▼ With the increasing popularity of online games, compulsive gaming has emerged as an important social issue. Previous scholarship, especially from pathological perspectives, tends to focus on the effects of compulsive gaming on the gamer only at individual level, overlooking dynamic interpersonal communication processes between gamers and their loved ones (e.g., family, romantic partners, or friends). However, the compulsive gaming (so-called game addiction) does not exist in a vacuum; compulsive gamers and their loved ones experience and deal with complex interpersonal relationship issues specific to unhealthy gaming. The current study focuses on three particular online support groups that are designed for (recovering) compulsive online gamers and their loved ones where they share social support to cope with their problems associated with compulsive gaming. Assuming compulsive online gaming and online social support are two interrelated aspects of internet use, this study examines the associations among compulsive gaming, gaming-related partner-control, gaming-specific relational conflict, and online social support. Drawing upon Relational Dialectics theory (Baxter & Montgomery, 1996), Inconsistent Nurturing as Control theory (Le Poire, 1995), and Buffering Effect model of Social Support (Cobb, 1976; Cohen & Wills, 1985), the current study poses18 hypotheses that link six study variables: compulsive gaming, partner-control, and relational conflict at offline level, and online support group participation, support group identification, and social support at online context. Findings of an online survey of both gamers (N=103) and loved ones (N=57) supported the hypothesized positive associations between (a) compulsive gaming and consistent partner-control, (b) offline relational conflict and online support group participation level, (c) online support group participation and the amount of received online social support, and (d) online social support and online support group identification. The hypothesis on the mediating effects of relational conflict on online support group participation was also supported, indicating that (e) relational conflict between gamers and loved ones mediates the associations between partner-control and online support group participation. This implies the important roles of both partner’s controlling strategies and relationship problems in predicting online support group use for both compulsive gamers and their loved ones. Another path was found that (f) gamer’s received online social support mediates the impact of positive partner-control on gamer’s online support group participation. This suggests that positive reinforcement from non-gaming partner in tandem with online social support from other fellow recovering gamers predicts the level of online support group participation of recovering gamers. Overall, the quantitative findings highlight the important role of the loved ones of gamers in both gamer’s dyadic relational conflicts offline and collective recovery process (social support)… Advisors/Committee Members: Gibbs, Jennifer (chair), Faw, Meara (internal member), Scott, Craig (internal member), Caplan, Scott (outside member), School of Graduate Studies.

▼ Video games no longer predominantly emphasize mere entertainment or excitement, they now investigate more complex emotions. As a new dimension of player input, biofeedback (University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center, 2015) can be used to track a player’s body signals in real-time. This biofeedback can impact a player’s experience during gameplay and making a game affective. This research aims to design game mechanics to connect game environments with a player’s physiological data, and to thereby trigger a serene gameplay experience. The development process was based on 1) game design strategies for inducing serenity, 2) design methods for biofeedback interaction in video games. Combined with these theoretical approaches, this research followed an iterative design process by prototyping, observations, individual interviews, questionnaires, and data analysis. The player’s physiological information was detected through three types of sensor: A heart rate (HR) sensor, a galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor, and a webcam with a software library for facial expressions. The game system adopted certain design elements such as color schemes to communicate the biological information these sensors gathered. There are two hypotheses in this research. One is that the adjustments of the game environment based on the player's physiological information can impact the relationship between the player and the game. The other one is that changing the game environment’s color schemes according to the player’s physiological data can strengthen their emotions. The final output was a brief (2-5 minutes) 3D exploration game attached with sensors to players. The game contained abstract nature-related visual elements and non-competitive mechanics that were applicable for biofeedback-based interaction. The result of final prototype showed that the nature-related elements and the adjustments of the color schemes in the game helped make players feel serene. The biofeedback-based interactions were effective because they helped some players feel more connected to the game. Ultimately, this work is expected to make the player experience more personal rather than generic and improve the game’s replayability. Advisors/Committee Members: White, Tom.

