Download or read book Arkania written by Alex Andor Skanavis and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arkania is an odyssey of limitless proportions: a spirit quest dedicated to dreamers and pioneers alike. Using the forgotten art of epic poetry, Arkania chronicles the adventures of a young visionary, who becomes initiated in an otherworldly academy of dreamers known as The Astral Alliance. Her increasing abilities, however, threaten the source of dark energies operating light-years away across the Spiral Arm—where Arcturus, her unfulfilled hero awaits. As the struggle between the corruption and salvation of both worlds unfolds, new destructive energies consume each slumbering world. The floating glass fortress of the Astral Alliance—and Arkania—become civilizations’ final safeguard against apocalyptic forces. Classical in style, yet futuristic in scope, this work explores the powers of unlocking imagination, the mystery of the subconscious mind, astral traveling, and the mysterious effect that dreaming has upon our waking world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the evolution of fantasy gaming from its origins in tabletop war and collectible card games to contemporary web-based live action and massive multi-player games, this book examines the archetypes and concepts within the fantasy gaming genre alongside the roles and functions of the game players themselves. Other topics include: how The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings helped shape fantasy gaming through Tolkien's obsessive attention to detail and virtual world building; the community-based fellowship embraced by players of both play-by-post and persistent browser-based games, despite the fact that these games are fundamentally solo experiences; the origins of gamebooks and interactive fiction; and the evolution of online gaming in terms of technological capabilities, media richness, narrative structure, coding authority, and participant roles.
Book Synopsis Beyond Barbie and Mortal Kombat by : Yasmin B. Kafai
Download or read book Beyond Barbie and Mortal Kombat written by Yasmin B. Kafai and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-02-25 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girls and women as game players and game designers in the new digital landscape of massively multiplayer online games, “second lives,” “modding,” serious games, and casual games. Ten years after the groundbreaking From Barbie to Mortal Kombat highlighted the ways gender stereotyping and related social and economic issues permeate digital game play, the number of women and girl gamers has risen considerably. Despite this, gender disparities remain in gaming. Women may be warriors in World of Warcraft, but they are also scantily clad “booth babes” whose sex appeal is used to promote games at trade shows. Player-generated content has revolutionized gaming, but few games marketed to girls allow “modding” (game modifications made by players). Gender equity, the contributors to Beyond Barbie and Mortal Kombat argue, requires more than increasing the overall numbers of female players. Beyond Barbie and Mortal Kombat brings together new media theorists, game designers, educators, psychologists, and industry professionals, including some of the contributors to the earlier volume, to look at how gender intersects with the broader contexts of digital games today: gaming, game industry and design, and serious games. The contributors discuss the rise of massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) and the experience of girl and women players in gaming communities; the still male-dominated gaming industry and the need for different perspectives in game design; and gender concerns related to emerging serious games (games meant not only to entertain but also to educate, persuade, or change behavior). In today's game-packed digital landscape, there is an even greater need for games that offer motivating, challenging, and enriching contexts for play to a more diverse population of players.
