Abstract

This article is a continuation of the idea about developing a gaming prototype generator from natural language text. Game balance theme, which mentioned in previous authors' papers, fully opens up from theoretical and practice standpoints. Many expert opinions and definitions were analyzed to understand the identity of that problem. As a result, a full understanding of the problem was formed and challenges were listed, which exists in this direction. The purpose of the research is automation of game-designers routine in the prototyping stage. For this, the problem of generation of game balance from text documents is solved, so a number of scientific papers are considered, which offer algorithms, optimizing and automating approaches and computer games balance. The functionality of the dynamic balance editor Machinations is presented in detail, and the principle of operations is illustrated. To check the availability of approaches in the overall collection of the prototype generator work, a number of experiments were provided. They prove effective work with exhaustive diagrams and saves important development team resources. In addition, a particular problem of formalization and visualizing connection between gameplay and plot was solved, which is justified by the context dependence of the game balance. In conclusion, plans for the further development of a full-featured tool for the game scriptwriters and designers are given. As a conclusion, we state that automatic correction of the game balance is possible as well as its generation based on text.

Инструментальная база органических процессов в кино и компьютерных играх
Svetlana Martynova, Denis Bugaev

Международный журнал исследований культуры. №1 (34) , 2019

В современности проблема рефлексии органического состоит в обнаружении его в различных областях жизни: в культурных ландшафтах, технической реальности, оптике камеры, в пространстве осетевленного и оцифрованного жизненного мира. Значение органики как инструмента или того, что снабжено инструментами, в историческом плане оказалось практически утрачено, однако сейчас наблюдается ре актуализация этого значения. Репрезентацию инструментальной базы органического (ИБО) мы рассматриваем на материале продукции, касающейся темы выживания людей на планете Марс. В центре внимания находятся: фильм «Марсианин» (The Martian, 2015, режиссер Ридли Скотт), сериал «Марс» (Mars, 2016, 2018, создатели — Бен Янг Мейсон, Джастин Уилкс) и компьютерная игра «Выживание на Марсе» (Surviving Mars, 2018). Эти произведения, являясь независимыми проектами, опираются на близкий визуальный ряд, предполагают сходные условия пребывания героев на Марсе и техническую среду. Мы приходим к выводу, что в современности компьютерные игры определяют «чувство жизни» человека. Культура больше не находится в оппозиции к природе. «Первая» природа есть культура в той степени, в какой она способна инструментально поддерживать органические процессы. «Вторая» природа также утрачивает свое первоначальное значение. Она отождествляется с органическими процессами, которые для своего осуществления нуждаются в инструментальном сопровождении. Происходит возвращение смысла органики как инструмента. Для того, чтобы организм функционировал с помощью инструментальной базы, она должна быть подобна ему, взять на себя часть его функций.

Psychological master form of computer games
Ирина Кыштымова

Social Psychology and Society, 2019

The article presented the rationale and description of a universal classification model of computer games. The basis of its development was the principle of systematic and psychosemiotic approach that afforded considering both semantic and syntactic (formal) features of a game as factors mediating its effect on gamers. A computer game came under consideration as a system entity whose classification profile took shape following unique combination of thirty-four components that were interconnected in the manner of mutual cooperation. They combined into seven levels, two of which were: the game-play and setting — attributed to the fundamentals inherent to any game, while five were variable: the narrative, semantic, personal, communicative and ethic. Criteria to determine intensity of manifestation of the described components in a game that served as the basis for its expert evaluation, were presented. The results of investigation of «The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt» computer game were quoted....

(Анти)утопично въображение и трансхуманизация във видеоигрите [(Anti) Utopian Imagination and Transhumanization in Video Games]
Miglena Nikolchina

Piron, 2019

The conversation traces the various forms, in which the relationship between video games and utopian imagination expresses itself: the thematizations of utopia (and dystopia) in video games, the utopian dimensions, related to the psychological effects, activated in the player through the interactions with gaming systems, as well as some more general socio-political aspects of video games and gaming. Along with this, it tries to make sense of the resonances in video games of the fate of utopian projects in post-communist Eastern Europe and in the West, comments on the aspects of the narrative organization of video games and its symbolic value, as well as highlights the intersections of games with the issue of transhumanism.

Video Game Art Styles / Видеоигровые изобразительные стили
Irina Shedko, Художественная Культура

Шедько И.И. Видеоигровые изобразительные стили // Художественная культура. 2021. № 4. С. 382-395. https://doi.org/10.51678/2226-0072-2021-4-382-395

The article examines the graphic styles that have arisen in the video game industry due to the technical features and development of this media. These styles are widely used and starting to go beyond the industry into the field of contemporary art. Despite the fact that pixel art is mainly used in the creation of video games, it has already become an independent form of visual style. Contemporary artists such as the Russian digital artist and designer under the pseudonym Uno Morales and the artist Natalya Struchkova turn to the pixel style when creating their works. Like the pixel art, voxel graphics has moved into the category of the game visual style, which employs an impressive community of digital artists. Low рoly graphics have modified from the main graphics of three-dimensional games, which look technically imperfect, into the category of an artistic style that forms a recognizable, attractive and unique geometric aesthetics of the image. We can trace the transformation of video game graphics, which have arisen as a result of technical constraints, into separate art styles: pixel art, voxel art, low рoly style, the minimalist style of the first classic video games. These styles are gradually becoming an independent visual unit that does not depend on the video game product as a whole. / В статье рассматриваются графические стили, которые возникли в видеоигровой индустрии вследствие технических особенностей и развития данного медиа, широко применяются и начинают выходить за рамки индустрии в область современного искусства. Несмотря на то что пиксельная графика чаще всего используется при создании видеоигрового произведения, она уже стала самостоятельной формой изобразительного стиля. К пиксельному стилю все чаще обращаются современные художники: российский диджитал-художник и дизайнер под псевдонимом Уно Моралес, художница Наталья Стручкова. Как и пиксельная, воксельная графика перешла в разряд игрового изобразительного стиля, и уже можно встретить диджитал-художников, которые работают с вокселями при создании своих произведений. Low poly графика модифицировалась из основной графики трехмерных игр, выглядящих технически несовершенно, в разряд художественного стиля, формирующего узнаваемую, привлекательную и уникальную геометрическую эстетику изображения. Можно проследить путь трансформации видеоигровой графики, возникшей в результате технических ограничений, со временем в отдельные художественные стили: пиксель-арт, воксель-арт, стиль low poly, минималистичный стиль первых классических видеоигр. Область применения данных стилей расширяется, они становятся самостоятельной изобразительной единицей, не зависящей от видеоигрового продукта в целом.

