WHY DO WE PLAY?


Games = Behaviors that prepare humans (and animals) abilities for the vital activities that they will have to do when become

adults


Mammal’s brains have evolved to be able to interact with others with no sexual, aggressive or submissive intentions.


While playing, we use our senses to get information about our position, the intensity of the stimuli, and the interests of others

to continue or stop the activity.


Games help us to maintain a good health, improve the use of tools, problem solving, creativity and our capacity to respond to

surprise and new stimuli.


Kittens love games


Dogs too, and the enjoy playing with humans


And as humans beings we have created large

game-based industries

WHAT IS GAMIFICATION?

MDA Framework


Mechanics - Dynamics - Aesthetics


Mechanics are the base components of the game - its

rules, every basic action the player can take in the game, the

algorithms and data structures in the game engine etc.


Dynamics are the run-time behavior of the mechanics acting on player input and "cooperating"

with other mechanics.


Aesthetics are the emotional responses evoked in the player -

joy, frustration, fantasy, fellowship.


Gamification Model Canvas


If it is fun, it engages


As in video games


Or beer


You need to design unique user experiences


Something to remember… and for that you need

storytelling


Choose your theme!


Dynamics Components Mechanics

+general +specific

ex: progression ex: points and leaderboards ex: for each task you get 30 points and for each 250 points you

level up
