Our fellow colleagues in Amsterdam are currently pitching a Casual Game company. And during the week end, I’ve been watching a very interesting video about social gaming. Funny coincidence 🙂
Therefore I wanted to share with you this video – Jesse Schell (Carnegie Mellon University Professor) about design in games. He focus a large part of his presentation about social gaming, with outstanding data on casual / social games (Farmville is just gigantic).
Social Media has probably a lot to learn from Social Gaming, with ideas and tactics from the gaming industry. Food for thought.
