Abstract: “designing games from a values perspective”

Player rewards play a large role in the way values are embedded in games. Using examples from existing games and from the Tiltfactor laboratory, Dr. Flanagan will demonstrate how human values emerge from features or rules of games, as well as other elements which might contribute to a player’s experience. To explore this theme further, a short workshop will ensue to explore how alternate rewards might create different values for games.
