*Experiences can be judged by their interest curves*

 

Interest Curves

 

 

A) Good curve

 

 

                         B  “ the hook “-> intro movie

  B) Bad Curve

 

 

  C) Fractal Curve

  

 

A)     Overall game : intro movie, fallowed by a series of levels of rising interest, ending with a major climax where the player defeats the game

B)    Each level : New aesthetics or challenges engage the player at the start, and then the player is confronted with a series of challenges ( battles, puzzles etc… ) that provide rising interest until the end of the level, which often ends with some kind of “ Boss battle”

C)    Each challenge : Every challenge the player encounters hopefully has a good interest curve in itself, with an interesting introduction, and stepped rising challenges as you work your way through it .
