HKU researcher Micah Hrehovcsik receives doctorate
|
Micah Hrehovcsik (HKU Innovation Studio) has received a doctorate for his thesis on an evaluation method for applied games. This method allows game designers to swiftly adjust their design during the production process, based on feedback from the target audience. During the creation of the game Moodbot for psychiatric patients, the method co-developed by Hrehovcsik led to a radical gameplay change from competitive to cooperative. This change better motivated the target audience to play.
