In this GDC 2018\u00a0session, Spry Fox’s Daniel Cook explains how to keep human beings from being treated as interchangeable, disposable or abusable when designing multiplayer games.<\/p>\n
Cook provides\u00a0a simple design checklist based off well supported models of friendship formation, explaining how developers can\u00a0put it into practice to create games that build stronger player relationships and stronger communities.<\/p>\n
In addition to making the world a better place, Cook explains how these games will likely have a better retention and improved monetization because devs\u00a0are creating value for their\u00a0players that speaks to their deeply human psychological needs.<\/p>\n
