Amy Jo Kim over at Shufflebrain has crystallised the 5 Rules of Game Mechanics:
1. Collecting
2. Points
3. Feedback
4. Exchanges
5. Customization
…and applied these to social media plays in an excellent presentation. I agree with Susan Wu, this is a must read.
Amy Jo concludes with a prognosis for the future…expect to see more serious applications that feel like games and more games that teach real-world skills.
