The growth of videogame design programs in higher education and
explosion of amateur game development has created a need for a
deeper understanding of game history that addresses not only
"when," but "how" and "why." Andrew Williams takes the first step
in creating a comprehensive survey on the history of digital games
as commercial products and artistic forms in a textbook appropriate
for university instruction. History of Digital Games adopts a
unique approach and scope that traces the interrelated concepts of
game design, art and design of input devices from the beginnings of
coin-operated amusement in the late 1800s to the independent games
of unconventional creators in the present. Rooted in the concept of
videogames as designed objects, Williams investigates the sources
that inspired specific game developers as well as establishing the
historical, cultural, economic and technological contexts that
helped shape larger design trends. Key Features Full-color images
and game screenshots Focuses primarily on three interrelated
digital game elements: visual design, gameplay design and the
design of input devices This book is able to discuss design trends
common to arcade games, home console games and computer games while
also respecting the distinctions of each game context Includes
discussion of game hardware as it relates to how it affects game
design Links to online resources featuring games discussed in the
text, video tutorial and other interactive resources will be
included.
