The Player Experience — University XP
The player experience is something that we all shoot for in game design.
That’s because the player experience is what the player goes through when
they play the game. That experience can be as simple as gamified mechanics
in gamification; a games-based learning class; a simulation; or a serious
game. The player experience dictates how our creation, our game, is
received by our users.
