Notes de l'éditeur
Talk about the precise techniques used within serious games to measure the users abilities, learning progressions and engagement levels.This is a brief slide talking about we learnt psychology from serious games, and that we come from an academic background.
This slide goes straight onto the six rules of influence (next slide)
Traditional Game Design + Mechanics + Social Game Design + MechanicsUpdated gaming mechanisms.User experience designers are the new game designers.
Don’t use Gamification just because you think it will increase customer/visitor’s ect. Carefully think about how you could motivate users, before going full force into adding game mechanics to anything. There are many examples of how not to add Gamification, Badges being a culprit to this movement!
This is from our Game Mechanics Card Game.
We don’t just add game mechanics we carefully craft experiences using our psychological gaming expertise in order to create engaging experiences that get results.Adding Play is a product methodology, its how we Gamify your Brand/Product/Service.
Also talking about how they can impact their student community, how ideas are communal decisions. Ideas are regulated by the community, if the whole student body doesn’t agree with an idea it can be left alone. Giving the students power and enabling community collaborative power to take place.
To create loyalty to get those retention rates up, you need to create some sort of value around your product/brand/site.Creating value is about driving the player to positive experience’s. Motivational theory. David McellandCreating value: turning extrinsic into intrinsic motivation – this is when you strike gold, if done correctly.
Gets player’s thinking about their future career.as well as starts a conversation. “Hey playing last night did you get effected by the world recession, I lost my job”Games don’t change people, people change people.Something fun to do inside and outside the classroom.Its not just the kids, the parents are playing it too!Key end not of this slide is “92% students discovered new jobs playing the game”
Variable Challenges: Allowed conversation to start “did you get hit by that recession last night” “Yeah lost my job”We are engaging kids to enable them to talk with each other.
To name a few game mechanics.What vehicles “game mechanics/social game mechanics” we used to get the psychology to work.Also players could add there friends into their worlds, view their friends worlds and gift items to their friends.Player and Global events start conversation “Oh did you get hit by that world recession last night”MeTycoon encourages conversation, players talking to their friends about events in the game is a good thing.Games don’t change people, people change people.
