This project will explore videogames' portrayals of nature and the eco-critical significance of the mechanical, narrative, and aesthetic functions assigned to natural environments. Establishing the textual impact of videogames' human creators and the complex convergence of player and character identities, this project will discuss, analyse, and adapt eco-critical theory to consider a diverse sample of videogames that spans genres and time. Through this, my study will produce an in-depth investigation of the anthropocentric natural environments present in videogames, designed for, and defined by the player's interactions, revealing the extent to which current design conventions reinforce and reward exploitations of nature.

该项目将探索电子游戏对自然的描绘，以及赋予自然环境的机械、叙事和美学功能的生态批判意义。建立视频游戏的人类创作者的文本影响和玩家和角色身份的复杂融合，该项目将讨论，分析和调整生态批判理论，以考虑跨越类型和时间的视频游戏的多样化样本。通过这一点，我的研究将产生一个深入的调查，在视频游戏中存在的以人为中心的自然环境，设计，并由玩家的互动定义，揭示了在何种程度上，目前的设计惯例加强和奖励自然的剥削。
