Theoretical analysis demonstrates a unifying semiotic framework for computer game studies, highlighting how integrating ludology and narratology clarifies the hybrid medium of video games.

Key Points

To resolve the methodological divide between ludology and narratology in computer game scholarship by proposing a unifying semiotic framework.
Conducted a conceptual and theoretical analysis evaluating ludological and narratological methodologies within game studies.
Applied semiotic theory to reconcile gameplay rules with narrative structures, expanding upon Gonzalo Frasca's earlier reconciliatory proposals.
Identifies semiotics as an operative perspective capable of evaluating both shared narrative properties and varying levels of player interaction.
Establishes a common methodological ground that accounts for the hybrid nature of games, facilitating communication across theoretical disciplines.
