Social Resonance

Ludic Experience social_relational · both

Social Resonance captures the experience that fellow players matter – as allies or as opponents. Players feel connectedness, rivalry, trust or betrayal.

Design question – Do you want fellow players to matter tangibly – and do players experience each other’s presence as enriching?

Reference example – Football: the midfielder glances up, her partner is already running – a look is enough, the pass arrives. The Mind: laying down numbers without speaking, and still the order is right. Werewolf: whom do I trust – and who is lying to my face right now?