A structural information method is developed here that describes the successive stages of the algorithms necessary for structural information processing in the devices, through a formal presentation of information about the network. Following this, a description is given of the information structures of transients in the network and high-voltage equipment networks. A numerical evaluation is carried out of the sufficiency of the amount of signal information for automatic decision-making on disconnecting a damaged network segment. The task is set in a series of previous works, based on the results achieved in improving recognition algorithms and structures of protection devices against single-phase earth faults in networks with a Petersen coil. This article proposes a numerical definition of the equilibrium point between selectivity and blocking using game theory. A comparison is given of the results and the published solution using dynamic functional modelling. Keywords — relay protection, automation, smart grid, protection against single-phase earth faults, semantic signal, structural-information method.

Mythological Structures in Video Games: Archetypes
Daniil Baturin

Vestnik Tomskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta. Kul'turologiya i iskusstvovedenie, 2019

The relevance of studying mythological structures in video games is due, on one hand, for the development of game studies, on the other hand, for the process of modern culture digitalization, in which myth acquires special significance explained by the blurring of real and virtual boundaries. We understand myth as a significant cultural reality associated with an existential human need for understanding and structuring reality, shaping a picture of the world and determining a person’s place in it, constructing identity, social order and value-semantic foundations of one’s own existence. A modern person exists under the influence of many dissimilar mythological constructs. Today, media mythologize reality, fix key media images in the minds of the audience, reproduce mythologemes and archetypes. Video games as interactive media are more capable than old media to immerse a person into the space of myth. We explore video games as a form of modern mythology. The purpose of this article is to study such universal mythological structures as archetypes and how they are represented in video games (using games in fantasy, action and adventure genres as an example). In the process of research, we rely on the archetypes proposed by C.Vogler: hero, mentor, threshold guardian, herald, shapeshifter, shadow, trickster, ally, since most of the images encountered in the hero's journey belong to these archetypes. The main results of the research: it was revealed that, firstly, the hero's archetype is the foundation of any plot-oriented video game; secondly, monomyth in video games is reduced: the initial and final stages of monomyth are usually omitted; thirdly, the image of the hero in video games has similar characteristics with the image of the mythological hero; fourthly, all archetypes are represented in the video games studied, and the archetype of the threshold guardian, the ally, and the shadow are the most common of them. We have concluded that the archetypes as archaic mythological structures and universals of the collective unconscious are fully represented and function in the figurative system of video games. This confirms that archaic mythological semantics does not disappear; myth and archetypes continue to be present and function in modern culture, covered with new clothes of interactive media. Despite the fact that video games feature fictional virtual worlds, they are fully capable of providing cathartic experiences to players. Moreover, it is video games where a player becomes not only an observer, but also a performer of a hero's journey, which leads to spiritual transformation.

Heroic Dimension and Monomyth in Video Games
Ekaterina Galanina

Vestnik Tomskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta. Kul'turologiya i iskusstvovedenie, 2019

Актуальность исследования обусловлена незримым и вместе с тем тотальным присутствием мифологического в постнеклассической культуре. Видеоигры открывают новые возможности конструирования мифологических реальностей, которые еще не осмыслены. Целью данной статьи является исследование образа героя и его путешествия (мономифа) в видеоиграх и тех особенностей, которые они приобретают в связи со спецификой медиума. Основные результаты исследования: на основе анализа характеристик образа мифологического героя и повествования о нем выявлена специфика героического в видеоиграх, которая заключается в его демократизации и процессуальности. Трансформация образа героя и мономифа в современных видеоиграх приводит к тому, что каждый из нас может быть героем, а вернее, им постоянно становиться.

Игра как метод гармонизации противоречий с целью превращения их в движущую силу развития, часть 1 (Game as a method of contradictions harmonizing in order to turn them into a driving force of development, part 1)
Eugene Popov, Julia Gumanovskaya

The article discusses various methods of contradiction resolving, with particular emphasis on the “gaming” method. It provides distinction between “contradiction” and “conflict” notions. It also describes the role of conflict as one of the most important elements of an interdisciplinary business game (IBG) on sustainable development.

Игра как метод гармонизации противоречий с целью превращения их в движущую силу развития, часть 2 (Game as a method of contradictions harmonizing in order to turn them into a driving force of development, part 2)
Eugene Popov

The article clarifies the distinction between “contradiction” and “conflict” notions (proposed in its first part) based on conflictological works of P.G. Kuznetsov, L. Kriesberg, J.W. Burton et al. It reviews the options of monitoring the achievement of interdisciplinary business game (IBG) remote sub-goal — formation of a new way of thinking among its participants. In addition, the article proposes IBG invariant in LT-dimension — as a basis for constructing a system of parameters for evaluation of the IBG process and results, as well as a foundation for the model of in-game interactions between its participants.
