Poetic Videogames: A Haiku Perspective (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781291667103)

This book was originally submitted to the IT University of Copenhagen as a master's thesis in 2013 under the title of "Games and Poetry: Player associations with poetic game experiences". It explores the concept of the poetic videogame, a game that has an imaginative or sensitively emotional style of expression or effect on the player that, as a whole, is different from the kinds of experiences that shape the current videogame landscape. It offers a framework for the creation of poetic videogames by looking at one specific type of poetry; haiku. This is accomplished by applying the forms and conventions of haiku, such as its three elements; when, where, what, or the five-seven-five pattern, to videogames.
