THE WATCHTOWER INITIATIVE (2014)

'The Watchtower Initiative' is the product of the thesis I did to complete my Candidate of Science in Medialogy, with a specialization in Games. The purpose of the project was to investigate, document and research gamers reactions from disadvantageous outcomes, in connection with game actions that relied on probability. The work involved creating a game from scratch that would enable me to test peoples reactions on different scenarios of probability. The thesis produced a set of broad guidelines as to how players are affected by probability outcomes in games, and how to capitalize on the emotions and responses of the outcomes, while avoiding negative impact on the game experience. (DK) ’The Watchtower Initiative’ er produktet af mit speciale projekt ved Medialogi studiet på Aalborg Universitet. Projektet havde til formål at undersøge spilleres reaktioner på ufordelagtige udfald i forbindelse med spil handlinger der har en sandsynliged for at fejle. Der blev arbejdet med forskellige representationer af sandsynlighed for brugeren, samt forskellige formidlinger af selve udfaldet af handlingen. Projektet udmyndede i nogle guidelines til hvordan man kan mindske den skuffelse spilleren har når han får de mindre uheldige udfald.

Vortex (2012)

Vortex was made during a Game Jam, called Indie9000, where it won the award for best game. The game was based on co-op between two players, using a kinect. Each player has a specific role of either jumping through obstacles, or helping the other jump through obstacles by controlling the rotation of said obstacle. It's a bit hard to explain, but you can see a short promo video here. (DK) 'Vortex' er lavet ved et 36 timers Game Jam, Indie9000, hvor det vandt prisen for bedste spil. Spillet har en co-op feature hvor hver spiller skiftes mellem at styre en forhindrings rotation, mens ens medspiller skal hoppe, dukke sig eller lignende for at undgå at blive ramt af forhindringen.
