Races and Time Pressure • Finish First • Time constraint used to increase stress • http://youtu.be/3wAt7jgnGwI?t=23m22s
Factual Knowledge Challenges • Trivia and quiz games • It would be unfair for the player to come up with real world facts for other genre
Memory Challenges • Test the player’s ability to recall things that she has seen or heard in the game.
Pattern Recognition Challenges • Test the player’s ability to spot visible or audible patterns or change in pattern and behavior
Exploration Challenges • SPATIAL AWARENESS CHALLENGES • requires the player to navigate around an unfamiliar and complicated space. • http://youtu.be/CqsU5nWLguU?t=1m38s
Exploration Challenges • LOCKED DOORS • http://youtu.be/IX1N5d7-0SI?t=24m16s
Exploration Challenges • TRAPS
Exploration Challenges • MAZES • every place looks alike • ILLOGICAL SPACES • do not relate to each other in a way that the player might reasonably expect

Actions Unstructured play Actions for creation and self-expression Actions for socialization Actions to participate in the story Actions to control the game software
Unstructured play • Fun actions that don’t address challenges
Actions for creation and self-expression • Customization • There are some constraints • http://youtu.be/5a0gOK2zJiU?t=1m40s • http://youtu.be/j86he-H_wPA?t=1m
Actions for socialization • Communication with other players
Actions to participate in the story • Interactive Dialog • Interactive NPC
Actions to control the game software • Pause • Resume • Save • Level of difficulty • Volume control
Reasons for Saving a Game • Allowing the player to leave the game and return to it later. • Letting the player recover from disastrous mistakes. • Encouraging the player to explore alternate strategies.
Consequences for Immersion and Storytelling • outside the game world which harms the player’s immersion • the act of saving destroys the illusion • the moment you allow a player to repeat the past, you acknowledge the unreality of the game world • the arguments for saving outweigh these disadvantages
Ways of Saving a Game • PASSWORDS • SAVE TO A FILE OR SAVE SLOT • QUICK-SAVE • AUTOMATIC SAVE AND CHECKPOINTS • Least harmful to immersion
