For getting a big part of my diploma thesis done, I had to move to a Scandinavian country for nearly two months. The implementation of an advertising stimuli to a World in Conflict mission could only be done with the help of the Swedish developer that created the original game in 2007 – Massive Entertainment or nowadays Ubisoft Massive.

The Massive studio is located in the town center of Malmö – Sweden’s third larges city located westerly next to Copenhagen, Denmark. Besides working on my thesis I tried to get as much impressions of the city and the people as I could. While staying in Malmö I moved in the Massive apartment right in the town center. Therefore getting around was pretty easy. Weiterlesen

Vote | InGame-Advertising tag for 7grad & diploma thesis

15. August 2009 / Björn / 3 Kommentare

Spending about half a year dealing with games, their long history and the passion of designer & developers surrounding them, brought up the desire to add a historic game flair by getting my own diploma thesis tag to introduce blog articles upon the topic and for the thesis itself. To take a deep-dive into the history of games a book called „The Ultimate History of Video Games: From Pong to Pokemon“ led me through the years of excitement in a very entertaining and authentic way.

After spending more then a month at Ubisoft Massive in Sweden and playing various sessions of classic arcade games the category was set. Why not doing something with „BLiNKY“, „PiNKY“, „iNKEY“, CLYDE“ or hijack the invaders from out of space that entered the world in 1978?

I came up some ideas – feel free to help me to choose one.
