Serious Games ou comment sont détournés les jeux vidéo (Broacasting our studies)

Presentation of the revue  Par rapport aux enjeux concernant les objets numériques de l'univers des jeunes, notre parti-pris habituel, notre réflexe, est d'abord d'avoir une approche souvent exclusive d'éducateur, et ce, non sans raisons. L'intérêt de cet article, à partir de l'exemple des serious games, est de vouloir situer ces enjeux, des points de vue à la fois du concepteur marketing de "produits à consommer" et de l [...]

A Gameplay Definition throught Videogame Classification (Broacasting our studies)

This paper is part of an experimental approach aimed to raise a videogames classification. Being inspired by the methodology that Propp used for the classification of Russian fairy tales, we have identified recurrent diagrams within rules of videogames, that we called “Gameplay Bricks”. The combinations of these different bricks should allow us to represent a classification of all videogames in accordance with their rules. In this article, we will study the nature of these bricks, es [...]

Classification des serious games (Broacasting our studies)

This article proposes to focus on the various types of Serious Games. Inspired by the video games, we find a great diversity of applications. We propose a classification within Serious Game while differentiating them from simulations for the moment. The question of the link between the initial intention of the game designer and the part played by the implementation of objectives gives us an Ariadne’s thread to be unrolled. The posture adopted by the player particularly in simulations const [...]

Morphologie des jeux vidéo (Broacasting our studies)

This paper is part of an experimental approach aimed to raise a classification suited to videogames. According to the methodology that Propp used for its classification of the Russian tales, we have found recurring diagrams within the rules of videogames. We named these recurrent rules "GamePlay bricks", as the combination of those bricks seems to be an interesting way to classify video games. In this article, we will study the nature of “GamePlay bricks”, especially the li [...]

The nature of Gameplay: a videogame classification (Broacasting our studies)

This paper is part of an experimental approach aimed to raise a videogames classification. Being inspired by the methodology that Propp(3) used for the classification of Russian fairy tales, we have cleared out recurrent diagrams within rules of videogames, named "Game Bricks". The combinations of these different bricks will allow us to represent a classification, in accordance to their rules, of all the videogames. In this article we will study the real nature of these bricks, [...]
