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.

ROBERT YANG
SEX IN GAMES
gamedesign.university/robert-yang
If video games are art, and art should reflect our lives, then why aren't there more video games about sex and intimacy? OK, maybe sex isn't an important part of your life… But if it is, why do video games seem so bad at sex? In this talk, we will look at a wide variety of different sex games and think about some useful design patterns for sex games. Then we will consider the (many) institutions and barriers against sexual expression, across the game industry as well as the internet.
Robert Yang makes surprisingly popular games about gay culture and intimacy:he is most known for his historical bathroom sex simulator The Tearoom and his male shower simulator Rinse and Repeat. His gay sex triptych Radiator 2 has over 150,000 users on Steam. He is currently an Assistant Arts Professor at NYU Game Center, and he has given talks at GDC, IndieCade, Queerness and Games Conference, and Games for Change. He holds a BA in English Literature from the University of California at Berkeley, and an MFA in Design and Technology from Parsons School for Design.

7 1/2 OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE SHORTEST FOUR-LETTER WORD IN GAMES
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH
When players enjoy a game, they say, “That was fun!” When designers make, journalists review, or academics theorize about a game, the word fun rarely comes up. A word so commonplace as to sound meaningless and typically ignored, “fun" remains unmentioned by those who make and write about games. This talk looks beyond game development, game journalism and game studies for ideas to help us better understand the role of fun in games and beyond. Drawing on fields as diverse as cognitive psychology, anthropology, cultural theory, the philosophy of art, and sociology, Sharp explores the power and potential of fun as useful concept and tool for experiencing, thinking about, and understanding play.
historian, curator and educator with thirty years of involvement in the creation and study of art and design. John's current design work focuses on cultural games, artgames and non-digital games. His current research addresses game aesthetics, the processes of creativity, and the intersections of aesthetics and ethics. Sharp is Associate Professor in the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons School of Design at the New School. He is the author of Works of Game: On the Aesthetics of Games and Art (MIT Press) and coauthor (with Colleen Macklin) of Iterate.Ten Lessons in Design and Failure and (with David Thomas) Fun, Taste, & Games: An Aesthetics of the Idle, Unproductive, and Otherwise Playful (MIT Press). Sharp and Macklin are Codirectors of the PETLab (Prototyping Education and Technology Lab) at Parsons. John was the curator of Spacewar!: Videogames Blast Off (2012) and A Whole Different Ball Game: Playing Through 60 Years of Sports Video Games (2018, co-curator Jason Eppink) at the Museum of the Moving Image and co-curator of XYZ: Alternative Voices in Game Design (2013) at the Museum of Design-Atlanta. John’s Games include The Metagame (2015) and Losswords (2019).
7 OSSERVAZIONI E 1/2 SULLA PAROLA DI QUATTRO LETTERE PIÙ CORTA NEI GIOCHI
Quando un giocatore s’imbatte in un’esperienza ludica particolarmente avvincente, spesso esclama: "Wow, è veramente divertente!". Eppure designer, giornalisti e accademici raramente utilizzano il termine “divertimento” per riferisi ai videogiochi. Questo sostantivo è così vago e generico che persino chi sviluppa o scrive di videogiochi tende a ignorarlo. Beninteso, il fenomeno non riguarda solo game design, giornalismo e game studies, ma la cultura in quanto tale. In un avvincente excursus che attinge a piene mani dalla psicologia cognitiva, dall'antropologia, dalla teoria culturale, dalla filosofia dell'arte e alla sociologia - Sharp esplora il potenziale del divertimento per ripensare l’attività del giocare.
John Sharp è un designer, storico dell'arte, curatore ed educatore con trent'anni di esperienza nello sviluppo e nello studio dell'arte e del design. La sua ricerca si concentra sui videogiochi culturali, artistici e analogici, con particolare attenzione all'estetica videoludica, i processi creativi e le intersezioni tra estetica ed etica.

7 1/2 OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE SHORTEST FOUR-LETTER WORD IN GAMES
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH
When players enjoy a game, they say, “That was fun!” When designers make, journalists review, or academics theorize about a game, the word fun rarely comes up. A word so commonplace as to sound meaningless and typically ignored, “fun" remains unmentioned by those who make and write about games. This talk looks beyond game development, game journalism and game studies for ideas to help us better understand the role of fun in games and beyond. Drawing on fields as diverse as cognitive psychology, anthropology, cultural theory, the philosophy of art, and sociology, Sharp explores the power and potential of fun as useful concept and tool for experiencing, thinking about, and understanding play.

7 OSSERVAZIONI E 1/2 SULLA PAROLA DI QUATTRO LETTERE PIÙ CORTA NEI GIOCHI
Quando un giocatore s’imbatte in un’esperienza ludica particolarmente avvincente, spesso esclama: "Wow, è veramente divertente!". Eppure designer, giornalisti e accademici raramente utilizzano il termine “divertimento” per riferisi ai videogiochi. Questo sostantivo è così vago e generico che persino chi sviluppa o scrive di videogiochi tende a ignorarlo. Beninteso, il fenomeno non riguarda solo game design, giornalismo e game studies, ma la cultura in quanto tale. In un avvincente excursus che attinge a piene mani dalla psicologia cognitiva, dall'antropologia, dalla teoria culturale, dalla filosofia dell'arte e alla sociologia - Sharp esplora il potenziale del divertimento per ripensare l’attività del giocare.
John Sharp è un designer, storico dell'arte, curatore ed educatore con trent'anni di esperienza nello sviluppo e nello studio dell'arte e del design. La sua ricerca si concentra sui videogiochi culturali, artistici e analogici, con particolare attenzione all'estetica videoludica, i processi creativi e le intersezioni tra estetica ed etica.
