Comments on: Game Design and Elephant Handling Your post hits a lot of the same points I talk about here! I expected that most people that read AltDevBlogADay would understand the danger of relying solely on extrinsic rewards. So there's a little bit of preaching to the choir. But I wanted to talk about behavior reinforcement and making change part of the actual gameplay because I don't think a lot of game developers have thought of that route. I think we as in industry have to get more comfortable with subtlety however. Your post hits a lot of the same points I talk about here!
