GameGame at Bergen
I’ll be giving a GameGame workshop at the University of Bergen, Norway, this friday. I was there a year ago with the same agenda, and it was a success, so I am looking forward to repeat it. Thanks for the invitation go again to Rune Klevjer, who is not only a fresh Doctor but a Dad. Kudos!
It is also always nice to return to Bergen, because all this game studies stuff really started for me there, at the Digital Arts & Culture conference back in 1998. It’s almost ten years, phew.
Meanwhile, I’m working on a sample of games by analysing the cognitive and psychomotor abilities they necessitate from players as ‘uncertainty factors’ in relation to game mechanics and goals. The idea is that with such a method one can identify which abilities are non-trivial for a player experience of a particular game - and from this, one could proceed to designing games deliberately for particular sets of abilities. I feel this case study will help in making the point of Chapter 7 much more lucid.
