Playing in 7D An Action-Oriented Framework for Video Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Grounded on a perspective in which action is a defining trait in video games, this work proposes the development of an action-oriented framework focused on the analysis of the relationships between the player and the game system centred on the existence of actors, which we define as entities responsible for the actions that affect the game – a category in which the player and the game system are included. We describe the grounding principles of this framework as focused on a transformation [...]

X-PO 2089 - Découverte d'un jeu PlayStation inédit (Billet de Blog)

L'histoire du jeu vidéo regorge de titres oubliés. En général, il s'agit de projets annulés avant que leur développement ne soit terminé. Mais parfois, il arrive que des jeux tout à fait complets se voient privés d'une sortie commerciale. On parle alors d'un jeu "unreleased", qui attend patiemment que des historiens ou collectionneurs révèlent leur existence aux yeux de tous. Aujourd'hui LudoScience est h [...]

Jogos sérios para reabilitação cognitiva (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Abstract  Rehabilitation can be defined as a process devised in response to unplanned life changes imposed by diseases or traumatic accidents. Cognitive rehabilitation is a form of therapy, focused on restoring functions that remain partially intact, applied to people with some form of cognitive impairment such as memory loss.

Design and Development of Effective and Customizable Educational Business Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Despite the vast literature, the domain is still in its infancy and scattered. Serious games offer great opportunities for le [...]

The Game Genre Map: A Revised Game Classification (Diffusion de nos travaux)

The existing common video game genres lack clarity as well as consistency and thus cannot serve as a solid reference to inform the research on digital educational games (DEG), which are increasingly used as learning tools. To address this basic issue of game classification, we have developed a web-based survey to collect data on how people play and perceive video games that they know well. The survey is grounded in our Game Elements-Attributes Model (GEAM). 321 valid responses were analysed usin [...]
