Description
A game "experience" is built upon the memory of the emotions the player experimented. In order to optimize the emotional relevance of every moment the player is interacting with the game product, an Emotional Script ought to be thoughtfully designed.
Sound explorations hold great potential in the design of the Emotional Script.
In addition to the comprehensive exploration this pattern suggests, we address some other design patters which may also contribute to pieces of the Emotional Script.
