It’s even weirder when you consider that linguistic genre discusses different categories and type of speech act e.g. presidential speech, in-flight announcement, lecture, greeting, babytalk etc. It’s literally just stratification and typology of how language happens. I don’t know if you could blend genres or create them in the same way you would for textual genres. A presidential speech-poetry recital mashup. Lecture-likes.

There’s a game studies paper that tried to logically distill genre in a similar way and came up with some matrix of ‘action’, ‘strategy’, 'puzzle, ‘RPG’, combinations of which are the root of all games.

I quite like Carolyn Miller’s idea of genre as social action where the genre is just an indication of recurring cultural practice that carries social meaning rather than a taxonomy of texts.


So this post isn’t way off topic. Have some Metroid Dread

Let’s just get back to calling every game an Action-Adventure title

Action and Strategy are the Blockbuster Video-style aisles we need to divide all games into.

I’ll agree to Blockbuster-esque genre sorting so we can segregate anime into its own shelf of shame

: What’s the deal with games on Steam? I click on RPG, and I get first-person shooters! I click on simulation, and I get doggone granpas! It’s bedlam! :guitar:

In 2008, when I was working for the good folks at Janimation in Dallas Tx,
we were hired by Gearbox to create a vertical slice (an animated version of what the game will look like) for the game “Duke Nukem Begins”, a Duke origin story.

I headed up this project, as the director at Janimation, and did a lot of the character development, including the design and modeling of Duke. We poured everything we had into making the most awesome cinematic Janimation had ever created. But unfortunately, we got word the game was canceled due to the legal issues with Duke Nukem at the time.

“Duke Nukem Begins” was never made.

It crushed us, as this was what we thought could help us compete with bigger players in the game trailer market at the time.

Because it is still a piece I am damn proud of, I am releasing it 13 years after its creation. The whole team that worked with me deserves to see this released into the wild.

I hope this somehow resurrects this version of the game by showing the world how awesome it would have been…

This reminds me a lot of the Iron Maiden rail shooter Ed Hunter.