▼ With the rapid growth of the digital game industry, publishing a game has become easier and faster than in any other period in history. More and more students, programmers, and artists have decided to join the game industry. Although the number of games is briskly increasing, most of the indie games in the past few years have flopped, and the developers usually lost a lot of money. At the same time, as a new graduate student from the Game Design program, I can heartily feel the pressure of finding an entry-level job in the game industry in the U.S. Now, game companies are seeking talented candidates who can do multiple roles and have more work experience. Thus, many of the students who recently graduated from college decided to go for a higher education or spend a few years on their own game projects. I want to help the indie game community develop successful games. To accomplish this goal, this paper will share effective methods to develop digital marketing skills as well as methods to build connections with players. In addition, the burst of the independent game (indie game) bubble has become a non-negligible issue in the market, the demand and the flooding number of games are totally unbalanced and it caught my attention. In 2014, 40% of the indie games bought on Steam did not get played, and this number doubled in 2016. (Vogel J, 2014) Reporting the unstable indie game market issues and finding solutions for developers will be the key parts of this paper. To facilitate this research, I will be interviewing different indie game studio cofounders as well as delving into existing publications of indie game research.; The paper will be divided into three parts: 1) The overview of the game market in the past decade, the status of the indie game market, and the influences of video game programs at different institutions. 2) Review of the digital game promotion platforms, and the introduction of major game festivals. 3) Case studies and interviews with the co-founders of various indie game studios like Fullbright, thatgamecompany, Noodlecake and Die Gute Fabrik.; Overall, the successful indie developers gave suggestions to other developers such as: actively attending game events, keep their design goal small, build connections with other potential investors, players at events/online forums.

▼ There are over 20,000 new video games created each year, so it is therefore important for video game developers to fully comprehend the video game market before they undergo the production of new offerings in order to stand out from their competitors. Understanding gamer wants and expectations will help developers to better produce an offering which satisfies these customer needs resulting in enhanced financial success for the developer. This study investigates the expectations of gamers in the First Person Shooter (FPS) genre of video games and endeavours to understand what components make up a good FPS from the perspective of both ‘hardcore’ and ‘casual’ gamers. Through the use of an online discussion, this study collected the detailed perspectives of 29 ‘hardcore’ and ‘casual’ gamers, regarding the topic of FPS video games. It investigates what the gamers want in a FPS by means of an online discussion which builds on the benefits of both ethnography and focus group methodologies. Since the study’s main goal was exploratory, a qualitative approach was considered the most appropriate; in addition to this, the method used to collect the data was done within a grounded theory framework. This study finds that, though graphics have historically been a major factor in driving the success of a FPS video game, this is no longer the case. Gamers expect there to be a balance between the different components, with a more holistic gaming experience desired, and that too much focus on one component at the expense of another will result in an unsatisfactory video game experience. This can be seen in comments given by the participants indicating too much emphasis of the graphics quality in a FPS and not enough on story or the multiplayer aspects results in a video game which is neither fun nor praiseworthy. The latter is perceived significant as with such an oversaturation in the video game market, developers rely heavily on positive word of mouth to advertise their games. This study’s main goal was to develop a better understanding of the expectations of gamers regarding FPS; in doing so, it has laid out the basis for producing a ‘magic formula’ for a great FPS video game. It has also highlighted several other areas which need further investigation in order to better understand the behavioural motives and actions of gamers from both ‘hardcore’ and ‘casual’ communities.

▼ Virtually Smoking: Exploring Player Perception of Tobacco Content in Video GamesAbstractPurpose: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experience of play for adolescent and young adult video game players, perceptions of tobacco content in games, and to understand why game designers inserted tobacco content into the play experience. Background: Viewing smoking in movies causes adolescents to start to smoke. Little research has been done examining whether tobacco content in video games may have similar effects. Teens play video games for an average of 1.4 hours a day, 83% of teens have a dedicated gaming console at home, and on any given day, 56% of teens play video games. Methods: Four data collection strategies were used: interviews including in-person interviews with adolescents (n=20), online interviews with adults (n=41) in-person/video phone interviews with game designers (n=5), observation of gameplay (40 hours), watching movies made from gameplay (n=350 hours) and examining relevant artifacts, including: game ratings and commentary websites, game wikis, written material about video gaming and specific games. Data were collected and analyzed using an interpretive phenomenological approach.Results: Game players valued playing because of the games’ ability to transport them into worlds where they experienced freedom, power, stress relief and relaxation. Far from being isolating, games also served as places to gather, make community and create, hone and extend identity. The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) did not rate games with tobacco content accurately. Only 8% (9/118) of the games examined had received ESRB tobacco-related content descriptors, but 42% (50/118) contained such content. Participant recall of tobacco content increased when players were actively involved with the tobacco product. Players and designers implicitly understood that insertion of tobacco content allowed messages to be rapidly conveyed about characters, including tobacco-industry groomed tropes such as being cool, rebellious, world-weary, stressed, “badass”, masculine or feminine, tough and normal. Conclusion: Tobacco content is present in games played by adolescents and imbued with meaning. Game companies are uniquely positioned to inculcate game-normative values among players, including continuing the normalization of smoking and its associated tropes.

