Human-focused Design

Gamemakers have spent decades learning how to master motivation and engagement.

They design user engagement processes which remember that people in the system have feelings, insecurities, and reasons why they want or do not want to do things, and therefore optimizes for their feelings, motivations, and engagement.

This is called Human-focused design.

Chemistry of Games

Chemistry of Games

It brings you all that pleasure and makes you want to do it again. This can be represented to what I call a dopamine cycle.

Function-focused Design

This design assumes that you are dealing with may be robots and whatever they are required to do, they will do because robots do not like or dislike it.

Gamification is making your users do what you want them to do in a way that they like doing it while ultimately getting what they wanted from the whole engagement and making you realize your business objectives.

Who is using it? Does it fit with-in

my industry? What is the

Future of Gamification

How to Gamify?

But before we get into ‘how’ we need to do a ‘what’ analysis.

‘What’ Analysis

What problem I am going to address?

What audience will participate?

What are the desired behaviors I want to drive from my audience?

What are the KPIs to monitor a positive change?

Let’s talk about ‘how’
