Building Games for the Long Term: Pragmatic F2P Guild Design (GDC Europe 2013)Kongregate
Every Kongregate talk they're always saying "guilds, guilds, guilds". Sure, but does that even work for my type of game? And what should a guild design for my game look like?
In this design-focused talk, guilds will be deconstructed into their kernel and then built back up feature-by-feature with an eye on implications for retention, monetization, and engagement. Examples from the industry will be used to look at best practices and missed opportunities while it explores traditional and experimental guild elements. It will also walk through the exercise designing a guild system for a popular casual game, challenging the audience to step outside the boundaries of traditional genres when thinking about guilds in games.
Game Design - Monetization
The Deck covers some of the basic aspects and mechanisms of social game design. This is the 1st out of 4 decks, covering the aspects needed for amplifying MONETIZATION among players and users

Abstract: A retrospective of how Developer (Guerrilla) and Publisher QA (SIE) worked together in partnership to help deliver a AAA experience. The presentation will focus on the victories and the challenges we faced as part of testing such an ambitious open-world title, and leveraging automated test solutions and telemetry to inform exploratory test strategy. The presentation will talk about how we managed teams over a 21 month testing lifecycle, with a team ranging from small internal test teams, before scaling up to a team of 70+ people across the globe with tens of thousands of test hours invested. The presentation will cover the successes and challenges relating to our people; early engagement, communication, trust, agility and collaboration. Our processes; risk management, test strategy, and post launch support, and our tools; Telemetry, Risk Registers, Worldwide build delivery.
An introduction to how Space Ape Games runs Live Operations. This lecture will cover a variety of topics from pricing to event schedules. This is an ideal starting point for anyone new to Live Operations or who simply wants to sanity check their own processes against another's.

Level Up Your Talent Development with Gamification [eBook]Monica Cornetti
The Game the System™ Model guides you and your team through the process of gamified learning design. By following the 5-step plan, you are essentially assured a successful outcome.
Gamification invites people to participate and engage by integrating game mechanics and game dynamics into such things as a website, online community, marketing campaign, and as demonstrated in this book – even a traditional training and development program.
By adding game mechanics to training, Gamification not only increases interest, it makes training FUN!
The goal is to increase learning and engagement through key concepts found in game design and behavioral psychology.
Gamification does NOT equal technology … it is really a way of thinking about the development and delivery of your training programs.

We have a lot of talent here in Octalysis Prime, and each Challenge we are impressed with your work. The level of submissions by our trusted veterans is now often so high that new Primers can feel intimidated to participate.
We also noticed that we’ve been focusing on one aspect of Gamification: Brainstorming.
There are many more important aspects of human-focused design: user research, analyzing, game looping, battle-planning, visual design... After all, a good idea only yield results if it’s implemented
in the right place, for the right people, in the right way. So, we decided to do something different.
For this Challenge you will produce a concise finished deliverable.

The OP Design Challenges provide an opportunity to put your Octalysis skills into practice. Watching the videos and interacting with other Primers and the OP Team on Slack is a good start, applying your knowledge will truly take your skills to the next level.
The focus for this challenge will be on implementing existing brainstorming in high fidelity wireframes.
This challenge is based on an Octalysis Group project done for BitDegree, the world’s first blockchain- powered online education platform. Watch their 2017 Launch Video to get an idea about what BitDegree aims to achieve.
Most ‘Massive Open Online Courses’ have a 10-16% completion rate. After the design of the Octalysis Group (by Joris and Sabrina) was implemented, BitDegree now has a 50% completion rate, a 400% increase in course completion in 3 months.The OP Design Challenges provide an opportunity to put your Octalysis skills into practice.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
Can AI do good? at 'offtheCanvas' India HCI preludeAlan Dix

2. Remote Gamification Workshop
Through practical application and passing on my knowledge, I
would like to further develop my gamification and Octalysis
skills. I seek to develop my personal brand and get first
consulting assignments in gamification.
Based on Yu-
kai Chou's Tedx Talk, I have designed an
interactive remote workshop on gamification. It is designed for
about 20 participants and a duration of about 2 hours. We use
Miro as a collaboration tool. So far I have had three great
opportunities to gain some experience with it. In the
meantime, I have three more potential opportunities to
conduct the workshop. The workshop consists of: an
announcement, an introduction, a theory part, a group task, a
summary and a conclusion.
With this analysis I would like to find options to improve the
user engagement.
5. Business Metrics
1 - Increase recognition as a gamification expert.
2 - Increase number of enquiries for advice or training.
