This paper shall discuss the process of making one first Computer Role-Playing Virtual Reality Games that take advantage underutilized hand-tracking technology provided by Oculus Quest 2 headset. The game takes place in two separate fictional dystopian worlds. player will have to navigate and explore discover its secrets while trying survive against enemies employ a reinforcement learning algor...

Understanding player distributions, sessions, and movements in a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) is essential for research in scalable architectures for these systems. We present the first detailed measurement study and the first models of the virtual populations in two popular MMORPGs, World of Warcraft and Warhammer Online. Our results show that while these two types o...

This research-in-progress study aims to extend the research on Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) collaborative learning by theoretically exploring the role of virtual co-presence from an ecological perspective. Although a growing number of researchers has started to investigate learning behaviors of digital native in the MMOG virtual environment, the study for theoretical justification o...

This paper theoretically and empirically explores cheating in MMORPGs. This paper conceptualises cheating in MMORPGs as a sociotechnical practice which draws upon a non-linear assemblage of human actors and non-human artefacts, in which the practice of cheating is the result or the outcome of an assemblage. We draw upon the assemblage conceptualizations proposed in [16] and [8] and on empirical...

CircumReality is an experimental massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that relies on text-tospeech for both narration and non-player character speech. A game-oriented text-to-speech engine differs significantly from a text-to-speech engine targeted at telephony or mobile devices. This paper discusses some of the differences, such memory and download-size requirements, voicetr...

Massive red or gray mudstones make up much of the fine-grained sedimentary rocks of the Newark Supergroup. In fact, the upper third of most sedimentary cycles in the fine-grained facies of most Newark basins is massive mudstone (division 3 of Olsen, 1984). Massive mudstones have not, however, been studied or described nearly as fully as conglomerates, sandstones, and laminated shales. This lack...

Identity theft happens frequently, especially in popular multiplayer games where cyberassets can be monetized. In this work, we propose an automatic and proactive identity theft detection model in online games. We specify the identity theft process into exploration, monetization, and theft and pose identity theft detection as a multi-class classification problem. We propose an automatic and pro...
