My second paper on The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind 😮😮 the fruit of my participation at the 2024 FROG (Future and Reality of Gaming) conference by @unikrems.bsky.social 🥳🥳 This one discusses the game's potential as a tool for learning about "wicked issues" in general. 1/3

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

Sharoron the unicorn is the mascot for the Tokyo Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Association. The horn on Sharon’s head has the power to gather and send out useful information.

Japan’s human rights mascots are Jin-KEN-Mamoru-kun and Jin-KEN-Ayumi-chan.

My new paper describes my ongoing doctoral study on the "Ludonarrative Universe" model for (co)designing ludonarrative systems for Big-G game-based learning, which facilitates learning through gaming and its surrounding activities, such as pre- and post-game discussions. 1/3

Title: Designing Ludonarrative Media for Robust, Scientific, Realizable, and Adaptable Big-G Game-Based Learning: A Model and Research Plan
Author: Pratama Wirya Atmaja
Affiliation: Faculty of Computer Science, University of Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur, Indonesia
Abstract:
To meet the demands of “Big-G” GBL for complex issues (e.g., sustainability), the paper identifies four design gaps—conceptual robustness, scientific precision, technical realizability, and practical adaptability—insufficiently addressed by current methods. It proposes a “ludonarrative universe” model: a multi-dimensional system spanning nested media (supersystems), ecological counterparts (competing elements), meta-gaming layers, and experiential layers (world, storytelling, assets/UI) grounded in game-loop theory. The model claims to be comprehensive, systemic, scale-invariant, and modular, enabling early verification and validation (V&V) and agile evolution. A research plan outlines co-designed case studies, a domain-specific language, and automated V&V to test and generalize the model.
Keywords: Ludonarrative media, design model, co-design, game-based learning, sustainability

Bloody hell, Poland, how did you come up with this vase-like chara? 🤣🤣 Since when has Poland been a top-tier player in the chara/mascot game?? 🤣🤣 #Expo2025Osaka @debraocchi.bsky.social @mondomascots.bsky.social

We need more research like this to support the use of yuru/gotouchi chara (local mascots) in Indonesia 😇😇

lerch-san.net the website's design is so good... and reminds me of the old Skifree game on Windows 3.x 🤣 luckily, there's no Yeti jumping out to eat Lerch 🤣 @debraocchi.bsky.social @mondomascots.bsky.social

Man, Japanese "gotouchi kyara" (local mascots) have such a strong presence on X/Twitter that following them there has kept my "for you" feed almost free of political nonsenses and AGI hype garbage 🤣🤣
