This is a game I made for the "Narratives in Digital Culture" course of the MSc of Medialogy program at Aalborg University, Denmark.
INTRO ( of the paper including in the download)
People always used narratives in order to communicate, to pass on
stories or traditions, to transfer news to others who were not able
to witness important events. Furthermore, as society became more
educated narratives started being used as a way to express
feelings, emotions and ideas. Not too many decades ago,
narratives were conceptualized primarily in written form or at
movies or theatrical plays. With the rapid development of
technology, new ways of presenting narrative works appeared.
Museum exhibits, video games, board games, art installations are
a few different ways of narrative representation that emerged
from the transition to a more digital society. This technological
development also gave the opportunity to artists, writers, game
developers and programmers to revisit any work of art or
literature and try to present them from a new perspective. A
method most commonly used is re-mediation, that is the process
of refashioning, remaking a concept in a different medium. Here
the concept changes to fit the guidelines of the exact medium
which is chosen. This paper describes the re-mediation of the
classical fairy tale of “The Three Little Pigsâ€. The medium
chosen for this re-mediation is a Point-and-Click Adventure Game
and the software that was used is Adventure Game Studio.
Gameplay:
You control the wolf in your search of filling your empty belly.
Controls:
Classic AGS controls, left mouse for interaction, right click for choosing type of interaction.
