Web Game Portal
Kubíček, Martin ; Křivka, Zbyněk (referee) ; Burget, Radek (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is the design and reconstruction of the already existing ImmortalFighters web portal system. The thesis analyses in detail the current system in order to prevent errors right from the start of the proposed changes in design. As part of the proposed change, a new database and a new site structure were created. The nature and logic of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy game and the possibility of using modern object-oriented technology for use in the web-based versions were explored. An analysis was made of possible technologies that are or have the capability of object-oriented design, and could therefore be used for the actual implementation. The most suitable technology was then chosen for this according to very clearly defined criteria. The work also presents the proposed changes that arise from analysis and personal experience accumulated from a long-term presence on the web portal. The practical part of the proposal is done using special technology - the Symfony 2 and Doctrine 2 PHP frameworks of an object-relational model, so that significant improvement and fundamental differences as compared the current solutions were clearly seen.

Teoretická sekce práce se zaměřuje na základní principy japonského umění, jeho formy a estetiku, což jsou faktory, které stojí za současnou japonskou herní tvorbou. Je popsán jedinečný charakter japonských her ve srovnání s hrami v západním stylu, stejně jako důvody vedoucí k těmto rozdílům. Tři RPG herní tituly jsou porovnány z hlediska uživatelského rozhraní, grafického designu a vlastností postav.

The Scar
Sláma, Matěj ; Nytra, Martin (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
Diploma thesis Scar is a short film about the fictional history of the found „monument“. In the animated film, I examine the context and meaning of the „monument“ in a virtual environment that I created based on visual documentation and mapping of specific places that I explored during my expeditions through the urban landscape of Brno and The Hague. These are mainly „lost“ spaces (also referred to as vague terrain or no man's land), which inspired me to create my own visual map of my urban explorations. The starting point of the work is personal lived experience, which I reflect by documenting places, creating 3D objects and manipulating 3D scans of „lost“ spaces with elements of computer games. In the resulting film, the viewer follows a guide–walk through a virtual environment where objective reality is intentionally blended with a fictional world built on the author's imagination.

Ethnographic study of Role-playing in World of Warcraft
Dušek, Ondřej ; Švelch, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Reifová, Irena (referee)
This thesis explores the almost unexplored phenomenon of role-playing in the MMORPG video game genre, focusing specifically on role-playing in World of Warcraft (WoW). Its assumption is that although players of this genre overwhelmingly focus on the gameplay aspects of the game, role-playing in MMORPGs exists and takes place as an activity of the fringe culture of players. The aim of this thesis is to investigate this phenomenon in WoW, to find out how role- playing in the game takes place and what artificial reality role-playing participants create in the virtual world of the game, and also to define this phenomenon as a form of role-playing The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into three segments. The first segment deals with role-playing itself and the role-playing game (RPG) genre, which is superior to the MMORPG subgenre. The second segment delves into the known knowledge about role-playing in MMORPGs, and the third describes the examined game WoW. In order to fulfill the goals of this thesis and answer the research questions, ethnographic procedures are used in the research part, by which the author of this thesis infiltrates the virtual role-playing environment in WoW and actively participates in the events, which he further describes and analyzes. Based on the analysis of field...

Working with a storyline in computer games
Valentová, Simona ; Mocná, Dagmar (advisor) ; Klumparová, Štěpánka (referee)
The bachelor thesis with the topic "Working with a storyline in computer games" consists of two parts. The first part defines and explains necessary terms which are connected with the narrative methods or playing computer games. There is also described how the story works and its parts in general, relevant game and literary genres. This part also references to some scientific approaches, which have already been applied to the narrative components of computer games. Second part of the bachelor thesis is dedicated to analysis, interpretation and comparison of two particular computer games according to defined theoretic findings. These games are World of Warcraft and The Black Mirror, which are different almost in all aspects, thus they are suitable for showing their various working with the story. This bachelor thesis tries to show a specific conception of the story within the computer game, which is considered as a separate medium.