▼ The dissertation’s aim is to highlight the presence of young people in the Central Business District of Pretoria, Tshwane. The proposal aims to provide a facility to entertain the youth in the city while waiting for transport before or after school. An in depth analysis done on the Central Business District (CBD) of Pretoria revealed that there are currently 13 schools, as well as, several Further Education and Training Facilities (FET) in the CBD. These children and students form a huge sector of the population that is currently not catered for in term of entertainment. The project is located in the south eastern quadrant of the CBD, as this is where most of the schools and FET’s are located. The facility will comprise of various child and student based activities and facilities that they can engage in before and after class or school. These include indoor and outdoor activity spaces as well as commercial enterprises. All the facilities are arranged around a central courtyard space where unprogrammed activities may occur. The facility will also incorporate a small transportation node consisting of Taxi’s and Municipal busses. This will reduce the need for children to walk extensive distances between their after school activities and their modes of transportation. As the title ‘Game On’ suggests the dissertation aims to investigate games in both their architectural structure and narrative. Furthermore, the aim is to utilize the design principals and narrative found in games during the design process and using them to determine the hierarchal organization of spaces found at the centre. As in a game, design is a process that follows a narrative as determined by a set of rules and limitations. The imposed restrictions on the design may result in an unsuccessful attempt to overcome it. In games this phenomenon can be seen as reaching a level of difficulty. The player then needs to start over in order re-evaluate the situation or to gain the skills necessary for advancing to the next level. The process of design should be approached in a similar way. When a problem is reached the design should be re-evaluated and the necessary exploration should be done in order to solve to problem. Ultimately the process of design may be compared to the playing of a game, it has to adhere to rules and regulations and what is technically possible. The end product (architecture) can be engaging and may allow the user to interact with their surroundings like in a video game. Advisors/Committee Members: Mr D de Bruyn (advisor), Mr A Barker (coadvisor).

▼ This study is investigating the relationships between playing video games and aggressive behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. The participants are Male and female Saudi college students at Taibah University. The study conducted for two main purposes. Examining correlations between the amount of violence in video games played and aggressive behaviors, thoughts, and feelings is the first purpose. While the other purpose is examining the relationship between the amount of time playing video games in childhood and in current time with aggressive behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. The theoretical framework was drawn for this study consists of two theories: social learning theory and catharsis. Social learning theory relies on observation and imitating lead to copy that actions in reality. Regarding video games impact, the players might imitate the violence and copy that behaviors in real life. Catharsis has the opposite viewpoint of observing violence in social learning theory. Catharsis suggests that observing and experiencing violence in video games help in getting out of negative emotions such anger in real life. A self- report questionnaire is used in collecting data. The present study used the same research design for Anderson and Dill Study 1 (2000). Adapted questionnaire in their study and two items from video game index they created are used in this study. SPSS used in all statistical analysis. Correlations and regression are run in order to answer all research questions. The major findings suggested that there are no relationships in general between the amount of violence in video games and the amount of time playing video games and aggressive behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. However, there is a positive moderate correlation between the amount of time playing video games in childhood and verbally aggressive behaviors among only female Saudi college students. The present study suggests to consider culture aspect in measuring video games impact by using GCAM criteria which they are working on to improve and make them more clear. There are other factors might effect the relationship also beside violence level in video games such as competitiveness in games, pace of action, and difficulty.
