player customization in 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://blog-993168812509.mit-edu.top/post/4358196207" 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="Explainable Machine Learning Models for Predicting Player Retention Patterns" title="Explainable Machine Learning Models for Predicting Player Retention Patterns" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Ryan Morgan</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-993168812509.mit-edu.top/post/2734569180"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/10.jpg" alt="Gesture-Based Controls for Mobile Games: A Usability Study" title="Gesture-Based Controls for Mobile Games: A Usability Study" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-2734569180.mit-edu.top/post/2734569180/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-993168812509.mit-edu.top/post/2734569180">Gesture-Based Controls for Mobile Games: A Usability Study</a></h2> <p class="info">This study examines the impact of cognitive load on player performance and enjoyment in mobile games, particularly those with complex gameplay mechanics. The research investigates how different levels of complexity, such as multitasking, resource management, and strategic decision-making, influence players' cognitive processes and emotional responses. Drawing on cognitive load theory and flow theory, the paper explores how game designers can optimize the balance between challenge and skill to enhance player engagement and enjoyment. The study also evaluates how players' cognitive load varies with game genre, such as puzzle games, action games, and role-playing games, providing recommendations for designing games that promote optimal cognitive engagement.</p> <a href="https://blog-993168812509.mit-edu.top/post/2734569180" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/7.jpg" alt="Gesture-Based Controls for Mobile Games: A Usability Study" title="Gesture-Based Controls for Mobile Games: A Usability Study" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Joyce Stevens</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-993168812509.mit-edu.top/post/7384069215"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/12.jpg" alt="Serious Games as Tools for Improving Spatial Reasoning in K-12 Education" title="Serious Games as Tools for Improving Spatial Reasoning in K-12 Education" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-7384069215.mit-edu.top/post/7384069215/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-993168812509.mit-edu.top/post/7384069215">Serious Games as Tools for Improving Spatial Reasoning in K-12 Education</a></h2> <p class="info">This research applies behavioral economics theories to the analysis of in-game purchasing behavior in mobile games, exploring how psychological factors such as loss aversion, framing effects, and the endowment effect influence players' spending decisions. The study investigates the role of game design in encouraging or discouraging spending behavior, particularly within free-to-play models that rely on microtransactions. The paper examines how developers use pricing strategies, scarcity mechanisms, and rewards to motivate players to make purchases, and how these strategies impact player satisfaction, long-term retention, and overall game profitability.
