Videogames and Agency explores the trend in videogames and their
marketing to offer a player higher volumes, or even more distinct
kinds, of player freedom. The book offers a new conceptual
framework that helps us understand how this freedom to act is
discussed by designers, and how that in turn reflects in their
design principles. What can we learn from existing theories around
agency? How do paratextual materials reflect design intention with
regards to what the player can and cannot do in a videogame? How
does game design shape the possibility space for player action?
Through these questions and selected case studies that include AAA
and independent games alike, the book presents a unique approach to
studying agency that combines game design, game studies, and game
developer discourse. By doing so, the book examines what discourses
around player action, as well as a game's design can reveal about
the nature of agency and videogame aesthetics. This book will
appeal to readers specifically interested in videogames, such as
game studies scholars or game designers, but also to media studies
students and media and screen studies scholars less familiar with
digital games.
