AWE 2019 Advanced XR UX Standards XEODesign Lazzaro
Pick up any smart phone and gestures to operate it are nearly universal. Put on a set of smart glasses or play a mobile AR game and they are hobbled by out dated UX/UI standards that interfere with the new opportunities on the emerging AR platforms for spacial computing. In contrast to the UX/UI guidelines for WIMP interfaces; precious little has been written about best practices for AR. With screenless information, spatial computing, floating menus, mid air gestures, restyled 3DOF and 6DOF controllers, new graphics, audio, and haptics AR offers novel interaction patterns that demand new interface language and standards. Come join us for a dive into the emerging UX / UI standards for AR and spatial computing with inspiring examples from Leap Motion, North, mixed reality, Magic Leap, as well as some from XEO's own laboratory and latest experiments.
Why i love bees: ARG and collective intelligence
An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform to tell a story through multiple media. I Love Bees was a seminal ARG from 2004 that involved over 100,000 players solving puzzles related to the video game Halo through websites, phone calls, and online discussions. Players had to work together to understand the narrative and help an artificial intelligence trapped on the internet. Developers responded to player actions, adapting the story based on their ideas and progress, in a demonstration of collective intelligence.
VRDC Matrix Vs Pokemon Go
To succeed MR games must transform from cabinets of curiosities to fun emotionally compelling interactive narrative spaces. Advances in input, displays, and AI open up vast new opportunities in game design and narrative. In this talk we time travel to GDC 2020 and take a peek at the 3 MR games many of us want to play.
The talk features 3 compelling future MR scenarios to illustrate 5 core MR design techniques. We dive deep into the design requirements for compelling MR that takes advantage of virtual world overlays, depth maps of existing terrain, NPC and object interaction, and character customization.
Narrative Design Challenges in F2P Games | Ieva Pikutyte
Delivered at Casual Connect Eastern Europe 2018. The F2P market is a tricky minefield to navigate. We're still learning how to enrich core loops with narrative to increase the value of our games. As play sessions and attention spans get shorter, designers must go beyond dialogue to tell rich stories. This lecture explores recent narrative techniques to boost retention for your mobile game. How do we pace and embed stories to drive engagement? Is worldbuilding effective in F2P? How can we give players agency to shape their own stories? It's a new dawn for narrative.

We take a look at some of the world's most famous gaming characters had created a legacy for themselves and their companies.
Character design
This document provides an overview of fundamentals for game character design and development. It discusses key topics like designing compelling characters, visual and behavioral attributes, character archetypes, and providing character growth. Specific examples are given like Darth Vader and how to design an avatar character. The goal of character design is to create characters that players can identify with, care about, and that drive the gameplay and story.
Mitigate Abuse Before it Starts in VR (and traditional games)
This document discusses strategies for mitigating abuse in virtual reality (VR) games through intentional game design. It begins by noting that VR can elicit strong emotions but current games lack features to develop empathy or foster positive social interactions. The rest of the document outlines an approach with four parts: 1) addressing gaps in existing designs, 2) incorporating empathy mechanics, 3) providing tools for players and moderators, and 4) measuring emotional responses to ensure the desired player experience. The overall goal is to guide players toward friendship rather than allowing grievances by designing interactions that balance the four keys of fun.
XRDC Empathy in Wonderland
Empathy, a word often used yet little understood is critical component of any XR experience and separates XR from all other media. This talk covers three empathy deepening XR techniques distilled from 4 years of research from thousands of players in our own XR Lab for Google, Hidden Path, Survios, 'Beat Saber', 'Fragments' (HoloLens), and 3 unannounced titles: Empathy Hurdles, Empathy Bridges, and Empathy Channels. Whether it's to reduce grieving; create branded emotions from Apple; or bring to life deeply rich narrative spaces for the Harry Potter IP; these three empathy techniques double your XR creation's ability to create emotional depth.
Takeaway
Participants walk away with three frameworks for creating empathy and more importantly weaving richer emotional experiences especially through interaction. Empathy Hurdles to increase compassion, Empathy Bridges to magnify social emotions, and after these, Empathy Channels to increase a pantheon of emotions such as feelings of accomplishment, wonder, surprise, excitement, and desire.
Intended Audience
Brands, IP holders, and game developers interested in leveraging XR's unprecedented capacity for generating empathy to strategically create designs that deliver and enhance their mission objectives. These tips target a brand, IP, and game's emotion profile and emotion architecture to the point where simply turning around the XR space opens empathy to create a series of emotions that feels like narrative even without a story.

Gaming for Good - Tech IT Out! 4.30.2011
Jacqueline Urick discusses using gaming and gamification to develop skills for future careers. She argues that if future careers will require technical skills and technology changes rapidly, individuals need to develop attributes like intelligence, wisdom, strength and constitution, as well as skills like input, ideation and strategy. She proposes a system of "questing" by taking classes, building things, reading and more to level up these attributes and skills in an engaging game-like framework. The goal is to develop into an "Awesome You" ready for the future of work.

Video Game #4 Proposal Sure...
The document proposes an action RPG video game called "Infinite Annihilation" targeted towards teenage male gamers. The game would feature a small overworld section leading to a battle with a three-headed monster boss called Hydragon. During the battle, the player controls three characters and uses different attacks like sword and magic. The protagonist gains a super attack gauge throughout the battle. If successful, the player defeats Hydragon and exits the cave through the entrance. However, the creator acknowledges limitations and plans to refine the battle system by researching other RPGs to avoid overcomplication. Progress will be evaluated through weekly blog reflections and a final evaluation PowerPoint.

