ABSTRACT

In 1999, Thomas Dlugaiczyk founded the Games Academy in Berlin, the first and foremost educational and training institution for computer game developers in Europe. There is no science fiction. George Lucas was the first Hollywood producer and director, who played both pianos very well: games and movies. In 1982 he founded Lucasfilm Games to develop games, first as standalone projects, later more for the purpose of licensing products for his own Star Wars story. Lucasfilm is regarded as the most important representative of games-related filmmakers and an impressive example for chances and boundaries of the exchange from movie picture art and games. Games are provided by a completely different and very complex and sometimes strange system of monetarization you really do not want to have in the movie industry. Games are a kind of virtual reality. Computer and video games are just a technical extension of playing. Training is a part of the biological use of playing, of course.
