S1 E6: Intrinsic Motivation in Game Design


Listen Later

After a short break, we're back at the Midnight Lantern and take a look at the motivation behind designing value in video games (12:15). Based on Game Maker Toolkit's video about the psychology of rewards, we discuss intrinsic vs extrinsic rewards in various games including Super Mario Odyssey, MMORPGs, and Old School Runescape. We also talk about the potential and need for companies like DreamHaven (25:00) and our observations on approaching video games (40:37).
