Abstract(s)
The experience in digital gaming is usually expressed in a very generic way. Therefore, in order to accurately collate the studies of gamer experience, this paper seeks to assess gaming experiences in both digital and non-digital environments through potential player personalities, how their gaming is structured, and what games meet the needs of certain personalities. Such research will not only be beneficial in terms of creating new games or interfaces, but it will also benefit a wider host of professionals such as psychologists and teachers who are constantly seeking ways to meet the needs of a very diverse audience. The methodology is qualitative and stems from the personalities proposed by Stuart Brown whilst being driven by Peirce’s semiotics, and observing games and players through their Interpretants Immediate, Dynamical and Final. In the likely continuation of this study, we intend to confirm these possibilities through interviews and known examples.
