Studies showed that identification with game characters resulted in players aligning their view with the game characters. However, very little is done about the influence of identification with non-player characters (NPCs) on attitudes. Flow state, which is influenced by the balance of challenge and skill, is another contributing factor to players’ attitudes. However, the relationships among challenge, skill, and attitudes are inconclusive. To address the two research gaps, this study examines the relationships among challenge, skill, flow, identification with multiple game characters, and the impact on players’ attitudes toward immigrants. Fifty-six adult participants were invited to play the game Papers, Please and responded to a pre-game and a post-game questionnaire. Results showed that identification with both player character and NPCs significantly predicted post-game attitude toward immigrants, but in different ways. Perceived flow did not predict post-attitude. Perceived flow and challenge positively predicted identification with only the player character. Research and game design implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":421754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128939804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fields such as Neuroscience, Medical and Affective Computing are currently using games to study human-based phenomena. Even though a vast amount of work exists within the field, rarely is the subject of designing such games ever touched upon. In fact a common problem within the field is that the games themselves are often an afterthought, where certain gameplay limitations are never truly acknowledged and tend to be mostly ignored. Thus, this paper intends to provide some game design guidelines to the most common problems found in literature from work specifically using games for human physiological data-collection purposes. Furthermore, a brief description of the most popular physiological recording methods: Skin Conductance (SC), Heart-Rate Variability (HRV), Electromyogram (EMG), Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI); are provided as the game-play “limitations” of using such devices are an important factor to take into consideration in the game design process. As such, the objective of this paper is to provide awareness of specific game design limitations found in literature and analyse them from a game design perspective.","PeriodicalId":421754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125354567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive summary of the literature for conducting museum visitor evaluations is needed in order to understand how to measure the impact of gamification on user engagement, and the enhancement of the cultural heritage experience on learning. This paper first reviews related literature regarding the application of intrusive versus non-intrusive user evaluation methods, focusing on the REMIND protocol for conducting experiments with museum visitors. We relay our findings when applying the REMIND protocol in four gamified cultural heritage applications in the CrossCult project. Focusing on the assessment of informal learning in an application specifically designed for the visitors of the National Gallery of London, the paper concludes with recommendations, challenges, and future steps in evaluating games for cultural heritage.","PeriodicalId":421754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125564166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work is done through a game design postmortem of La Mancha, a storytelling card game based on Miguel de Cervantes’ 1605 novel Don Quixote. The game allows players to interact with and reshape moments from the novel through guided storytelling using quotes from books that influenced Cervantes. This postmortem describes two approaches to design: design precedents and the “collected work theory” of game analysis; that were integral to La Mancha’s creation. To accomplish this, this postmortem describes previous efforts to translate literary works into tabletop design and the different ways those efforts allow players to interact with their source material's content and themes. It also describes how individual moments from Don Quixote, its themes, and critical analysis were used to design not only the overall game, but individual interactions, cards, and even pieces of artwork for the game. Finally, the role of these concepts in La Mancha’s Kickstarter funding campaign and commercial release will be described, including ways which the lessons learned will be incorporated into future works.","PeriodicalId":421754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126680293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different decks differ wildly in terms of their strategy, from very agressive decks that seek to attack the opponent early, to decks relying on certain combinations of cards, to decks that are focused on responding to the opponent’s and ending the game slowly. The player community has therefore given names to different deck archetypes, depending on the strategy they pursue. When playing the game, knowing which archetype the opponent’s deck is likely to have helps inform a player on how they should adapt their own strategy to best counter the opponent’s. In this paper we introduce the problem of predicting a player’s deck archetype from minimal information, in particular only from the actions they performed on their first turn. We discuss the relevance of this problem, and how it can help players adapt to the opponent’s strategy, as well as information that can be learned from it. While the information was intentionally chosen to be minimal, due to the nature of the game it still varies in size from game to game, which presents an additional challenge. We describe different approaches to handle this information and their performance applied to this problem, comparing standard statistical methods with Recurrent Neural Networks, and their relative trade-offs, in particular with regards to training time.","PeriodicalId":421754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125964590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Can we reveal engaging moments of gameplay by observing the way the viewers of the game behave? To address these questions in this paper, we reframe the way gameplay engagement is defined and we view it, instead, through the eyes of a game’s live audience. We build prediction models for viewers’ engagement based on data collected from the popular battle royale game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds as obtained from the Twitch streaming service. In particular, we collect viewers’ chat logs and in-game telemetry data from several hundred matches of five popular streamers (containing over 100,000 game events) and machine learn the mapping between gameplay and viewer chat frequency during play, using small neural network architectures. Our key findings showcase that engagement models trained solely on 40 gameplay features can reach accuracies of up to 80% on average and 84% at best. Our models are scalable and generalisable as they perform equally well within- and across-streamers, as well as across streamer play styles.","PeriodicalId":421754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127479782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
