Video games, books and film adaptations and their impact on gaming community
Přichystal, Jan ; Haupt, Jaromír (oponent) ; Šedrlová, Magdalena (vedoucí práce)
This thesis aims at describing techniques used in the process of making a book into a video game, main aspects of such a transition, changes in different media that occur during this process and describing the relations between video games, literature and movies. It also comments on some of the recent technologies used in the process of developing a video game. Main topics of this thesis will be demonstrated on the series of books, TV show and popular RPG The Witcher, originally created by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. In rather contrasting comparison with these popular Slavic tales, the other examples will be mostly e-sport games and also a variety of other games of different genres. However, this is not the only topic described in this thesis. It also aims at the impact of the relationship between books, movies and games on the society – or more precisely – the gaming community. The impact can be seen in many fields – e.g. subcultures composed of fans (fandom), costume play (cosplay), and professional gaming (e-sports). The statements concerning this part of the bachelor thesis will be also supported by my own research conducted using Google Forms, with a sample of video game players from a Facebook site Hráči 2.0.
