Abstract
Video igre postaju sve popularnije, te se prihvaćaju kao kompleksni tekstovi. Istražujemo što to znači za medij kada se shvaća kao napisano djelo koje se igra umjesto čita uz pomoć karakteristika digitalnih okruženja koje je odredila Janet Murray. Nadovezujemo se na te karakteristike i stvaramo novi pojam: digitalna stalnost. Digitalna stalnost omogućava posve nove načine stvaranja, korištenja i dijeljenja teksta, jednako unutar i van virtualnog okruženja. Otkrivamo odnose između Murrayinih karakteristika kroz nekoliko primjera video igara za jednog igrača, te istražujemo digitalnu stalnost u igrama za više igrača preko mreže. Tekst je glavni alat za stvaranje digitalne stalnosti i jedan od najvažnijih dijelova medija video igara, koji otvara nove načine promatranja video igara kao kibertekst.
Abstract (english)
Video games are becoming increasingly popular and accepted as complex texts. To explore the medium further as a piece of writing that can be played instead of read, we take a look into the properties of digital environments outlined by Janet Murray, and expand upon them by coining the term digital permanence. Digital permanence allows for new ways of text creation, use and distribution both in the digital space and out of it. We explore several examples of single player video games to illustrate the relations between Murray’s properties, and explore digital permanence in online multiplayer games. The use of text to achieve digital permanence is considered as a vital part of the video game medium, opening up new ways of studying video games as cybertext.
