Ein (fiktives) Interview zur Proteinsynthese des Spiels mit dem Spieleforscher Thomas Voit und Sky Team

Abstract

The interview with Professor Thomas Voit, a researcher at EMPAMOS, and the game Sky Team as fictional part­ner explores the interplay between game research, gami­fication, and motivational psychology. Voit discusses the mechanisms of motivation in games and their potential applications in non-gaming contexts, such as education and organizational processes. Sky Team exemplifies the fusion of simulation and cooperative gameplay, empha­sizing elements like restricted communication, time lim­its, and immediate feedback to foster engagement and team dynamics. The dialogue delves into the deconstruc­tion of games into modular elements and the creation of a Game Design Toolbox, enabling the transfer of motiva­tional patterns to real-world challenges. This interdiscipli­nary approach sheds light on how games can enhance autonomy, competence, and social connectedness, offer­ing innovative solutions for learning environments and cul­tural institutions.
