in seinen Zeichentrickfilmen von Studio Ghibli mit dem Menschen und der Natur auseinandersetzt. Und wir gehen ohnehin ausführlicher auf die Kultur Japans, auf einige Merkmale, aber auch gegenwärtige Probleme ein und sprechen schließlich über Videospiele wie Shenmue.

Complexity, Controversy, Creativity: The History of the Roguelike Genre

university history game games creativity controversy named rogue complexity perspektive innsbruck roguelike game studies

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 6, 2024

Named for their similarity to the 1980 video game Rogue, ‘roguelikes' have one of gaming's richest, most interesting histories, represent one of gaming's most enduringly popular genres, and one of its most enduringly influential in terms of game design. The roguelike's history stretches back to the earliest days of video gaming but also continues to affect a tangible influence on modern gaming in the form of ‘roguelite' games, which are directly inspired by roguelikes.This episode investigates the history of the roguelike genre and how this history is told, concentrating on three particularly illuminative aspects of the discourse surrounding it which I will discuss under the headings of complexity, controversy, and creativity. The history of the roguelike genre is the history of a type of game designed around a particular set of gaming preferences which favour high complexity, high difficulty, deep strategy, and a punishing learning curve, and prioritize gameplay at the expense of aesthetics. But so complicated are roguelikes that their history cannot be told without mentioning the markedly intense, detailed, fractious, 40-year long debate which has raged in the fan community over the meaning of its own genre label. Out of this debate, a set of design principles and game mechanics emerged as definitive of older, traditional roguelikes such that the history of roguelikes is one of a prolific, diverse hotbed of creativity deliberately constrained by a certain design philosophy.The most recent chapter in this history are ‘roguelites', which take direct inspiration from roguelikes but take a freer, less constrained and more modernized approach to their creativity with roguelike mechanics. Roguelites creatively remix the mechanics associated with traditional roguelikes, blending them with other genres, and implementing modernized graphics and design techniques.This episode is based on a talk presented at a game studies conference at the University of Innsbruck in 2024, presented with the same title.

En el episodio de esta semana, que coincide a propósito con la víspera del día de los Santos (de Muertos en México) y, por consiguiente, con la Noche de Halloween, vamos a profundizar en algunos de los aspectos conceptuales que dieron lugar a diseños sonoros tan fascinantes e innovadores en su tiempo como son los que se aplicaron a las dos primeras entregas de la saga Silent Hill. En este programa, recorremos la vida de Akira Yamaoka, el autor del apartado sonoro al completo en todas las entregas de Silent Hill hasta “Revelations”. De igual modo, reflexionamos brevemente sobre qué impacto tiene el diseño musical en la desorientación del individuo cuando este debe valerse de las señales acústicas para avanzar por un terreno que le está vedado a la vista. Véanse, las neblinosas calles del tenebroso pueblo de Silent Hill. Pero además, hablamos sobre la cuestión del tiempo; sobre cómo las señales acústicas pueden distorsionar la percepción temporal del jugador durante la partida. Algo realmente terrorífico en juegos del género survival horror. Ya en la última sección del episodio, ofreceremos una perspectiva un tanto arqueológica sobre el sonido de Silent Hill: tratamos la cuestión de los ya descatalogados CD`s de samples que contuvieron los sonidos que identificamos con una estética afincada en la década de 1990. Por último, pero no por ello menos importante, como es habitual Pablo Naop nos acompaña con un Covermanía que pone el mundo patas arriba… Como casi todo lo que ocurre en Silent Hill. ¿Nos acompañas?

Yet, given my steadfast interest in unconventional treatments of normally conventional subject matters as well as my overall interest in the period of time encompassing the 1970s into the 80s I don't think there is a better guest for our podcast than Nooney, nor a more appropriate book than his. Although their work is both intellectual and social history of a kind, aesthetic issues are equally at play, both in the sense of their being an era of tech prior to the present one, as well as the creativity of individual tech people, some of whom are wonderfully portrayed by Nooney.

In the Preface to his book Keywords: a vocabulary of culture and society, Williams envisaged not a static dictionary but an interactive document, encouraging readers to populate blank pages with their own keywords, notes and amendments. “Keywords in Play” follows Williams in affirming that “The significance is in the selection”, and works towards diversifying the critical terms with which we describe games and game culture.” Please consider supporting Critical Distance at https://www.patreon.com/critdistance Interviewer: Mahli-Ann Butt Production Team: Darshana Jayemanne, Emilie Reed, Zoyander Street Audio Direction and Engineering: Damian Stewart Double Bass: Aaron Stewart Special Thanks: Hugh Davies, Chloe Yan Li

In this episode of Speaking Of... Tom Cunneff, College of Charleston Magazine editor talks to Navid Hashemi and Sarah Schoemann, computer science professors about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT and what this means to higher education. "It's revolutionary," says Hashemi who compares the development in technology to the Industrial Revolution. "In the industrial revolution, we tried to replace our muscles with robots or tools. But here, the systems are trying to help our brain to make better decisions and somehow make our life easier. If the paradigm shift is exponential in the next in the next few years, I believe that we are going to see a lot of new advancements in many different fields, in drug discovery, in music, in art, in robots, social living, driving and self driving."One of the biggest questions and hottest debates is how these large language models will change higher education and whether educators should embrace or ban AI from classrooms. "I think it's a technology that you really need a nuanced approach to," says Schoemann. "Ultimately, the idea of banning it outright will fail because students are savvy, and trying to ban any technology from students is never really the right move. But I'm not sure that it needs to become the center of the classroom."Featured on this Episode: Sarah Schoemann is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science, she received her PhD from GA Tech in 2021. At College of Charleston she is the director of the Critical Art and Technology Lab or CATLab. She primarily teaches courses in the CS department's Computing in the Arts or "CITA" program, which combines the study of the arts with computation. Trained as both a fine artist and a researcher in the field of Human Computer Interaction and Game Studies she is focused on the design and evaluation of new technologies such as games and interactive experiences with a focus on how creativity, and playfulness can have real-world impacts. She is particularly interest in the implications of technologies for critically engaging with broader social questions regarding justice, equity and inclusion.Navid Hashemi is the director of the graduate program in Data Science and Analytics at the College of Charleston. He joined the Computer Science department in 2020 as an assistant professor and founded the Data Mining and Connectivity (DMC) research lab. He is an active researcher in spatiotemporal data mining, machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT) analytics, and crowd-sensing.
