- Lennart Nacke, Quo Vadis 2007
- Jussi Holopainen, NOKIA
- Thomas Howalt, IO Interactive
- Martin Lorber, EA Germany
- Stephan Reichart, GAME & Aruba
- Sten Selander, Spelplan
- Stacey Spiegel, I-mmersion
- The main objective of FUGA is to
- create novel methods and
- improve existing measures
- in order to examine how the different dimensions of
- computer game experience
- can be assessed comprehensively with high temporal resolution.
- Lennart Nacke, Quo Vadis 2007
- Lennart Nacke, Quo Vadis 2007
- Psychophysiological recordings
- facial electromyography [EMG]
- electroencephalography [EEG]
- electrocardiography [ECG]
- electrodermal activity [EDA]
- Respiration
- Functional magnetic resonance imagining (fMRI)
- Eye movement, gaze, and interaction logging
- The so-called (online) implicit association test
- Tracking of behavioral indicators of emotion and motivation
- Lennart Nacke, Quo Vadis 2007
- Lennart Nacke, Quo Vadis 2007
- Game experience measures
- Establishing
- Construct validity
- Reliability
- Predictive validity
- Develop a prototype
- An emotionally adaptive game
- Scientific impact
- Contribute to rise of European games industry
- Innovative measurement approaches
- Apply methods for game design
- Useful for multiple purposes
- Entertainment
- Education
- Therapy
- Space Simulation
- Aviation and Military
- Lennart Nacke, Quo Vadis 2007
- Developing game stimuli
- Stimulus?
- Design experiences for players
- Modding approach
- Decided to use Source SDK (Half-Life 2)
- Great editor
- Access to source code
- Combine with Eye-Tracker SDK
- Event logging
- Develop iteratively
- Dual development approach:
- Priorities
- Architecture (brushes, props)
- Npcs, AI
- Code integration
- Geared towards combat gameplay
- Important for measuring challenges
- No multiple choice, textual dialog system
- Choreography scenes and on-screen text
- No inventory
- Items collected are health and ammunition
- HMTH direct combat challenges
- Easy-to-kill npcs (boredom conditions)
- Hard-to-kill npcs (frustration conditions)
- CKIR facial expression congruency
- Smiling npc
- Player shall cooperate with him
- Player shall kill him
- Angry looking npc
- Player shall cooperate with him
- Player shall kill him
- Lennart Nacke, Quo Vadis 2007
- Once levels are ready
- Experiments start
- Psychophysiological data
- Questionnaires
- Investigate hypotheses
- Results will be distributed
- I am looking for…
- Support from publishers
- Games we can use for our studies
- Contribution of other game research studies
- Open-minded developers
- We always like to look at new middleware
- Maybe this will prove to be useful for your game
- Possible place to investigate game design for 6 months
- Keep in mind
- Research results are free!!
- Lennart Nacke, Quo Vadis 2007
- EU wants research in games
- Our study starts this fall
- Stay open-minded to game research
- It is your free benefit
- Changing requirements increases dev time
- Requirements always change (!!)
- Think internationally
