Game Fun

Week 7 was about "game fun" Game Fun is a nice way of saying "Learning". The aim of Game fun is to out the player in a Flow state ... known as fun.
My reading was "Level 7: Kinds of Fun". Different kinds of fun and how they're thought about in video game development in order to make a game fun.
In order to make a game fun, it would be wise in development to incorporate the following:
Sensation - A game that takes into thought the potential visual and audible side. an example of this would be the game ABZU.
Fantasy - Games are a great medium for make - belief games. These can be more interesting to than the real world alternative. E.G. Skyrim
Narrative - A game can have an interesting story that makes the game fun if it is done right. E.G. Red Dead Redemption, John Marston, the protagonist's goal is to return to his wife and son and meets amazing characters along the way.
Challenge - A challenging game can be fun, if the user is returning to beat a high score or returning to a particular boss fight after leveling up the character to finally have a better chance at succeeding in the boss
Discovery - Games such as "No man's Sky" The Game fun in this game is literally exploration around an endless galaxy where the attraction is that the universe is never ending. Finding anything and potentially discovering an amazing creature or planet is the fun of the game.
Expression - Being able to be your own in a game and express yourself in different ways can enable the user to have fun.
Submission - Using the game as a hobby will be more fun than using the game as a one - time event.
Despite the list of different kinds of fun, this list isn't a guarantee that a player will find fun in your game. Different people enjoy different things, combinations that appear fun may not be fun to the player. Finding ideal combinations that work together and compliment each other is easy .... in theory. Finding abstract combinations that work together is difficult but the pay off may be worth the thought.
