Saturday, February 7, 2015
5th Ave at 89th Street
New York City
This Game Design Workshop for children ages 11–14 was a free one-day workshop with a Guggenheim educator and a video game industry professional that investigated game design principles and architectural concepts. Just as architect Frank Lloyd Wright was challenged to create a dynamic visitor experience in his design for the Guggenheim, participants explored how to create fun experiences for players through hands-on and digital projects. Created in collaboration with the 2014–2015 STEM Challenge, The Institute of Museum and Library Services, The Joan Ganz Cooney Center, and E-Line Media.

The kids who played with my game found that the pieces were the right size for their hands on the chess board. The Hnefatafl pieces on the lower left are too small, and they don't know the game, but that was sort of likely to happen.

MACHINIMA AND THE ALLURE OF EPHEMERALITY: GAMEPLAY, LIVE STREAMS & DIGITAL CULTURE
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH
In this talk, Jenna Ng will address the explosion of interest in the live streaming of gameplay as witnessed in the popularity of Twitch, whose latest number of daily active users has reached 15 million, as well as other major platforms such as YouTube Gaming, Mixer, and Facebook Live. Specifically, the talk will link the current phenomenon of video game live streams with machinima and its origins in game demos and captured videogame play, arguing not only for live streams to be the next logical evolution for machinima, but also for a critical theorisation of screen media that pursues a realist trajectory, one which potentially works its way from neorealist cinema to drone culture.
Jenna Ng first trained as a finance lawyer in Singapore and London before switching to film studies, in which she obtained a PhD from University College London (UCL), and currently teaches film and interactive media at the University of York, UK. She is the editor of Understanding Machinima: Essays on Filmmaking in Virtual Worlds (Bloomsbury, 2013) and her current book project, Undoing the Screen: Space, Spectacle, Surface (Palgrave), explores the effacing of screen boundaries in relation to contemporary display technologies and the resulting erasure between images, objects, surfaces and spaces.
Il 13 giugno 2019, gli studenti del Master of Arts in Game Design dell'Università IULM hanno presentato i loro progetti finali a due ospiti di eccezione: Marco Minoli e Paolo Paglianti di Slitherine Software.
Slitherine LTD è un publisher di videogame britannico nato dalla passione dei suoi soci fondatori, JD e Iain McNeil, per la storia e le simulazioni militari, all'inizio degli anni 2000. Il rapido successo nella nicchia di mercato degli strategici ha permesso a Slitherine di acquisire nel 2008 l'americana Matrix Games, altro publisher dedito esclusivamente ai giochi di strategia. Nel catalogo di Slitherine/Matrix sono presenti solo strategici: dozzine di wargame ambientati in ogni periodo storico, dall'antica Roma (Field of Glory II) alle guerre rinascimentali europee (Pike and Shoot), dal medioevo giapponese (Sengoku Jidai) alla Guerra Civile americana (Gettysburg). Moltissimi i titoli ambientati durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale (Panzer Corps, che ha venduto finora oltre un milione di copie, l'intera saga di Close Combat, Order of Battle). l simulatore di guerra navale moderna, Command Modern Air Naval Operations è talmente accurato che diverse agenzie militari e private hanno richiesto una versione professionale. Non solo wargame storici, però: nel catalogo di Slitherine sono presenti diversi videogiochi su licenza Warhammer 40,000 (WH40K Gladius e Sanctus Reach) e Battlestar Galactica (BSG Deadlock, di cui si è appena conclusa la Season One.
L'HQ di Slitherine è vicino a Londra, a Epsom, e abbiamo developer e studi di sviluppo in tutto il mondo - dall'Australia alla Bulgaria, dagli States alla Russia. A Milano opera la Slòitherine italiana (sette persone) in cui ha sede tutto il marketing e le PR a livello globale.
Marco A. Minoli ha cominciato nel 1998 a lavorare nel settore dei videogiochi. Si considera un ambasciatore fedele delle nicchie di mercato: prima dei simulatori di volo, poi di quelli di guida e infine, dal 2007, di wargames e giochi di strategia. Proprio nel 2007 inizia la sua avventura in Slitherine dove ha contribuito a portare i wargames e i giochi di strategia più complessi su piattaforme portatili e sdoganato il prodotto premium su iOS. Dalla sua esperienza in Leader, distributore storico di videogiochi in Italiana, passando poi per Electronic Arts, Warner Bros e Koch Media, Marco continua a credere che le regole del mercato di domani siano ancora da scoprire. Gestisce un team tutto internazionale di marketing e vendite direttamente dall’Italia e continua ad ostinarsi a portare la cravatta in un settore popolato di magliette geek.
Paolo Paglianti ha iniziato a scrivere di videogame il secolo scorso, nel 1989, e gli è piaciuto così tanto che non ha più smesso. Ha iniziato a scrivere sulla mitica rivista Kappa ed è stato caporedattore e direttore delle riviste di videogame più diffuse e vendute in Italia (tra cui ZETA, Giochi per il Mio Computer, X-Box Ufficiale). Nel 2018 ha deciso di scoprire come si fanno i videogame che ha giocato (e criticato) per cinque lustri, ed si è unito all'ufficio italiano di Slitherine come PR globale. Il fatto che abbia una passione insana per i wargame su PC e che sia stato sette volte campione italiano di wargame "tabletop" (con i "soldatini) e tre volte campione del Mondo è totalmente casuale.

Im diesjährigen Weihnachtsworkshop in Wels wurden, gemeinsam mit Schülern des MRG Fadingerstraße Linz, die Grundlagen der Open-Source 3D Modelliersoftware Blender behandelt und fliegende Inseln für das Spiel 'Fragment Planet' modelliert, sowie texturiert.
'Fragment Planet' ist ein Echtzeitstrategiespiel von Simon Stix, in dem die Erde auf der Suche nach einer neuen Energiequelle vernichtet wurde. Die Überlebenden der Katastrophe bewegen sich mithilfe von Fluggeräten zwischen Fragmenten der alten Welt und bauen auf ihnen trostlose Städte und Militärbasen. Der Stil des Spiels ist eine Mischung aus Steam- und Cyberpunk und es verbindet die Elemente klassischer Strategiespiele, mit frei beweglichen, fliegenden Inseln, wodurch ein einzigartig dynamisches Gameplay entsteht.

This Hnefatafl board was made from pieces left over after making the chess board. It's not as well made as the chess board, but I know how I'm going to adjust to future use. I think the pieces are a little too small to use effectively; quarter-inch squares are too small.
