How Games Move Us Av Katherine (professor University Of California Santa Cruz) Isbister

<b>An engaging examination of how video game design can create strong, positive emotional experiences for players—with examples from popular, indie, and art games.</b><br><br>This is a renaissance moment for video games—in the variety of genres they represent, and the range of emotional territory they cover. But how do games create emotion? In <i>How Games Move Us</i>, Katherine Isbister takes the reader on a timely and novel exploration of the design techniques that evoke strong emotions for players. She counters arguments that games are creating a generation of isolated, emotionally numb, antisocial loners. Games, Isbister shows us, can actually play a powerful role in creating empathy and other strong, positive emotional experiences; they reveal these qualities over time, through the act of playing. She offers a nuanced, systematic examination of exactly how games can influence emotion and social connection, with examples—drawn from popular, indie, and art games&md
