On Serious Games Sharing Serious Games quality projects
Gamification World Congress left us with a lot to think about. We have gathered here the most interesting ideas that are shaping how Gamification will grow and hopefully change how we study, work and live our everyday lives. Be inspired by the best GWC speakers!
- Adding points, badges and leaderboards is not enough to create a successful gamified tool – @yukaichou
- If you think about Gamification as a magical tool that will boost your profits and users’ engagement, you will be dissapointed – @melindajacobs
- Just playing games doesn’t qualify you to be a game designer – #GWC15
- If you are not enjoying it, your audience and clients won’t enjoy it either #GWC15
- What do we enjoy about games that we should apply to Gamification? S.A.P.S.! Status, Access, Power and Stuff – @eMee_Insights
- Companies cannot just release a Gamification platform without a goal, a thoughtful design, a solid structure and a narrative. Nail these three and you will be able to achieve anything you plan for your company – @melindajacobs
- When gamifying ask yourself: Are your programs adding flab or muscle? – @eMee_Insights
- Active learning is more effective than lecturing @greenhatpeople
- No matter the reward system, the best games are fun to play even without it @Gamifier1
- 80% of current Gamified applications will fail due to poor design! @mich8elwu
- We, as Gamification professionals, are underselling ourselves treating our work like something unpredictable. It is predictable and can be designed with data and results, so start thinking about yourselves as Behavioral Engineers @gzicherm
- Just 3 minutes of an embodied experience could produce a behavioral result @Jakob_Gleechi
- True loyalty is like true love. It’s irrational, hard to find & needs constant effort – @daverage
- The current problem when gamifying in a company is that the decision-makers are dinosaurs that have never played games @MichielvanEunen
- Women pay 87% more than men. So keep an eye on the girls when Gamifying! – @AnCoppens
How Gender affects Gamification? – An Coppens
16. Sometimes Gamification is not the solution – @melindajacobs
17. Conversation is the “New Black”. Use it in your Gamification projects! – @b_crespo
18. Intrinsic Motivation is always better! – @sven_juergens
19. What Gamification needs is a flexible, reusable system for behavior design. If we treat Gamification as engineering, we will be able to replicate success, just like a bridge or a skyscraper – @gzicherm
20. Life is too short to waste on playing bad games – @yukaichou
