Delivered at Casual Connect USA 2017. As casual games evolve in quality, gameplay, and from one platform to another including MR/VR, audio for these games must also evolve. This includes greater attention to detail, so that it directly supports gameplay and player motivations. Stock sounds and carpeted music will only detract from game experiences that are becoming more nuanced and intimate. As such, audio must become an integral part of these experiences.

Ig1 task 2 analysis work sheet Watch_Dogs
The document analyzes the soundtrack of the game Watch_Dogs. It describes the setting as a modern day public place based on the initial conversation. The mood starts calm but gets intense with alarms. The genre is suggested to be an action or shooter game based on the alarms and later conversation about "taking someone out". The narrative involves a phone conversation between two men and a later conversation about a contract. Production techniques used include recording audio in a crowded public place and editing voices to sound over phone or from different perspectives.
Game interface
The game controls use the SPACE bar to jump and ENTER to shoot. These keys were chosen because they are in natural positions and commonly used for jumping and shooting in other games. When the player collides with an obstacle or falls, they are taken to a death page where they can press SPACE to restart. The game is designed for computer only since the controls are easier to use on a bigger screen compared to mobile. When hit, the music stops and a slashing sound plays, while a bullet sound notifies the player when they fire their shot.

Meaningful play 2014 chris yap slides pd fv_01
(Presented at the International Academic Conference on Meaningful Play 2014, Michigan State Univ. Oct 17, 2014)
The concept of emergence--that a certain thing may emerge from several distinct (and not necessarily related) parts, which is different, larger in scope, and mostly originally unintended or expected--exists in many fields such as Philosophy, Information Science, and biology. With respect to the modern video game, emergence can potentially manifest as emergent narrative and/or emergent gameplay. Furthermore, emergence in games can potentially manifest through true technological, procedurally-generated gameplay and/or a game design which encourages emergence from the game elements within the mind of the player.
In this paper, we engage in a critical discussion about what it means for an interactive video game to have emergence. Firstly, we will be briefly discussing what emergence means to other scientific disciplines, and in doing so delineate specifically how we will be using the term "Emergent" in reference to interactive video games. We then frame the discussion of Emergence in games by considering a range of recent video game examples, and a close critical look at the indie games Papers, Please and Gone Home. From these analyses, we propose a concept of "Player-side emergence in games," in which emergence in the form of narrative is expressible and observable in games as the result of the current technological capabilities of games, which relies not on the game software itself, but rather upon the complex system of the human mind for reconstruction of the game experience and a subsequent expression of emergence. In this proposed concept, the constituent narrative pieces offered by a game can be expressed emergently as a unified, overall game narrative experience by the player mind. Based on this concept, we propose that emergence in a game need not wait or rely upon the advent of a truly, technology-based procedurally-generated platform, but rather can be an expression of player-side experiential reconstruction. We conclude that emergent narrative between video game and player can manifest so long as a human player can be encouraged via the game's mechanics towards an overall narrative reconstruction whose blueprint does not wholly originate from the source game, and we also contend that such an emergent design consideration can be potentially useful for designers who are trying to deal with the trade-off of Ludo-Narrative Dissonance in their games.
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.
Starcraft Habit Formation
The document discusses strategies for forming, strengthening, and maintaining habits, using video games as an example. It suggests making habits visually attractive, spreading through social networks, and building on existing habits to attract newcomers. To strengthen habits, it recommends making the activity highly available, done in short predictable sessions, and competitive. Finally, it proposes maintaining habits through public ranking systems, tiered difficulty levels, and continued incentives.
The Pixel Lab 2014_Michel Reilhac_What Are We Learning?
The document discusses 10 keywords for interactive storytelling:
1. People - Stories are now focused on normal people rather than unreachable beings.
2. Authentic - Stories must come from within the community being portrayed and avoid staged realities.
3. Creative - Creativity requires stepping into uncertainty and using tools like play, doubt, and questioning.
4. proposal
Monster Hunters Incorporated is a video game proposal for a laser shooter game targeted towards 16-19 year olds of either gender. The game is inspired by arcade games from the 1970s-1980s like Space Invaders and features a monster hunter protecting a city from invading monsters. Players will choose a character and battle formations of monsters similarly to Space Invaders, using houses instead of shields. The game will have a character selection, game over, and mission complete screens. The proposal creator aims to evaluate the animation quality and whether planning and research helped achieve the intended outcome.
Faculty computer science & information technology
The document describes a redesigned version of the classic snake game that could be played on an interactive tabletop by elderly users. The tabletop would detect the movement of a virtual snake controlled by handles on the edge of the table as well as a ball rolled across the surface. The game is designed to encourage social interaction, exercise fine motor skills, and provide an enjoyable activity for elderly users to engage in.
Designing Game Interfaces
Mike Jones discusses game interface design. Interfaces should provide relevant information to players while occupying minimal screen space and being unobtrusive. They need not be permanently visible and can adapt over time. Simplicity is important and interfaces should avoid "shrink wrapping" games. The document also discusses the poetics of space and impermanence versus finality. It references two theses on interfaces and immersion in FPS games and notes touch-based devices require additional design considerations as player thumbs can obscure the screen. Questions are welcomed.
Week1 Interactivity
The document discusses the history of interactivity and the digital medium from the 1960s to the 2000s. It covers early developments like programming languages, networked systems, and games. Important concepts discussed include symbolic representation, hypertext, virtual spaces, and how computers have become tools for businesses, education and entertainment. The document also examines the evolution of interactivity and how users can now enter online spaces and participate through navigation and manipulation.
Smaf Design Proposal
The document proposes a gaming app called Smaf that aims to raise awareness about food wastage. The app allows users to throw digital food at moving targets and other players to relive the thrill of a food fight. It is intended to be an addictive and engaging arcade game available offline on mobile. A business model is suggested involving free and paid versions with additional features to monetize the game. The proposal concludes that Smaf could be a radically innovative game for a good cause.
Games4 healthalabi
The document discusses accessible and player-centric game interface design. It emphasizes figuring out what players want through fun, varied experiences and customizable options.

