Abstract

User satisfaction in computer games seems to be influenced by game balance, the level of challenge faced by the user. This work presents an evaluation, performed by human players, of dynamic game balancing approaches. The results indicate that adaptive approaches are more effective. This paper also enumerates some issues encountered in evaluating users' satisfaction, in the context of games, and depicts some learned lessons.

Dynamic game difficulty balancing for backgammon
ACMSE '11: Proceedings of the 49th annual ACM Southeast Conference

For video games, matching the game difficulty to the skill level of the player is important for the entertainment, enjoyment and growth of the player. For computer "board games", varying the difficulty has traditionally been left up to the player by ...
Dynamic Game Balancing by Recognizing Affect
Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Fun and Games

Dynamic game balancing concerns changing parameters in a game to avoid undesired player emotions, such as boredom and frustration. This is e.g. done by adjusting the game's difficulty level to the (increasing) skill level of the player during the game. ...
How Game Balancing Affects Play: Player Adaptation in an Exergame for Children with Cerebral Palsy
DIS '17: Proceedings of the 2017 Conference on Designing Interactive Systems

Player balancing helps people with different levels of physical ability and experience play together by providing customized assistance. Player balancing is particularly important in exergames, where differences in physical ability can have a large ...
