An activity theory-based model for serious games analysis and conceptual design (2015, methodology): “…of gaming components incorporates terms described by previous works on game mechanics (Adams & Dormans, 2012; Djaouti et al., 2007; Koster, 2011; Schell, 2008; Zagal et al., 2005), in addition to the game mechanics identified in the LMeGM model (Arnab et al., 2015) and the game components of…”
Dark patterns in the design of games (2013, background): “When writing about game design, authors often stress the focal role of the player using terms like ‘player-centered’ or ‘play-centric’ (e.g. [4; 20; 45]).”
Serious games and the gamification of tourism (2017, background): “1) Relation involves interacting and connecting with other players (Schell, 2008; Deterding, 2011 ).”
Gamification for Engaging Computer Science Students in Learning Activities: A Case Study (2014, background): “Finally, the mechanics and dynamics of the game are designed to trigger emotions that players find pleasant or fun; this is called the aesthetics of the game [13].”
Development and validation of the player experience inventory: A scale to measure player experiences at the level of functional and psychosocial consequences (2020, background): “For example, this division can equally be found in Salen & Zimmerman’s framing of rules, play and culture [48], Schell’s book of lenses [49], Deterding’s argument for moving from game design elements to gamefulness [50], the MDA-framework [51], in the many heuristics [7, 8], design principles [52] o”
Gamification: a systematic review of design frameworks (2017, neutral): “Most of the analysed design principles and elements are present to some extent in the ﬁnal candidates, and can be seen as relevant issues in the game-design literature (Salen and Zimmerman 2003; Schell 2008).”
Gamification and Serious Games for Personalized Health (2012, background): “However, a game is not simply a collection of parts, it is an integrated system which requires these elements to be balanced and tuned [22].”
