چکیده
How to guide players towards a more interesting experience without taking away player agency is a key challenge in game design. In this paper, we propose our approach for guiding players’ spatial navigation in 3D adventure games. Based on close analysis of popular adventure games, we propose a set of five 3D structural composition patterns to guide players through level design. To evaluate their effectiveness, we conducted a user study using two versions of a grey-box environment embodying these patterns in varied ways. Our results show that the Shifting Elevation pattern and the Directional Line pattern have a strong impact on influencing player’s movement choices.

Current research refers to videogames as a constant variable.
