mobile games, focusing on how avatar and character customization can influence player identity, self-expression, and engagement. The research examines how customizing characters, outfits, and other in-game features enables players to create personalized experiences that reflect their preferences and identities. Drawing on social identity theory and self-concept research, the paper investigates how customization fosters emotional attachment to the game, as well as its impact on player behavior, such as social interaction and competition. The study also explores the commercial implications of offering customizable in-game items, including microtransactions and virtual economies.</p> <a href="https://621075.mit-edu.top/post/4506371928" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/20.jpg" alt="Game as a Service (GaaS): Redefining Business Models in Mobile Gaming" title="Game as a Service (GaaS): Redefining Business Models in Mobile Gaming" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Rebecca Cook</strong> <span>2025-02-01 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://621075.mit-edu.top/post/1623485907"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/6.jpg" alt="The Role of Explainability in Reinforcement Learning Models for Game AI" title="The Role of Explainability in Reinforcement Learning Models for Game AI" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1623485907.mit-edu.top/post/1623485907/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://621075.mit-edu.top/post/1623485907">The Role of Explainability in Reinforcement Learning Models for Game AI</a></h2> <p class="info">Puzzles, as enigmatic as they are rewarding, challenge players' intellect and wit, their solutions often hidden in plain sight yet requiring a discerning eye and a strategic mind to unravel their secrets and claim the coveted rewards. Whether deciphering cryptic clues, manipulating intricate mechanisms, or solving complex riddles, the puzzle-solving aspect of gaming exercises the brain and encourages creative problem-solving skills. The satisfaction of finally cracking a difficult puzzle after careful analysis and experimentation is a testament to the mental agility and perseverance of gamers, rewarding them with a sense of accomplishment and progression.</p> <a href="https://621075.mit-edu.top/post/1623485907" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/6.jpg" alt="The Role of Explainability in Reinforcement Learning Models for Game AI" title="The Role of Explainability in Reinforcement Learning Models for Game AI" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Jason Morris</strong> <span>2025-02-01 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://621075.mit-edu.top/post/1638250479"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/19.jpg" alt="Gamers’ Micro-Motivation Shifts: Real-Time Personalization Using Reinforcement Learning" title="Gamers’ Micro-Motivation Shifts: Real-Time Personalization Using Reinforcement Learning" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1638250479.mit-edu.top/post/1638250479/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://621075.mit-edu.top/post/1638250479">Gamers’ Micro-Motivation Shifts: Real-Time Personalization Using Reinforcement Learning</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper presents a sociocultural analysis of the representation of gender, race, and identity in mobile games. It explores how mobile games construct social identities through character design, narrative framing, and player interaction. The research examines the ways in which game developers can either reinforce or challenge societal stereotypes and cultural norms, with a particular focus on gender dynamics in both player avatars and character roles. Drawing on critical theories of representation, postcolonial studies, and feminist media studies, the study explores the implications of these representations for player self-perception and broader societal trends related to gender equality and diversity.</p> <a href="https://621075.mit-edu.top/post/1638250479" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/9.jpg" alt="Gamers’ Micro-Motivation Shifts: Real-Time Personalization Using Reinforcement Learning" title="Gamers’ Micro-Motivation Shifts: Real-Time Personalization Using Reinforcement Learning" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Nancy Lewis</strong> <span>2025-02-01 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="py-5 bg-light mx-md-3 sec-subscribe"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <h2 class="h4 fw-bold">Subscribe to newsletter</h2> </div> </div> <form class="row"> <div class="col-md-8"> <div class="mb-3 mb-md-0"> <input type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter your email"> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-4 d-grid"> <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Subscribe"> </div> </form> </div> </div> <div class="site-footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-center copyright"> <div class="col-lg-7 text-center"> <div class="widget"> <p>Copyright © <script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear());</script> All rights reserved. </p> <p> < Top VPS Hosting Choice ><br> <a href="https://evolution-host.com?ref=DQgZ6P" target="_blank"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/evolution-host.png" alt="Evolution Host" title="Evolution Host" class="evhost lazyload"> </a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></body> </html>
