Attack of the Screen Scrollers - a new game is released! (Blog post)
Again, I participated in the Ludum Dare 31 competition, where you have to create a game all by yourself in 48h on a given theme. This time, it was "Entire Game on One Screen." The game is called "Attack of the Screen Scrollers". It's a top-down shooter, where you'll have to protect the background image of your single game screen against the deadliest enemy of pixels: scrolling! "Screen Scrollers" will invade the screen border, and force the image to scroll towa [...]Keywords : ludum dare 31, entire game on one screen, experimental game
Attack of the Screen Scrollers (Videogame)

Also, this image is your only ground, so you'd better protect it if you don't want to be "scrolled away" too!Use the arrow keys (or WASD) to move, and click on the "Screen Scrollers" to shoot them with your laser. You'll earn points for each kill, so aim for the high score! (my personal record is 1292 points) IMPORT [...]Keywords : ludum dare, entire game on one screen, experimental gameplay

Mise en jeu de la production aux usages d?un jeu sérieux. Le cas d'une entreprise du secteur du jeu vidéo (Broacasting our studies)
The differences between game and labor are culturally defined. According to places and cultures, those activities are similarly described as rational layouts of resources to achieve some specific goals, by following rules located into well-structured environments – although more and more complex and less defined. For all that, despite of the proximity of these abstract concepts, the process of gamification promotes a brand new model of engagement into the activity, inviting workers to expl [...]Keywords : gamification, Ludification, Gameplay, Labor, Serious games, Activity, Cooperation
