Abstract

Pattern languages have gained widespread acceptance over the years in the design and computing communities. Thanks to the seminal work of Bjork and Holopainen they also have spread to the video game design community. In order to help game designers grasp fundamental aspects of human experiences, the author is developing a new breed of pattern language: a pattern language for experience design, and in particular, a pattern language for optimal experiences (or flow) in games.
