This textbook provides an introduction to the fundamentals of serious games, which differ considerably from computer games that are meant for pure entertainment. Undergraduate and graduate students from various disciplines who want to learn about serious games are one target group of this book. Prospective developers of serious games are another, as they can use the book for self-study in order to learn about the distinctive features of serious game design and development. And ultimately, the book also addresses prospective users of serious game technologies by providing them with a solid basis for judging the advantages and limitations of serious games in different application areas such as game-based learning, training and simulation or games for health. To cater to this heterogeneous readership and wide range of interests, every effort was made to make the book flexible to use. All readers are expected to study Chapter 1, as it provides the necessary basics and terminology that will be used in all subsequent chapters. The eleven chapters that follow cover the creation of serious games (design, authoring processes and tools, content production), the runtime context of serious games (game engines, adaptation mechanisms, game balancing, game mastering, multi-player serious games), the effects of serious games and their evaluation (player experience, assessment techniques, performance indicators), and serious games in practice (economic aspects, cost-benefit analysis, serious game distribution). To familiarize the readers with best practice in this field, the final chapter presents more than 30 selected examples of serious games illustrating their characteristics and showcasing their practical use. Lecturers can select chapters in a sequence that is most suitable for their specific course or seminar. The book includes specific suggestions for courses such as “Introduction to Serious Games”, “Entertainment Technology”, “Serious Game Design”, “Game-based Learning”, and “Applications of Serious Games”.

How to create a simulation where participants have a sense of freedom and personal control while still maintaining the structure necessary for an effective story is a difficult task indeed. This book examines how to create an engaging, effective story (necessary to teach participants), while relating practical considerations of building a simulation. It also looks at stories as classic ways of teaching and gathering knowledge and considers other theories of interactive narrative design such as synthetic story creation and management and participant-generated story experiences. It also discusses enabling technologies in artificial intelligence, synthetic characters design and development, speech recognition technology, 3D modelling, and the future of story-driven games. Story Driven Simulations reviews the existing efforts in this field as well as focusing on the recent efforts of Paramount Pictures and The Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California, where this expert author team created successful simulations for the U.S. Army, Department of Defense, as well as other educational simulations.

Why should organizations learn more about business simulations and serious games?The answer is simple: they are engaging, applicable, contemporary, exciting, and best of all, they change behavior faster and more naturally. Simulations are not as complex to implement as they were even a few years ago. Creating a custom solution is not only far more effective but also now within reach of most companies. Shift: Using Business Simulations and Serious Games walks you through the process of deciding whether or not to use a business simulation or serious game, how to build them or find an experienced provider, how to implement them, and how to create a sustainable program. Author Hugh Hunter, an award-winning Apple executive, writes with both humor and wisdom to distill years of experience in technology, gaming, and education into an easy-to-read guide for busy executives and managers. Simulations are a fun yet serious, challenging, and practical way to develop employees. Outcomes can include strategic alignment, strategic change, business acumen, leadership development, succession planning, and collaboration. You can change up a person's work environment and enable them to practice professional skills in real time with real people and actual scenarios. Shift: Using Business Simulations and Serious Games also answers questions like: How do you know if you need a business simulation or serious game? What are some uses for business simulations and serious games? Can I use simulations to improve the performance of top executives? Should I find a developer or design one in house? What's a good budget for something like this? Even if you are already using business simulations and serious games, this guide will help you be more effective and save money.Author Hugh Hunter assisted Steve Jobs prepare keynote presentations, and he delivers this topic with brevity, impact and charm. This is an easy to read, easy to digest, and easy to use introduction to business simulations and serious games. Editorial Reviews for Shift: Using Business Simulations and Serious Games "Hugh Hunter takes you on a practical journey on how business simulations and serious games can serve as a useful tool for today's learners. He is refreshingly candid and provides relevant questions and suggestions to aid the customer in deciding what the best learning solutions are for their organizations, and how best to implement them."- Dawn Moore, Commercial Learning Manager-Leadership Learning, AstraZeneca Biopharmaceutical "Bridging gaming and business is a terrifically exciting prospect, with untold potential for businesses and a multitude of untapped success stories - and starts with this book!" -- Carl Olivier, Principle PM Manager, Microsoft, Skype Division "This book provides keen insights and practical strategies for anyone looking to upgrade the quality of their training programs.
