Kaczmarek, Thom (2013) What can be qualified as proper usage of “comic form” in video games? [Co może być uważane za udane użycie "formy" komiksu w grach wideo?]. In: VI Zjazd Twórców Gier - 6th ZTG GameDev Convention, 17-20 October 2013, Poznań Game Arena, Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie, Poznań, Poland.

Type of Research: Conference, Symposium or Workshop Item
Creators: Kaczmarek, Thom
Description:

Comics and games have coexisted for centuries; the oldest known examples date back to Ancient Egypt (hieroglyphics and the game Senet). However, only recently have successful symbioses between the two forms emerged, inspiring rather than imitating each other. The Walking Dead, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Deadpool are just a few examples that break with the long-standing "tradition" of producing mediocre superhero games. Analysis and interpretation of examples.
