Böcker av Steve Swink

"Feel" is the essence of human-computer interaction. It is the single most important (yet often overlooked) element in games that makes the game art form unique. No other traditional art form like film, literature, music encompasses interactivity, as games do. This book bring "feel" to the forefront and gives it a proper voice.

Feel and sensation are similar building blocks where game design is concerned. They create the meta-sensation of involvement with a game. This book exposes 'feel' as a hidden language in game design. It covers topics like role of sound, ancillary indicators, importance of metaphor, how people perceive things, and a brief history of feel in games.
