What Can We Learn From Fortnite for Gamification and Game-Based Solutions | Episode 176
Listen to this episode on your phone!
This is a different episode! No guest this time, I do an analysis of the game Fortnite and some potential applications outside of the entertainment industry (i.e. gamification and game-based solutions). We go through some of the strategies used by this game and think of them divided within the RAMP framework that Andrzej Marczewski talks about.
I pose a final challenge! Play one of the games you enjoy, and analyze it with this same vision, looking at the elements and mechanics and how they help engage, especially thinking of how you might use them on your settings. Let me know on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or email (by subscribing and responding), I’d love to know your experience on this and maybe even share it on a future episode!
