Über diesen Titel

In this episode we discuss a concept which has been important – but implicit – in many previous episodes: semiotics, or meaning-making through signs. Hosts Dr. Ibi and Dr. Joe cover topics including:


  • The linguistic foundations and broad applications of semiotics;
  • Definitions and different types of signs;
  • Multi-modal semiotics in (video) games;
  • Genre-specific and genre-independent semiotics;
  • The relationship between signs and ludemes;
  • Examples such as UI, rarity colours, and controls;



Contains some strong (and other types of) language.
