On, Off, and in the Map: Materializing Game Experiences Through Player Cartography

image of On, Off, and in the Map: Materializing Game Experiences Through Player Cartography

This chapter focuses on maps produced and used by players, seeking to understand them as recording devices that capture and preserve narratives and experiences. It takes the position that the materiality of maps emerges both in their very existence and relation to place, and in the way they chronicle experience and record a past. For fictional gameworlds, this distinction is arguably emphasized because the relation to ‘real’ place is weakened or non-existent.

Cartographic practices in games are, however, also enmeshed in discussions about colonialism. In many games, exploration is connected with conflict, and mapping often represents the objectification of space in the service of player narratives. Such objectification surely limits the forms of narrative that can emerge, so what narratives – and what pasts – can and do such maps record? How do they offer an account of experience? And what is it that is made material in their materiality?
