A Gameplay Definition throught Videogame Classification (Broacasting our studies)
This paper is part of an experimental approach aimed to raise a videogames classification. Being inspired by the methodology that Propp used for the classification of Russian fairy tales, we have identified recurrent diagrams within rules of videogames, that we called “Gameplay Bricks”. The combinations of these different bricks should allow us to represent a classification of all videogames in accordance with their rules. In this article, we will study the nature of these bricks, es [...]Keywords : gameplay, classification
Serious Game Classification (Our projects)
Spinoff created from Game Classification, this website aims to gather and classify as many Serious Games as possible. Therefore, it relies on a classification model designed for Serious Games, the G/P/S model (Gameplay / Purpose / Scope). http://serious.gameclassification.com/ Publications related to this project Damien Djaouti, Julian Alvarez, Jean-Pierre Jessel, Olivier Rampnoux "Origins of Serious Games" Minhua Ma, Andrea Oikonomou, Lakhmi C.

Classification des serious games (Broacasting our studies)
This article proposes to focus on the various types of Serious Games. Inspired by the video games, we find a great diversity of applications. We propose a classification within Serious Game while differentiating them from simulations for the moment. The question of the link between the initial intention of the game designer and the part played by the implementation of objectives gives us an Ariadne’s thread to be unrolled. The posture adopted by the player particularly in simulations const [...]Keywords : serious games, classification
Morphologie des jeux vidéo (Broacasting our studies)
This paper is part of an experimental approach aimed to raise a classification suited to videogames. According to the methodology that Propp used for its classification of the Russian tales, we have found recurring diagrams within the rules of videogames. We named these recurrent rules "GamePlay bricks", as the combination of those bricks seems to be an interesting way to classify video games. In this article, we will study the nature of “GamePlay bricks”, especially the li [...]Keywords : classification, gameplay, video games, rules, bricks
The nature of Gameplay: a videogame classification (Broacasting our studies)
This paper is part of an experimental approach aimed to raise a videogames classification. Being inspired by the methodology that Propp(3) used for the classification of Russian fairy tales, we have cleared out recurrent diagrams within rules of videogames, named "Game Bricks". The combinations of these different bricks will allow us to represent a classification, in accordance to their rules, of all the videogames. In this article we will study the real nature of these bricks, [...]Keywords : classification, gameplay, Videogames, game, play, rules

Serious Game: just a question of posture? (Broacasting our studies)
This article explains the difference between a large variety of Serious Games and tries to propose a classification to understand this type of video games. We explore the connection between the goal of the game designer, the objective of the game and the posture of the player. Finally, we explore how we can create some serious game to make corporate communication or educative program.Keywords : serious game

Morphological study of the video games (Broacasting our studies)
The aim of this article is first to present V.E.Ga.S., a tool which intend to classify video games, study their nature and to corroborate hypothesis by a pragmatic approach. It consists in studying a significant number of video games in order to index their composition of elementary “game bricks”. Basing our study on this bricks and crossing them, we try to classify and study video games. In a second time, this paper presents the classification deduced from the results of V.E.Ga.S.Keywords : Classification, Bricks, Experimental Methods, Gameplay, Game design, Video Games, Morphology, Taxonomy
