Game Theory for Computer Games Design [PDF]
Games and Culture, 2017 Designing and developing computer games can be a complex activity that may involve professionals from a variety of disciplines. In this article, we examine the use of game theory for supporting the design of gameplay within the different sections of a computer game and demonstrate its application in practice via adapted high-level decision trees for ...

Evolutionary Game Design [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games, 2010 It is easy to create new combinatorial games but more difficult to predict those that will interest human players. We examine the concept of game quality, its automated measurement through self-play simulations, and its use in the evolutionary search for new high-quality games. A general game system called Ludi is described and experiments conducted to

Application of Pattern Language for Game Design in Pedagogy and Design Practice
Information, 2021 Existing implementations of game design patterns have largely been confined to theoretical or research settings. Weaknesses in these implementations have prevented game design patterns from being properly evaluated as an educational and practical ...

Outlining a Serious Moral Games in Bioethics
EAI Endorsed Transactions on Ambient Systems, 2014 Our contribution discusses the possibilities and limits of using video games for apprehending and reflecting on the moral actions of their players. We briefly present the results of an extended study that introduces the conceptual idea of a Serious Moral

Game Design as an Autonomous Research Subject
Information, 2021 This paper examines the methods and systems of game design from the standpoint of existing method proposals failing to establish a common basis for systematizing design knowledge, which this paper aims to help resolve. Game design has often been subsumed

A Game Design Method for Therapeutic Games [PDF]
2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES), 2016 One of the most problematic issues in healthcare is the patient's lack of adherence to the therapy. Patients' motivation is indeed hard to maintain when they have to execute repetitive, boring or tedious exercises. In such cases, they tend to practice less regularly and even to entirely give up the therapeutic protocol.

Using formal game design methods to embed learning outcomes into game mechanics and avoid emergent behaviour [PDF]
, 2017 This paper offers an approach to designing game based learning experiences inspired by the Mechanics-Dynamics-Aesthetics (MDA) model (Hunicke et al, 2004) and the elemental tetrad (Schell, 2008) model for game design. A case for game based learning as an

Is participatory design associated with the effectiveness of serious digital games for healthy lifestyle promotion? : a meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Serious digital games can be effective at changing healthy lifestyles, but large differences in their effectiveness exist. The extent of user involvement in game design may contribute to game effectiveness by creating a better fit with user ...
