Motivational DesignGames are about pleasure, freedom and escape. They also combine the mostpowerful set of human motivators: Achievement, competition, collaboration, learning &improvement, communication and self expression.

GAMIFICATION IS BULLS*!T “Game developers and players have critiqued gamification on the grounds that it gets games wrong, mistaking incidental properties like points and levels for primary features like interactions with behavioural complexity” Ian Boghost

Jane McGonigal, Director of Games Research and Development at The Institute for the Future, Palo Alto, California1. The goal is the specific outcome that playerswork to achieve. This focuses attention and guidesprogress. It provides the sense of purpose.2. The rules place limitations on how players can achieve thegoal. Rules unleash creativity and foster strategic thinking.3. The feedback system tells players how closethey are to achieving that goal; it can take the form of points, levelsor a progress bar. This provides motivation by being a‘promise’ to players that the goal is definitely achievable.4. Voluntary participation requires thateveryone who is playingthe game knowingly and willingly accepts thegoal; this establishes common ground for numerous people to playtogether. Although competition, collaboration and connectivity are alsokey

Games on consoles or mobile devices have been proven to improve conditions ranging from depression to Parkinson’s disease and recovery from stroke. In a post-PC world, dominated by tablet andmobile devices, directly improving health through game design is a real opportunity for pharmaceutical companies

Triage Trainer develops accurate decision making in the life saving skill of Triage. The game is set at the scene of an explosion in a busy high street and the players job is to prioritise the multiple casualties for treatment.

“Our ultimate aim is to have ordinary people play the game and eventually be candidates for winning the Nobel Prize inbiology, chemistry or medicine.” Zoran Popovic
