Handbuch «Designing Podcasts» | Hans Knobloch, Caroline Feder, et al. (Hg.) [E-Book PDF]
Nach ersten qualitativen Untersuchungen zum Nutzungsverhalten von Podcast-Usern haben ZHAW und ZHdK ein zweijähriges empirisches Forschungsprojekt entwickelt, das eine Verknüpfung von Mediendramaturgie (ZHdK) und Medienpsychologie (ZHAW) herstellt, um Podcasts aus dem Blickwinkel unterschiedlicher wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen besser zu verstehen.
Das Handbook erhebt den Anspruch, Gestaltung und Nutzung von Podcasts zusammenzudenken, den Blick auf das Ganze statt auf Einzelaspekte zu richten und so ein neues Bild der Podcastlandschaft im DACH-Raum zu zeichnen.
Narrative Mechanics. Strategies and Meanings in Games and Real Life | Beat Suter, René Bauer, Mela Kocher (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
What do stories in games have in common with political narratives?
This book identifies narrative strategies as mechanisms for meaning and manipulation in games and real life. It shows that the narrative mechanics so clearly identifiable in games are increasingly used (and abused) in politics and social life. They have »many faces«, displays and interfaces. They occur as texts, recipes, stories, dramas in three acts, movies, videos, tweets, journeys of heroes, but also as rewarding stories in games and as narratives in society – such as a career from rags to riches, the concept of modernity or market economy. Below their surface, however, narrative mechanics are a particular type of motivational design – of game mechanics.
The Instrinsic Logic of Design | Gerhard M. Buurman, Marc Rölli (eds.)
CHF 48.00
Mit der in letzter Zeit rapide wachsenden Bedeutung des Designs für ökonomische und technische Entwicklungen verbinden sich zunehmend auch gesellschaftliche Fragestellungen von höchster Brisanz. Wie aber ist es möglich, diese Dimensionen des Designs – im Sinne eines «Social Designs» – zu erforschen und sichtbar zu machen? Die AutorInnen nehmen diese Frage zum Anlass, um die spezifischen Rationalitäten der im Design verwendeten Verfahren und Methoden zu beleuchten.

Game Mechanics for the «Magic Circle»
Why do we play games and why do we play them on computers? The contributors of «Games and Rules» take a closer look at the core of each game and the motivational system that is the game mechanics. Games are control circuits that organize the game world with their (joint) players and establish motivations in a dedicated space, a «Magic Circle», whereas game mechanics are constructs of rules designed for interactions that provide gameplay. Those rules form the base for all the excitement and frustration we experience in games. This anthology contains individual essays by experts and authors with backgrounds in Game Design and Game Studies, who lead the discourse to get to the bottom of game mechanics in video games and the real world – among them Miguel Sicart and Carlo Fabricatore.
