iGGi Partners We are excited to be collaborating with a number of industry partners. IGGI works with industry in some of the following ways: Student Industry Knowledge Transfer - this can take many forms, from what looks like a traditional placement, to a short term consultancy, to an ongoing relationship between the student and their industry partner. Student Sponsorship - for some of our students, their relationship with their industry partner is reinforced by sponsorship from the company. This is an excellent demonstration of the strength of the commitment and the success of the collaborations. In Kind Contributions - IGGI industry partners can contribute by attending and/or featuring in our annual conference, offering their time to give talks and masterclasses for our students, or even taking part in our annual game jam! There are many ways for our industry partners to work with IGGI. If you are interested in becoming involved, please do contact us so we can discuss what might be suitable for you. Fusebox

< Back Prof. Richard Bartle University of Essex iGGi Co-Investigator Supervisor Richard Bartle is a renowned pioneer in game design and research. He co-wrote the first virtual world, MUD ("Multi-User Dungeon") in 1978, and has thus been at the forefront of the online games industry from its very inception. He is an influential writer on all aspects of virtual world design, development, and management. As an independent consultant, he has worked with many of the major online game companies in the U.K. and the U.S. over the past 30 years. His 2003 book, Designing Virtual Worlds , has established itself as a foundation text for researchers and developers of virtual worlds alike. His Player Type theory is taught in game design programmes worldwide (he appears in examination questions!). His interests are directed mainly virtual worlds, particularly Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs, or MMOs), but cover all aspects of game design. He is keen to see AI used for non-player characters in MMOs (his PhD is in AI), and his current work considers the long-term moral and ethical implications of this.

< Back Dr Alena Denisova University of York Supervisor Alena Denisova is a Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of York, UK. She is actively involved in collaborative and interdisciplinary projects that involve conceptualising and measuring user experience of video games and designing and building educational and persuasive interactive media. Her research explores the role of the `placebo effect’ of technology in shaping player experiences, perceived challenge and uncertainty in video games, and, more recently, emotionally impactful player experiences - understanding how these experiences are shaped with the view to inform the design of games that promote these experiences. Alena is an active member of the games HCI community: she is a co-chair of the IEEE Task Force on Automatic Gameplay Evaluation and a member of the Programme Committee for the annual CHI and CHI Play conferences. She is interested in supervising students that have qualitative, mixed method or design experience that they wish to apply to studying digital games. Possible research topics include exploring what makes choices in games meaningful for players, how perceived uncertainty, risk-aversion, and luck affect decision making in games, and how skill is acquired and advanced throughout while playing video games. She is also keen to work with students who wish to work on games with a purpose. For instance, designing and developing games that promote informed decision-making about moral and ethical choices, such as promoting sustainable lifestyle, reflecting on important real-life issues, developing personally, etc. alena.denisova@york.ac.uk Email Mastodon Other links Website https://www.linkedin.com/in/alenadenisova/ LinkedIn BlueSky Github Themes Applied Games Design & Development Player Research - Previous Next
