MIT CMS.608 Game Design, Fall 2010 Instructors: Philip B. Tan, Jason Begy View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/cms-608-game-design-fall-2010/ YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61_JVg12Ukxft03EJ7xxdbR Today's reading analyzes user motivation along two axes: interest in the world vs. fellow players, gaining knowledge vs. proficiency. Students discuss the utility of this taxonomy, how games encourage these interactions, and come up with their own frames.
