Blending in Hybrid Games: Understanding Hybrid Games Through Experience
2016
The meaning of what hybrid games are is often fixed to the context in which the term is used. For example, hybrid games have often been defined in relation to recent developments in technology. This creates issues in its usage and limitations in thinking. This paper argues that hybrid games should be understood through conceptual metaphors. Hybridity is the blending of different cognitive domains that are not usually associated together. Hybrid games usually blend domains related to games, for example digital and board games, but can blend also other domains. Through this type of thinking, designers can be more open to exploring how their games can be experienced.
Differences in Immaterial Details: Dimensional Conversion and Its Implications for Protecting Digital Designs Under EU Design Law
2021
AbstractThe paper considers three main questions: the legal status of digital designs from the perspective of EU design law, whether the protection is tied to the reproduction of physical products, and whether the scope of protection covers dimensional conversion such as using a 3D design in 2D form or vice versa. There are two sets of views regarding dimensional conversion: the “abstract” and the “concrete” view. These two different attitudes towards the scope of protection influence the manner in which the protectability of digital designs is assessed. In the “abstract” protection, it would not matter whether a product only exists as a digital image and not as a physical shape. In the “co…
Game Mechanics in the Design of a Collaborative 3D Serious Game
2014
Background. This article investigates the potential of utilizing game mechanics in designing 3-D serious games for Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) and attempt to produce new information about designing collaborative serious games. Aim. This article has two aims: first, to clarify how theoretical knowledge of collaborative learning was related to game design in previous studies; and, second, to design a collaborative serious game based on theoretical knowledge of collaborative learning and game design. Results. The reviewed studies revealed the potential of using collaborative games in education. However, they showed that collaborative learning games were typically designed …
HTML5 monialustaisessa pelikehityksessä : kaksiulotteiset minipelit Phaser-pelimoottorilla
2015
Mobiililaitteiden yleistyessä videopelien pelaamiseen on tarve pelien helpommalle kehitykselle ja levitykselle kasvanut. HTML5 on avoin web-standardi, joka mahdollistaa monialustaisen multimediasisällön näyttämisen suoraan Internet-selaimissa. HTML5:n avulla voikin olla mahdollista luoda pelejä, jotka eivät kärsi natiiviohjelmien tavoin yhteensopivuus- tai asennusongelmista. On kuitenkin oletettavaa, ettei HTML5 ja siihen sidoksissa olevat tekniikat tai sitä tukevat Internet-selaimet ole vielä täysin valmiita kaikkiin web-teknologian asettamiin haasteisiin, mutta sitä voitaneen kaikesta huolimatta jo käyttää täysin pelattavien ajanvietepelien toteuttamiseen. Tämä tutkielma tutkii monialusta…
HR scenario game : Learning human resource management in a virtual environment
2021
This paper introduces a computer-based online scenario game that was developed to enhance the learning of human resource management (HRM) in an undergraduate course at a business school in Finland. What makes this game unique is that students played an important and active role in developing the game in collaboration with lecturers. Our findings show that the game enhances learning, interaction, and collaboration among students. We discuss how computer-based games and their development in collaboration with students can be used as a means for learning and improving working-life skills in higher education.
How to Raise Different Game Collaboration Activities : The Association Between Game Mechanics, Players' Roles and Collaboration Processes
2018
Background. Designing collaborative three-dimensional (3D) learning games is one way to enhance the quality of learning and respond to the needs of working life. However, there is little research on how to apply different game mechanics to support different educational aims.Aim. This study determines how game mechanics implemented within computer-supported collaboration roles (scripted vs. emergent) are associated with the emergence of collaboration.Method. The research at hand applies both qualitative and quantitative content analysis. The target group consisted of 15 vocational school students. The data were gathered by recording the groups’ discussions and saving the game logs. A total o…
Virtuaalihyödykkeiden myynnin huomioon ottaminen pelisuunnittelussa
2016
Tutkielma käsittelee virtuaalihyödykkeiden myyntiä ja siihen vaikuttamista pelisuunnittelun avulla. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää virtuaalihyödykkeiden ostokäyttäytymistä ja löytää keinoja, joilla pelisuunnittelu voi tukea virtuaalihyödykkeiden myyntiä ansaintamallina. Tutkimus toteutetaan kirjallisuuskatsauksena käyttäen virtuaalihyödykkeiden ostokäyttäytymistä ja myyntiä sekä pelisuunnittelua käsitteleviä tutkimuksia. Virtuaalihyödykkeiden ostokäyttäytymistä kuvataan pelaajien asenteiden, ostomotiivien ja virtuaalihyödykkeiden ominaisuuksien kautta. Pelisuunnittelun keinoja vaikuttaa virtuaalihyödykkeiden myyntiin kuvataan niiden kysyntään vaikuttamisen, asiakkuussuhteiden muodos…
Suorituskyvyn parantaminen reaktiivisella funktio-ohjelmoinnilla tehdyissä peleissä
2017
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tavoitteena on tutkia, miten suorituskykyä voi parantaa reaktiivisella funktio-ohjelmoinnilla tehdyissä peleissä. Tutkielmassa tuotettiin suunnittelutieteen menetelmien mukaisesti IT-artefakti, jolla pystyy rinnakkaistamaan peliobjektien päivityksen reaktiivisella funktio-ohjelmoinnilla tehdyissä peleissä. Suorituskykymittausten perusteella IT-artefakti paransi mittauksessa käytetyn testipelin suorituskykyä. Improving performance in games made with functional reactive programming. The purpose of this master’s thesis is to study how performance can be improved in games made with reactive functional programming. Design science method was used to create an IT artifa…

A Pilot Study on Developing Newsgames in Collaboration between Journalism and Computer Science Students
2019
Abstract Producing digital and interactive journalistic products offers unique and important new learning opportunities for journalism education. This study analysed the experiences of two pilot courses on so-called ‘newsgames’ in a Finnish university in 2015 and 2017. The data consisted of the newsgames and other materials produced by the students, student feedback concerning the course and observations of teachers throughout the project. Our analysis demonstrates how producing newsgames in the context of higher education may foster project-based learning experiences, something that has been relatively rare in traditional journalism education. Collaboration with media companies also offere…
