The research aimed to apply batik motifs to strengthen the differentiation of characters in the form of adventure games that could be an interesting and effective learning medium for introducing music theory. In order to work towards achieving its objective, developing interest in music theory by using games and animations specifically to approach more people and make this project sustainable, these games were supposed to be aimed into intellectual property. Therefore to be able to make it competitive, strong differentiation was needed as so many IP characters emerged as competitors. One of the strengths that could be added to these characters was by applying local content. It was a strong differentiator and could be developed with a deeper philosophy so that it had a wealth that could be developed more widely in the future, which in this case was using batik. To achieve goal, the research used the design thinking method and qualitative methodology to collect data. The researchers collected data through the process of document research, an observation about the implementation of batik patterns in character design for animation. The result is the characters’ designs of a game to teach music theory using batik pattern application. In conclusion, the batik pattern has the potential to strengthen differences in character design.

The Relationship

Produced throughout the 1980s using the company’s Adventure Game Interpreter engine, the digital adventure games created by American software publisher Sierra On-Line played an important and largely overlooked role in the development of animation as an integral part of the digital gaming experience. While the little historical and theoretical discussion of the company’s games of the era focuses on their genre, it ignores these games’ contribution to the relationship between the animated avatars and the gamers that control them – a relationship that, as argued in this article, in essence turns gamers into animators. If we consider Chris Pallant’s (2019) argument in ‘Video games and animation’ that animation is essential to the sense of immersion within a digital game, then the great freedom provided to the gamers in animating their avatars within Sierra On-Line’s adventure games paved the way to the same sense of immersion in digital. And, if we refer to Gonzalo Frasca’s (1999) divide of digital games to narrative-led or free-play (ludus versus paidea) in ‘Ludology meets narratology: Similitude and differences between (video) games and narrative’, then the company’s adventure games served as an important early example of balance between the two elements through the gamers’ ability to animate their avatars. Furthermore, Sierra On-Line’s adventure games have tapped into the traditional tension between the animator and the character it animated, as observed by Scott Bukatman in ‘The poetics of Slumberland: Animated spirits and the animated spirit (2012), when he challenged the traditional divide between animators, the characters they animate and the audience. All these contributions, as this articles aims to demonstrate, continue to influence the role of animation in digital games to this very day.

Modern Identity

Video games are powerful narrative media that continue to evolve. Romance games in Japan, which began as text-based adventure games and are today known as bishōjo games and otome games, form a powerful textual corpus for literary and media studies. They adopt conventional literary narrative strategies and explore new narrative forms formulated by an interface with computer-generated texts and audiovisual fetishism, thereby challenging the assumptions about the modern textual values of storytelling. The article first examines differences between visual novels that feature female characters for a male audience and romance adventure games that feature male characters for a female audience. Through the comparison, the article investigates how notions of romantic love and relationship have transformed from the modern identity politics based on freedom and the autonomous self to the decentered model of mediation and interaction in the contemporary era.

Abstract The present article analyses the manner in which AAA action-adventure games adapt, quote, and reference Shakespeare’s plays in order to borrow the bard’s cultural capital and assert themselves as forms of art. My analysis focuses on three major releases: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, BioShock: Infinite, and God of War. The article shows that these games employ narrative content from Shakespeare’s plays in order to adopt traits traditionally associated with the established arts, such as narrative depth and complex characters. In addition to this, explicit intertextual links between the games’ respective storyworlds and the plays are offered as ludic rewards for the more involved players who thoroughly explore game space.1

Perkembangan teknologi saat ini semakin pesat, teknologi bereperan baik sebagai media interaksi sosial, sarana edukasi, maupun sarana hiburan. Dengan menerapkan teknologi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, diharapkan dapat membantu dan mempermudah pekerjaan. Salah satu bentuk kegiatan adalah pendakian dan petulangan, yaitu sebuah kegiatan dengan mengkombinasikan olahraga dan rekreasi yang sangat digemari oleh kalangan muda. Komunitas Pendaki Gunung Bandung (KPGB) merupakan Komunitas dengan kegiatan pendakian atau petualangan yang berperan sebagai media komunikasi dan informasi antar pegiat alam. Komunitas ini diharapkan menjadi jalur komunikasi terjalinya silaturahmi untuk membentuk kokoh rasa kekeluargaan antar sesama pendaki khususnya di Kota Bandung. Kesibukan dan padatnya jam kerja menyebabkan para anggota kesulitan dalam mengatur jadwal untuk melakukan aktivitas pendakian. Banyaknya rintangan dan tingkat kesulitan di medan pendakian, membuat banyak orang merasa takut untuk mendaki. Para pendaki yang mengalami kecelakaan dan hilang, bahkan meninggal dunia, menambah rasa takut bagi orang-orang yang ingin melakukan pendakian. Dari permasalahan yang ada perlu adanya gambaran tentang bagaimana menyelesaikan masalah ketika banyaknya aktivitas dari semua anggota yang tidak dapat melakukan pendakian. Maka aplikasi game yang bertemakan petualangan pendakian ini, dibentuk untuk memenuhi kepuasan para anggota Komunitas Pendaki Gunung Bandung, dengan pemrograman Cocos 2d-x berbasis game engine Android menggunakan smartphone yang menghasilkan game petulangan pendakian yang berkarakter 2D (dua dimensi). Aplikasi ini dirancang dengan fitur yang sederhana, oleh karena itu pengguna dapat memainkan game petualangan ini dengan nyaman. Terdapat pula fitur yang akan menghubungkan langsung pengguna dengan website KPGB, yang didalamnya terdapat informasi mengenai perlengkapan mendaki. Aplikasi ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kesenangan bagi anggota Komunitas Pendaki Gunung Bandung yang tidak bisa melakukan aktivitas berpetualang atau mendaki secara langsung.   The development of technology is currently increasingly rapid, technology plays a role both as a medium of social interaction, a means of education, and a means of entertainment. By applying technology in everyday life, it is hoped that it can help and make work easier. One form of activity is climbing and adventure, which is an activity that combines sports and recreation which is very popular with young people. The Bandung Mountaineering Community (KPGB) is a community with climbing or adventure activities that act as a medium of communication and information between nature activists. This community is expected to be a communication line for establishing friendships to form a strong sense of kinship between fellow climbers, especially in the city of Bandung. Busy and busy working hours cause the members to find it difficult to arrange a schedule for climbing activities. The number of obstacles and levels of difficulty in the climbing field, makes many people feel afraid to climb. The climbers who had accidents and disappeared, and even died, added to the fear of those who wanted to climb. From the existing problems, it is necessary to have an idea of how to solve the problem when there are many activities from all members who cannot climb. So this game application with the theme of climbing adventure, was formed to meet the satisfaction of members of the Bandung Mountaineering Community, with Cocos 2d-x programming based on the Android game engine using a smartphone that produces climbing adventure games with 2D (two-dimensional) characters. This application is designed with simple features, therefore users can play this adventure game comfortably. There is also a feature that will connect users directly to the KPGB website, in which there is information about climbing equipment. This application is expected to provide pleasure for members of the Bandung Mountaineering Community who cannot carry out adventure or climbing activities directly.
