1. Connecting Narrative Video games and Electronic literature

   This project aims to explore some of the differences and similarities between the narrative video games and electronic literature games documented in the ELMCIP Knowledge Base. The paper focuses on comparing the two game types and discussing literary aspects, game mechanics, platforms, and more. It also includes graphs made in Gephi that shows how tags and platforms from the Knowledge Base can be connected to the different games and works.

2. Virtualizing Material Games

   Even before worldwide quarantines added impetus, material gaming had already become increasingly enacted in virtual spaces. Rather than virtual play replacing the material, as some speculated in the early days of videogames, material play has become increasingly entangled with virtuality. These increasingly complementary modes of play offer a rich space for exploring the multifaceted embodied and conceptual activity of play, the blending of material and virtual that in many ways defines games.
   The three panelists encompass a wide range of perspectives, including the perspective of a game maker translating material play into the digital realm, that of a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) scholar who researched how players interact differently with the Catan boardgame and its digital implementations, and that of a theorist reflecting on how virtual spaces remediate material affects. Together, these diverse perspectives aim to explore the paradoxical yet generative spaces where materiality and virtuality intersect in gaming.
