Capturing Player Experience with Post-Game Commentaries
نویسندگان
چکیده
Player experience is at the heart of good game design, but designers typically have limited experience data to work with. Detailed and fine-grained accounts of gaming experience would be of great value to designers and researchers alike, but recording such data is a significant challenge. We describe an approach based on post-game player commentaries, retrospective verbal reports cued by video of the gaming session and a word list. A pilot study was carried out to capture player experience of a tutorial level for a third person shooter game. We show how the technique can be used to provide useful game design feedback.

A Quantitative Approach for Modelling and Personalizing Player Experience in First-Person Shooter Games
In this paper, we describe a methodology for capturing player experience while interacting with a game and we present a data-driven approach for modeling this interaction. We believe the best way to adapt games to a specific player is to use quantitative models of player experience derived from the in-game interaction. Therefore, we rely on crowd-sourced data collected about game context, playe...

متن کاملGame-based assessment: an integrated model for capturing evidence of learning in play
2 Introduction A central challenge for video gaming in education is to demonstrate evidence of player learning. A typical approach to assess learning in games is to measure the quality of player learning in terms of independent, pre-post instruments. This process can compare game-based learning against other kinds of interventions, but, in treating the game itself as a black box, we lose the un...
