AI总结:
本研究以《Batman: Arkham Knight》的DNA解谜支线为切入点,归纳主游戏内嵌研究型迷你游戏的设计框架,分析其优劣,提出可将游戏化元素融入休闲游戏以助力科研数据处理与科普。
摘要:
在Rocksteady Studios制作并于2015年发行的热门电子游戏《Batman: Arkham Knight》中,游戏的主角是Batman——一位身着蝙蝠装束的义警,在虚构的哥谭市于暗影中打击犯罪。游戏由现实世界的玩家扮演Batman,完成一项特殊的支线任务:玩家需要重构人类的纯净DNA序列,并将其与突变DNA分离,以制造解毒剂治愈反派。尽管这无疑是游戏中极具吸引力的部分(此前的Batman系列游戏中并无此内容),它却展现了一种有趣的思路:利用嵌入主游戏的迷你游戏来实现特定的现实研究目标。尽管该案例中使用的DNA数据并非真实数据,但电子游戏中已有诸多此类案例:迷你游戏被用于娱乐之外的潜在目的。基于采用类似方法的知名案例研究,本研究将“为研究目的在主游戏内设计迷你游戏”的方法论归纳为一个描述性框架,阐明了该流程的优势与局限性。研究得出结论:这类迷你游戏不仅能助力人们更深入地理解复杂科学概念,还能通过利用众包的人类直觉与模式识别能力,加速数据处理与分析。本文主张,应有策略地将小型化、游戏化的元素融入主要用于娱乐目的的成熟电子游戏中。
英文摘要:
In the popular video game Batman: Arkham Knight, produced by Rocksteady Studios and released in 2015, the primary protagonist of the game is Batman, a vigilante dressed as a bat, fighting crime from the shadows in the fictitious city of Gotham. The game involves a real-world player who takes up the role of Batman to solve a peculiar side mission wherein they have to reconstruct the clean DNA sequence of a human and separate it from mutant DNA to manufacture an antidote to cure the villain. Although this is undoubtedly a fascinating part of the game, one that was absent in previous Batman games, it showcases an interesting notion of using mini-games embedded within primary games to achieve a particular real-world research objective. Although the DNA data used in this case was not real, there are multiple such instances in video games where mini-games have been used for an underlying motive besides entertainment. Based on popular case studies incorporating a similar method, this study characterizes the methodology of designing mini-games within primary games for research purposes into a descriptive framework, highlighting the process's advantages and limitations. It is concluded that these mini-games not only facilitate a deeper understanding of complex scientific concepts but also accelerate data processing and analysis by leveraging crowd-sourced human intuition and pattern recognition capabilities. This paper argues for strategically incorporating miniaturized, gamified elements into established video games that are mainly intended for recreational purposes.
