influence in mobile game engagement, focusing on how peer behavior, social norms, and social comparison processes shape player motivations and in-game actions. By drawing on social psychology and network theory, the paper investigates how players' social circles, including friends, family, and online communities, influence their gaming habits, preferences, and spending behavior. The research explores how mobile games leverage social influence through features such as social media integration, leaderboards, and team-based gameplay. The study also examines the ethical implications of using social influence techniques in game design, particularly regarding manipulation, peer pressure, and the potential for social exclusion.</p> <a href="https://blog-222728964025.mit-edu.top/post/1987435602" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/11.jpg" alt="Energy-Efficient Algorithms for Game Servers in Smart City Environments" title="Energy-Efficient Algorithms for Game Servers in Smart City Environments" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Gary Rivera</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://blog-222728964025.mit-edu.top/post/5846230197"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/11.jpg" alt="Bayesian Inference in Reinforcement Learning for Robust Strategy Adaptation" title="Bayesian Inference in Reinforcement Learning for Robust Strategy Adaptation" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-5846230197.mit-edu.top/post/5846230197/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-222728964025.mit-edu.top/post/5846230197">Bayesian Inference in Reinforcement Learning for Robust Strategy Adaptation</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper offers a post-structuralist analysis of narrative structures in mobile games, emphasizing how game narratives contribute to the construction of player identity and agency. It explores the intersection of game mechanics, storytelling, and player interaction, considering how mobile games as “digital texts” challenge traditional notions of authorship and narrative control. Drawing upon the works of theorists like Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes, the paper examines the decentralized nature of mobile game narratives and how they allow players to engage in a performative process of meaning-making, identity construction, and subversion of preordained narrative trajectories.</p> <a href="https://blog-222728964025.mit-edu.top/post/5846230197" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/18.jpg" alt="Bayesian Inference in Reinforcement Learning for Robust Strategy Adaptation" title="Bayesian Inference in Reinforcement Learning for Robust Strategy Adaptation" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Daniel Hall</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://blog-222728964025.mit-edu.top/post/7246901385"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/14.jpg" alt="Real-Time Synchronization in Cross-Platform Multiplayer Mobile Games" title="Real-Time Synchronization in Cross-Platform Multiplayer Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-7246901385.mit-edu.top/post/7246901385/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-222728964025.mit-edu.top/post/7246901385">Real-Time Synchronization in Cross-Platform Multiplayer Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper applies Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) to the design and analysis of mobile games, focusing on how game mechanics, narrative structures, and visual stimuli impact players' cognitive load during gameplay. The study investigates how high levels of cognitive load can hinder learning outcomes and gameplay performance, especially in complex puzzle or strategy games.
