As social games represent a very new hybrid game genre, research on them is still few and far between. Therefore, the Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research convened a one-day academic workshop with selected researchers at the 2010 Games Convention Online in Leipzig, Germany to build a solid overview of the current state of the field, and to identify promising areas and methodological approaches of future research. The report firstly summarises the background, motivation and proceedings of the workshop to then elaborate emerging observations and themes, touching on the technology, economics, design and usage of social games, as well as the general discourse about social games and research opportunities. Together with the growing bibliography and research map on this site, the report presents the results of this workshop. Recommended Citation Deterding, S.

April 28th, 2011 by Tommaso De Benetti Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to define. Everyone knows what a game is, but agreeing on a definition is another story. Wikipedia’s no-nonsense entry defines a game as: “structured playing, usually undertaken for enjoyment…with goals, challenges, rules and interactions.” Jesse Schell is somewhat more fun, saying it is simply “a problem solving activity, approached with a playful attitude” .

Google tests game-mechanics strategies with Recyclebank | The Social
It looks like Google has taken an interest in a start-up called Recyclebank , which offers points and rewards for "green" actions like joining curbside recycling programs and installing eco-friendly appliances--it's using it as a test bed for a new beta version of its Google Analytics tracking tool . More specifically, along with a consumer research company called ROI Research, Google Analytics will be parsing the progress and results of Recyclebank's impending "Green Your Home Challenge," and then releasing a research paper about the whole process. The contest in question is taking place over the course of April for "Earth Month."
How the World's Biggest Brands Are Gamifying Our World - Walletpop Canada
Toronto native Gabe Zichermann is the world's most visible champion of a business philosophy called gamification. Basically, it's when the mechanics used in video games such as levels, rewards, points and friction are applied to non-game consumer environments in order to produce either, deeper engagement and brand loyalty, or to solve problems. He's written two books on the subject, Game-Based Marketing and the upcoming Gamification by Design (2011). He consults with major business heavyweights including Google, MTV and the New York Times on how they can increase the stickiness of their own brands through gamification. Zichermann also is the chair of the Gamification Summit and editor of the industry's leading publication, The Gamification Blog.

Par Hubert Guillaud le 16/02/11 | 6 commentaires | 3,936 lectures | Impression La gamification ( Wikipédia , que certains traduisent par “ludification”), c’est l’idée que les règles et techniques de jeux peuvent être transférées dans d’autres domaines, rappelle Nicolas Nova, l’un des organisateurs de la conférence Lift qui se tenait il y a peu à Genève. Ce qui n’est pas sans limites… ni critiques. La vérité sur la gamificationGame guru Jane McGonigal says “gamification” should make tasks hard, not easy
Gamification, or making a non-game application more engaging by making it game-like, should not make tasks easy for the people undertaking them. It should make them harder, says Jane McGonigal, game research director of the Institute for Future and author of a new book on gamification, “Reality is Broken: Why games make us better and how they can change the world” . McGonigal says Web site owners — including those of major corporations — should make tasks challenging, so that the sense of achievement upon completing them is greater. The assertion is related to McGonigal’s definition of a game, which she talked about at the Gamification Summit today in San Francisco. She said that “games are unnecessary obstacles that we volunteer to tackle.”

Lumière sur… Chrono Trigger ( クロノ・トリガー , Kurono・Torigā ? ) est un jeu vidéo de rôle , développé par Square Co.Glisser du challenge dans chaque interstice du quotidien ? C'est tout l'enjeu de la gamification, nouvelle expression à la mode et alléchante potentielle machine à cash. La gamification est un des gros buzz du moment. En janvier 2011 s’est tenu d’ailleurs le premier “ Gamification Summit “. Elle consiste essentiellement à se demander ce qui nous attire tant dans les jeux, puis d’en extraire les recettes fondamentales, afin de les appliquer hors du cadre ludique. Au coeur de ce processus se trouve l’idée que le gain de points, l’acquisition d’un statut, sont des moteurs d’amusement suffisants pour encourager les utilisateurs à recourir à un service.

ArtGame weekend is a creative and collaborative challenge that brings together developers, game designers, and artists to create mobile artgames. The first ArtGame weekend took place in Paris, France last month. By combining art plus gameplay plus open collaboration, nine ideas became nine artgames - and more than 40 artists, developers, and video game professionals an intense teamwork experience.Comment la dynamique du jeu gagne aujourd’hui le monde de la culture ? Tel était le sujet auquel les cinq participants de la conférence organisée par l’Atelier Français ont du répondre.
