Comments on: New Paper Posted: A Certain Level of Abstraction https://www.jesperjuul.net/ludologist/2007/10/10/new-paper-posted-a-certain-level-of-abstraction/ My name is Jesper Juul, and I am a Ludologist [researcher of the design, meaning, culture, and politics of games]. This is my blog on game research and other important things.

We have been discussing a fair bit on the border between rules and fiction that you depict early in your paper on the gamecode blog following my review of Aarseth’s recent (re?)publication of the Doors and Perception paper in a journal.

Your Starcraft and Age of Empires II discussion also resonates with this “gaming theory” thing I’m working on, so I like that also. I posted a preliminary account of my experience trying out a new game to demonstrate the working of generic markers on my blog. And your observations on game genres, conventions and abstraction are also interesting. Good stuff!
