The Gray Man
Haraším, Richard ; Záhora, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
I focus on developing original digital game The Gray Man in the point & click adventure genre from the position of a indie developer, creating all segments of the game on my own. Primarily by seeking a synthesis of the serial killer personality from first-person view and the gameplay experience, which is mediated by the transfer of 3D space into a 2D closed world where, despite the various limitations of player movement, game mechanics and interactivity by simply clicking the mouse, I strive for a specific design of the main character's movement and associated controls. The main objective of this thesis is to convey these new approaches in interaction with the environment and the theme of the game itself. A parallel goal is also produce a fully playable version of the game.

FPS
Konečný, Dominik ; Kudělka, Vladimír (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
This text documents the creation of a prototype of core systems in a digital FPS (first person shooter) game. There are two goals. One is to fulfill all the requirements of the genre and to follow up on its history. The second one is to try and find new approaches to individual elements from the design perspective, but also their connections and controls. The elements themselves are movement (walking, running, jumping etc) and combat (shooting, aiming, enemies and their capabilities and intelligence). Also the work is about finding ways how to transmit information through immersive user interface, mainly virtual hands and items. Throughout the work I focus on the elements one at a time. First I shortly describe what they are and their purpuse, then a bit about their history and in the end I describe my approach.

Mist
Volkova, Zoya ; Kudělka, Vladimír (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The "Mist" is a visual narrative project on the border between 2D digital games and interactive animation. The virtual space here thematically take place between key words such as dream, sleep, limbo, phase of sadness, phase of dying. Subsequently, a form of metaphor is elaborated with the help of a non-existent landscape with specific elements (trees, plants, and others). Road through the countryside, road through the mist. Part of the movement of virtual space is a survey of linear processing over time.

Microtransactions and their influence over the design of digital games
Urazajeva, Regina ; Fousek Krobová, Tereza (advisor) ; Švelch, Jaroslav (referee)
This master's thesis describes the use of microtransactions in video games and their influence over the game design, player experience, and virtual goods presentation. The goal was to compare the titles that use different monetization methods (paid and free to play games) and different types of microtransactions (functional and cosmetic), and to identify which parts of those games could be influenced by microtransactions and how. The research focuses on five titles - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Anthem, Warframe a Path of Exile. The first part of the thesis summarises the historical evolution of monetization models used in video games and defines the terms microtransaction, micropayment, virtual goods, or loot box. It also contains a typology of microtransactions, describes their implementation methods, and possible consequences tied to their use. The second part focuses on the analysis of the chosen five games. The research used the following methods - analysis of my own gameplay and mutual comparison of each game. Each game was examined over the course of ten hours, in sessions about 45-60 minutes long - the gameplay was accompanied by video recordings of the gameplay, screenshots, and a journal that contained detailed information about each gaming session. The research...

Time lapse travel
Sodomková, Natálie ; Smetana, Matěj (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
Project "Time lapse travel" is simple 2D adventure game, placed in real environment of Vodarensky les near Svitavy. Content is about fairy tales, folklore, time, magic realism and my own personal mythology. My goal is to create a specific atmosphere with stylization of the theme and distinctive visual art style. Whole project is a connection of experiments and digital games together to ask the question if its posssible for the interaction to provide a subjective atmosphere.
