News Document Actions hc11: Rune Klevjer Genre Blindness by tanya krzywinska last modified Genre blindness Rune Klevjer Department of Information Science and Media Studies, University of Bergen There is a curious lack of genre studies in our field, which strikes me as a bit of a missed opportunity. It means that variation, tension and significant detail too easily fall below the radar of academic game studies. It also means that we are less able to bridge the gap between the very specific and the very general, and less able to describe the connections between aesthetic convention and social practice. Compared to other media, the dominance of generic categories is unusually strong across the practices and discourses of computer game production and consumption, often in strikingly rigid ways. Nevertheless, there is not much dedicated attention to genre in academic game research. One reason may be that computer games are not ‘media’ in the way that books or films are media, and as such do not easily conform to traditional models of literary or cinematic genre. However I still think that as a whole, we should be paying more attention to mechanisms of generic difference than we are doing at the moment. Our object of study covers an extraordinary variation of interactions, technologies and meanings. How can we expect politicians, businesses, teachers and journalists to recognise the potential of this diversity if we are not ourselves able to describe it?

Fun is Fine Toward a Philosophy of Game Design David Ethan Kennerly, 22 June 2003. This is by no means the philosophy of game design, but these notions may help an aspiring game designer before he begins his work and in reviewing not just his work but the fitness of his goals. Toward a Philosophy of Game Design What is the Sound of One Hand Designing? A Unique Medium ... Endnotes What is the Sound of One Hand Designing? "[Do not] mistake yourself for an 'artist.' Our goal is to create newer and more fun games. Art is not our goal." Tetsuya Nomura, Final Fantasy character designer The Entertainment versus Art debate flares perennially. These participants may be having fun, but the dichotomy is uniquely inappropriate to games. For example among MMORPGs, to Jessica Mulligan, fun subsumes art ; whereas, to Raph Koster, art subsumes entertainment. I will challenge the dichotomy itself. Crafting fun is the art of the game. To paraphrase Stephen King: Put your game design desk in the corner to remind yourself every day that Art supports Life, not the other way around. By the end of this article, we may disentangle the faulty dichotomy. After reconsidering what we think we know about a game, fun, and art we may come to discover that Nomura

Joystiq: So - We've read your manifestos, and we've linked to them on occasion from Joystiq. They're on-target and do a good job of summarizing what many of our readers have been feeling for quite some time: that the current distribution model doesn't really serve gamers' best interests. How did we get to this point? Greg Costikyan: In part, I suppose it's a result of the maturation of the industry-rising development costs breeding increasing publisher conservatism. But I also think it's a consequence of a failure of imagination on the part of people on the business side of things

Toward Games that Matter The Promise and Problems of the Storygame By Jimmy Maher Archon). Developers flocked to EA, attracted by its dedication to innovation and by its penchant for treating them like true artists. Most early EA games featured a color photo of its development team, often taken by rock music photographers. The musical motif extended even to packaging. Each game was shipped in a flat, rectangular box whose resemblance to an album cover was hardly accidental (Hunter). Perhaps these determined grasps at hip cachet were a bit strained, but in its first ten years of existence EA undeniably produced many of the most innovative and fondly remembered computer games of the era in a wide range of genres. As goes EA, so goes the videogame industry as a whole. Every year brings endless iterations of the same tired ideas, and a quantity of interesting titles that can generally be counted on one hand. The situation cannot be written off as the kvetching of a handful of old-timers lamenting the loss of the good old days and failing to understand the realities of business, for many respected industry insiders also see the problem. Chris Crawford, veteran designer of such groundbreaking titles as the Cold War geopolitical simulation Balance of Power and author of the seminal text The Art of Computer Game Design Murdey ). Thirty year after first entering the home, videogames remain overwhelmingly concerned with escapist themes that carry little real world relevance. Designer John