Succeeding in the Maturing Mobile Gaming Market | Tuyen Nguyen, Owen O’Donoghue
Delivered at Casual Connect USA 2019. While mobile gaming continues to boast tremendous revenue growth, the industry is entering a new phase of maturation. In order to stay competitive, it’s essential to develop a strategy that’s focused on building great games, adopting sophisticated marketing practices, and putting your customers first. In this session, we’ll share trends, research and recommendations allowing you to adapt your business in a mature market, and develop a monetization strategy that prioritizes value for your customers.
Staying on Top of Your Game: Engaging and Converting Players in an Evolving L...
The document discusses trends in player conversion and monetization in mobile games. It summarizes analysis of hundreds of billions of player actions and tens of millions of in-app purchases over three months. Some key points made include:
- Half of players who make purchases ("convert") do so nearly 3 days after installing the game, with many converting later, so ongoing messaging is important to keep players engaged.
- The average time to first purchase is increasing, with some purchases happening over 68 hours after installing. Continued communication about value and incentives are needed.
- Revenue is concentrating in fewer players who make larger purchases. Developers need targeted communication strategies to keep high value players invested.

The rise of the regulators | Paul Gardner
Regulators are becoming more significant in the gaming industry due to the growth and widespread reach of games, as well as their potential to negatively impact business and players. Regulators are focusing on issues like monetization techniques that exploit children, gambling elements, and games that encourage overengagement. The industry needs to proactively respond by not ignoring regulators, staying informed of policy developments, factoring regulations into product design, and considering regulations in strategic planning, as oversight is the new normal.
Why the Games Industry Needs Initiatives Like Putting The G Into Gaming | Liz...

Game Changers: Three Business Disruptions Upon Us | Eric Goldberg
Three major business disruptions are upon the game industry: spectating, subscriptions, and connective communications channels like social media. Spectating involves watching games rather than playing and could account for 10-20% of game consumption. Subscriptions provide access to games for a monthly fee but have yet to succeed at scale in games. Connective channels like Facebook and Twitch influence player relationships and interactions more than individual game developers. To succeed, developers must prioritize managing player relationships across these channels rather than focusing solely on their own games.

Soft Launch Planning and Management | Dylan Tredrea
1. Soft launches are different from regular live operations and require specific strategies to maximize learning.
2. It is important to take risks and make big changes during soft launches to learn as much as possible, as learnings accumulate over multiple tests and most soft launches fail.
3. Proper soft launch planning includes preparing server-side controls, operations plans, and qualitative feedback channels to support high-risk, high-reward experiments that could potentially "break" the game.

Commercial and Contractual Stability in Esports | Adam Whyte
This document discusses the need for contractual stability in esports through the use of smart contracts. It notes that esports currently lacks professionalism due to localized paper solutions being used in a global digital world, which can lead to problems with payments, data issues, and adversarial relationships. The document proposes that a smart contract platform could automate payments and obligations to align interests, source data directly from participants, and increase transparency through standardized contract terms.
