By conducting an ethnographic study of the online environment Eve Online, and using as a comparative the offshore gaming industry, I consider how we might look to regulate, and resolve disputes within, online gaming environments. In doing so, I adopted a novel approach to the study of online gaming environments --- that of norms --- which gave significance not only to the terms of service dictated by platform providers and their legal advisors, but also to the social and ludic limitations and affordances players constructed themselves.\u0000 Finally, through an account of the evolution of regulatory mechanisms and dispute resolution in the offshore gambling industry, I consider how an environment which features much in common with online gaming environments overcame a number of these challenges within the last 10--15 years, and what lessons might be taken from those experiences and applied to contemporary online gaming environments.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

Based on the ideas of tangible and tabletop interfaces, Tisch was developed to explore how technology can support and enhance tabletop gaming activities without becoming a hindrance or removing the players' agency over the rules. Through doing so, Tisch allows players to behave in their accustomed manner, including having unrestricted social interactions and using whatever rules they wish to whatever degree they wish. This is proposed as a solution to harnessing the advantages that computers offer analog games through both offloading unwanted tasks and enhancing immersion.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

Previously, player models were designed using user surveys, small-scale observation experiments, or knowledge engineering. These methods generally produced semantically meaningful models that were limited in their applicability. To address this, we have developed a purely data-driven methodology for generating player models based on past observations of other players. Our underlying assumption is that we can accurately predict what a player will do in a given situation if we examine enough data from former players that were in similar situations. We have chosen to test our method on achievement data from the MMORPG World of Warcraft. Experiments show that our method greatly outperforms a baseline algorithm in both precision and recall, proving that this method can create accurate player models based solely on observation data.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

But game mechanics are central here as well, with different tools supporting the elements needed for some game mechanics (and genres) but not others. Research suggests many children, especially girls, want to create games based on dynamic relationships, social interactions, and storytelling. But game creation tools aimed at beginners offer no support for game mechanics that would enable such games. This inspires our work on Kodu AI Lab, a set of extensions to Kodu Game Lab, which we are iteratively developing and evaluating with middle school girls. This paper describes our first extensions (attitudes, learning, and fuzzy logic), the principles guiding them (simplicity, understandability, and expressiveness) and the results of our first evaluation. We conclude with our next planned development: extending the \"say\" command into a game mechanic.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

World of Warcraft, like many MMORPGs, suffers noticeably from the less challenging pacing of its later-game scenarios compared to its earlier-game content. To examine this observation in detail, a World of Warcraft client-side plugin was created to record data about the players' progress throughout a cooperative scenario, including health, power, map position, class, and role. This data was analyzed to measure the pacing of each session. The results showed a drop in difficulty between late-game level 80 five-person group content and level 70 five-person group content. Using this basic metric to quantify the level of difficulty is a step forward in designing scalable and adaptable scenarios that can continue to challenge players of all experience levels.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

Chinese is a notoriousloy difficult language to learn, and teaching methods that are used take a long time and can be tedious[7], but these techniques have been shown to be effective[11]. We believe that by creating a serious game that uses newer second language acauisition techniques, the learning process can be expidited and enjoyable. Our game exposes the player to an abundance of simple, comprehensible target language input, which provides an interesting, motivating, and low stress setting. Also Lost in the Middle Kingdom utilizes total immersion, focusing on the language's culture to create a holistic experience.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

Therefore, virtual camera control plays a critical role in player experience and, thereby, in the overall quality of a computer game. Both game industry and game AI research focus on the development of increasingly sophisticated systems to automate the control of the virtual camera integrating artificial intelligence algorithms within physical simulations. However, in both industry and academia little research has been carried out on the relationship between virtual camera, game-play and player behaviour. We run a game user experiment to shed some light on this relationship and identify relevant differences between camera behaviours through different game sessions, playing behaviours and player gaze patterns. Results show that users can be efficiently profiled in dissimilar clusters according to camera control as part of their gameplay behaviour.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.

Although this game has been proven to be successful at teaching students these concepts, many participants reported wanting more competitive and free-play creative elements in the game. In response, we augmented the BeadLoom Game with a competitive high score table, a creative custom puzzle mode, and a social network framework. Here we report results of an experiment where middle school students are given versions of the BLG with different combinations of these new features. Based on the in-game metrics and player surveys we show that while both the competitive and the creative game modes increase a majority of the player's motivation it is not until we add both features that we maximize this effect. Through a combination of creative and competitive game modes we are able to have the highest motivation for the largest number of different players.","PeriodicalId":92512,"journal":{"name":"FDG : proceedings of the International Conference on Foundations of Digital Games.