Peter rabbit garden
Peter Rabbit Garden is a document about the mobile gaming market globally and in Japan. It discusses that Japan only accounts for 2.1% of the worldwide smartphone market share. It also talks about different game genres and their earnings, with farm-type games shown to earn the most money worldwide. The document provides details about two farm games the author developed - "Bunny Farm" and "Peter Rabbit Farm" - and discusses their cloud server architecture with load balancers and databases.
DWS16 - Game Summit - Ryan Kaufman, Telltale Games
This document discusses the power of interactive storytelling in digital games. It outlines 4 principles: 1) Interactivity creates investment by engaging players through their choices and actions. 2) The "Accomplice Effect" makes players feel ownership and emotions from their involvement in the story. 3) Personalization through player-driven choices gives a sense of ownership. 4) Role-playing activates the brain in similar ways as real experiences. It then provides 3 techniques for applying these principles: 1) Use "emotional branching" rather than just location-based branching. 2) Make the story focus on the player character as a vessel for player identity and choices. 3) Respect player choices by not overriding them without good reason.
HERO DEFENSE Mobile Pitch
This document provides an overview and summary of the Hero Defense mobile game. It discusses the key features and monetization strategies for the mobile edition, including free-to-play monetization with soft and premium currencies. Players can purchase rune bags, upgrade heroes and buildings, complete levels on the campaign and haunted island, and participate in multiplayer matches and social leaderboards. The developer aims to add competitive multiplayer, retention mechanics, and continue live operations and updates throughout 2017.
Artificial Intelligence
This document provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI), including its categories, applications, and future scope. It defines AI as the study and design of intelligent agents that can perceive their environment and take actions to maximize success. The document outlines three categories of AI: narrow AI, general AI, and super intelligence. It discusses current applications like expert systems, speech recognition, computer vision, game playing, and smart cars. The future scope section considers both positive and negative outcomes of advanced AI, such as AI pursuing aims that do not align with human values and creating free energy to benefit humanity. The conclusion is that AI has increased understanding of intelligence while also revealing its complexity.
3. research
The document summarizes research on existing fighting and pixel art games. It describes key aspects of several games like Pocket Rumble, Street Fighter V, Home, and Hollow Knight. These include simple yet expressive character designs, detailed backgrounds, lighting that emphasizes characters or environments, and fast-paced combat movements. The research will influence the author's own fighting game project through a simplified and brightly colored character design, as well as a detailed background that complements the characters.

Patrick Curry Meet Up
Patrick Curry has been developing mobile games since 2001. While mobile game development tools and distribution have improved dramatically, the industry has also become much more competitive. Developing mobile games is easier than ever before due to advanced game engines and tools, but it is also harder to succeed financially due to vast choice and short fad cycles. Curry focuses on rapid iterative development with small teams, outsourcing non-core work, and automating processes to stay efficient. He aims to help other developers by open-sourcing the tools and knowledge his company has gained.

Unit 13 assignment 2
This document discusses different graphic styles used in video games including cell shading, exaggeration, photorealism, and abstraction. Cell shading is used to make games appear like cartoons or comics. Exaggeration is used to make characters and environments seem unrealistic and out of the ordinary. Photorealism aims to make games look as realistic as possible by imitating real people, places, and things. Abstraction uses abstract and minimalist graphics that are simplified representations rather than realistic depictions. Examples are provided for each style along with their impacts on the player experience.

Presentation outline
This document discusses different graphic styles used in video games including cel shading, exaggeration, photorealism, and abstraction. It provides examples of games that effectively utilize each style. Cel shading is used to make games like Crackdown and Jet Set Radio feel more like comics or cartoons. Exaggerated features in games like Resident Evil and Afro Samurai make the characters feel more powerful. Photorealistic graphics in FIFA, GTA, and American Idol mimic the real world. Abstraction in games like Rymdkapsel and Starseed Pilgrim appeal to those seeking simpler, less literal designs. Each style impacts the player experience differently depending on the desired tone of the game.

Flappy bird.roviocon.dongnguyen.dotgears.helsinki.2017
- Flappy Bird was created in 2013 by Nguyen Ha Dong as a simple, arcade-style mobile game where the player taps to control a bird flying between pipes. It became unexpectedly popular in early 2014, being downloaded over 90 million times and played 20 billion times that month. However, its success also led to criticism, rumors of lawsuits, and thousands of user emails requesting updates or reporting bugs. Dong ultimately decided to take a break from Flappy Bird to focus on games being fun rather than a source of stress.
Developing commercial AR games for the masses
The document discusses developing commercial augmented reality (AR) games for mobile phones. It notes that phones are the dominant mobile platform, with over 5 billion subscribers in 2010. Games are the top category in mobile app stores, with $29.5 billion expected to be spent on mobile apps in 2013. The document uses the example of the game Paranormal Activity Sanctuary to illustrate key aspects of a successful AR mobile game such as using location, competing with friends, augmenting the real world, and adding "wow" factors. It also discusses technical considerations for AR games on mobile phones today.
