Game Studies on Humanities Commons 7 years, 2 months agoHi Cristian, no worries at all! Still getting the group going as I’m able, and need to make a better habit of checking it myself! That makes total sense, and while there has definitely been work on this area since 2005, I think the sense I’ve gotten from Espen and others work on this is that building typologies and a systematized way to study and…[Read more]

Game Studies on Humanities Commons 7 years, 2 months agoHi, Cody. Sorry for not replying before. I had forgotten about this.
I haven’t read about the topic in a while (since 2005 maybe). Back then, there wasn’t something as I’m intending to propose. Right now, I must read all what has been written on the inner structure of video games, but a quick scan of titles led me to the research published by…[Read more]

Cody Mejeur replied to the topic Introductions in the discussion
Game Studies on Humanities Commons 7 years, 2 months agoHi Cristian! I’m really interested in your project, and particularly how you see it fitting into/relating to other game studies projects that look at form and structures in games. The ludology camp of game studies in particular has long focused on game structures, forms, and ontologies (almost to the exclusion of anything else), and the two…[Read more]

So, decided to develop this project independently,…[Read more]
