My thesis “Archaeological Game Design: Video Game Archaeology as Interpretive Play and Play Preservation” is now online and open access! You can access the official version here, however this has some figures redacted: qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle...

Archaeological Game Design: Video Game Archaeology as Interpretive Play and Play Preservation

Abstract: Video game archaeology is a relatively new field. This can involve studying players through the traces they leave in digital game worlds, though only limited work of this kind exists. Furthermore, the potential of these methods to record ephemeral play experiences for preservation purposes has not been widely explored. The first part of the thesis establishes the background literature on games archaeology and play preservation. The second part reports on the development of novel archaeological methodologies for preserving play. This includes three case studies; a go-along study in the massively multiplayer online game Wurm Online, an archaeological survey in Elden Ring, and a collaborative autoethnography in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. The third part of this thesis reports on the results of a player study investigating how participants interpret environmental storytelling. We report on a study in which participants (N=202) played a game about exploring a procedurally generated ruined village and were then surveyed on their interpretations. We draw on methods and theory from archaeology, a field that specialises in the interpretation of material remains, to support a grounded theory analysis of the survey responses, from which we form the theory of an archaeological gameworld mental model. Finally, the fourth part of the thesis synthesises these case studies to argue that archaeological game design brings together both the archaeological recording of player traces, as well as player interpretations of a fictional gameworld that should also be preserved. This work contributes both novel methodologies for play preservation and a new theory for how players interpret gameworlds. This work has narrative design applications, and interdisciplinary contributions to game AI, games studies and HCI.

I like rainy mood to relax. But when I have 1802140 things in mind, it just makes me feel tired. I wish something clicked in my mind and I suddenly turned into this disciplined person that does stuff when it needs to be done regardless.

I've been having this weird dream (nightmare?) where I'm driving a car, and it's out-of-control. I hit walls and things on the streets (no one is there) because I can't control it. Somehow, I don't die. I eventually wake up feeling anxious and distressed...

Gosh I love music. Gosh I loved playing the Demo of Dead as Disco. Loved? Dude, I am still playing it. It's relaxing. Beating the shit out of enemies while FRITANDO in the most awesome songs. (Yes, the DEMO songs are already so good, but you can also use yours.) WHY DON'T YOU DANCE WITH ME?

This week I asked my friends if they had a "pirate vybes" game to recommend me. Little I knew that what I needed was En Garde! Not only I get to be a parry god, but I also felt like inside one of Jackie Chan's movies using any stuff in the environment to help me during the fights!
