Hello, my name is Michael Bas and I am first of all ceo of Ranj serious games, one of the oldest serious games companies in the Netherlands. But I am also part-time visiting professor for the Technical University Delft. In this function my goal is to bridge the gap between the commercial game development companies and researchers.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been working in the digital media and serious games industry for the biggest part of my life. Over time I discovered that developing good serious or applied games incorporates more than just good game design. One also needs a good understanding of the psychological drivers of human behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am involved in two of the Persuasive Game Design projects: CRISP G-Motiv and ClickNL Nextlevel. Together with the researchers and the subject matter experts we try to discover which specific game mechanics trigger certain behaviour. By no means an easy task.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the CRISP-G Motiv project we try to determine which game principles motivate people to cooperate in the work environment. In the ClickNL Nextlevel project we try to translate existing therapies into games.<\/span><\/p>\n

I consider my role in both these projects as something like a product owner (a term from the agile development method). I will guard the business perspective, the pre-set goals and the overall usability of the product-service.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
