how do you design gameful systems?Deterding et al. 2013

lots of industry work, little researchDeterding et al. 2013

the paper
• Conceptual development of requirements from literature
• Review of existing methods against requirements
• Iterative design-based development and evaluation of method through 19 projects & workshops with teams of 2-6 (n=335)

guiding questions 1. What are the enjoyable, motivating experiences
characteristic for gameplay? 2. What game structures and processes afford
these experiences? 3. How does game design create these structures
and processes? 4. How can we integrate this into design methods
for non-game systems?

lenses capture experiential qualities of gameplay#3
Schell 2008, Scott 2010
Juicy Feedback
Varied, unexpectedly excessive sensual positive feedback on small user actions and achievements can instil a sense of competence even without a big challenge to overcome. Its unexpected variety also stokes curiosity.
▪ What are the small steps of your action (e.g. approaching, touching, lifting, moving, releasing in “drag and drop”)?
▪ When does a user achieve a goal?▪ How might you exaggerate the auditory,
visual, and tactile feedback at these steps and achievements, going unexpectedly “over the top”?
▪ Is there a material or creature whose sensual properties might inspire your feedback (like anemones or bubble wrap or dough or …)?
▪ How might you add some variation to that feedback to keep it interesting over time?

evaluation & future work
• Iterative development and evaluation in 19 projects & workshops with 335 participants
• Controlled experiment: implementation designed with method significantly increases user engagement (Buikstra et al. 2015)
• Quantitative testing of designer satisfaction with process
• Quantitative testing of individual components (e.g. lenses vs. other presentation forms)
• Extension to experience-driven design
