Video games, books and film adaptations and their impact on gaming community
Přichystal, Jan ; Haupt, Jaromír (referee) ; Šedrlová, Magdalena (advisor)
Cílem této práce je popsat postupy používané při převádění knihy do podoby videohry, hlavní aspekty tohoto procesu, změny v daných médiích, které při tomto procesu probíhají a popsat spojení vznikající mezi videohrami, literaturou a filmy. Nastíní také některé z nových technologií používaných při vývoji videoher. Hlavní témata této práce budou demonstrována na sérii knih, seriálu a populárním RPG Zaklínač, původně vytvořené polským spisovatelem Andrzejem Sapkowským. V porovnání s těmito populárními slovanskými příběhy budou dalšími příklady především e-sport hry a také mnoho dalších her jiných žánrů. Nicméně to není jediné téma popisované v této práci. Zaměřuje se také na vliv vztahů mezi knihami, filmy a videohrami na společnost, nebo přesněji, na herní komunitu. Tento vliv můžeme pozorovat v mnoha oblastech, např. subkulturách fanoušků (fandom), kostýmových hrách (cosplay) a profesionálním hraní videoher (e-sporty). Tvrzení, která publikuji v této části bakalářské práce, budou také podloženy mým vlastním výzkumem provedeným za pomoci Google Formulářů na vzorku hráčů videoher z Facebookové stránky Hráči 2.0.
