I'm not a common commenter, but during writing my marketing project work, I found this definition 'gamification' regarding improving your business, and besides the very clear explanation in the video, the whole concept just blew my mind because I was also addicted gamer a few years ago just like my generation Y and I just realized all of this addictiveness can be implemented to the business. I'm so happy to find out about this amazing concept.
Hi Varga, we're so happy our content was enlightening! Our latest video is a cool piece on what video games do to your brain, which could prove interesting as well! Thanks for the nice comment.
Some of my notes/thoughts. Don't rely on extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is enjoyment in the activity itself. Rather than focus on rewards, make the games intrinsically motivating. Researchers find that gamers feel most rewarded when these three psychological needs are present or accounted for: autonomy, competence, relatedness. 1 Goals, 2 rules, 3 challenge/conflict, and 4 feedback.Think about how different players like to play different games. Design your game to the type of gamer you have in mind. Get to know the audience.
I think the key point why video games are so addictive is that they give you immediate feedback. Most things in life that yield great result have an extremely long feedback loop (think investment, RnD and so on) which makes gamification hard. I wonder how to (at least virtually) decrease the length of the feedback loop? Making goals smaller doesn't really work for long term projects, feedback oftentimes is also negative (e.g. when doing software engineering).
I think making goals smaller can work if we don't treat them as something that needs to be, like something very triumphant, but that can indeed change between fields, although I believe that even in IT if we try we can increase the number of goals if we try I think what could work would be an achievement/event system that could have some milestones or mini challenges. Stuff like "You've written 50/100/150... lines of code!", " You've fixed 1,3,5... bug(s)!", "You've managed to focus on writing code for X commutative minutes!" and so on. You could also have such achievements for a specific project and all of them at once too, as in, for example, if you finish working on the project, you can restart those milestones you've gotten like work for x amount of minutes on x, but you can have achievements that track the cumulative time of working on x types of projects. This would help you track your actions if that's your thing too. I just thought of it so it might have some aspects that should be fixed, but I think it's an decent idea, especially if you were to use it with like leveling systems
Your presentation is great, very clean and well spoken. Informed with an unassuming nature. Might I suggest getting a bit more in the way of attention retention artwork and camera work? It would help people with adhd to maintain focus on this great content.
4:35 - wdym by "conflict" exactly? challenge to achieve goals is not directly zero sum, leading to "conflict", because achieving an objective most often does not limit other players from achieving it too. - so is conflict essential or additional to this?
I want to do a PhD in gamification in learning among Knowledge Industry. Can you please help me, tell me on which areas or variables should I look into
It's funny how often people make pronouncements about things that we just don't know much about. Human motivation is a pretty murky subject. Clearly, the anxious energy produced by attempting a high-stakes challenge of meaningful difficulty is one of the big motivators to play games, and the relief that comes with success or evasion of failure -- I suspect these are the primary attractors of most people who would call themselves "gamers."
This is a terrible video. This is not what the title suggests. Instead the title should be the underlying philosophy behind gamification techniques. These are not actually gamification techniques. It's a monologue worse than being an a lecture. It has nothing to do with anything that's actionable. Which is what the title suggests.
@@lilianamarti4317 Pretty sure they can. And many do. Every man on pretty much every TV show you've ever seen wears Make-up. Every man who performs on stage wears make-up. Many men wear make-up every day to heighten their appearance, just like women do. Make-up is for everybody.
Informative as usual, thanks guys
Thanks to watching the last couple of episodes Josh
He looks like a character from the Sims
We LOVE The Sims!
After watching many videos this was the one that actually got me on board. Good on ya

Gamification in a nutshell:
* Clear goals
* Clear roadmap
* Clear progress measurement
* Clear feedback
* Clear balance between challenge and skill
*Life in a nutshell :P
Hi Zac! Nice to see your video here :) Great work.
Thanks 😊
Incredibly informative, thank you!
Thank you!
I love that he matched the shade of his lips to his glasses. Power move.
Although Dr Zac isn't wearing any makeup in this video, his sheer gamification knowledge is a power move on its own
Used Do It Now RPG to gamify my life! Thanks for the tips!
Fantastic! thanks mr/mrs cloud !

This is gold!
Very informative and helpful video. Thanks for sharing
You're so welcome!

Why does he look like he is a computer model rendered with a ray tracer?
Is he? :)
Yeah
Hes our A.I system
It's called makeup
very cool, thanks for sharing information
Thanks for watching!
Thanks! I know what to do now!
No problem! thanks Ice D
Anyone have resources they would recommend for RPG-style gamification plugins for an educational forum?
Your presentation is great, very clean and well spoken. Informed with an unassuming nature. Might I suggest getting a bit more in the way of attention retention artwork and camera work? It would help people with adhd to maintain focus on this great content.
Yes yes yes
Very informative. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you please share the research papers supporting your statements?
4:35 - wdym by "conflict" exactly?
challenge to achieve goals is not directly zero sum, leading to "conflict", because achieving an objective most often does not limit other players from achieving it too. - so is conflict essential or additional to this?
Ooowsome,,amazing,,i want that
السلام على ال الصدر
Thanks 👌🏻
No problem 👍
I want to do a PhD in gamification in learning among Knowledge Industry.
Can you please help me, tell me on which areas or variables should I look into
Email us at info@gamify.com and we'll point you in the right direction!
What's Dr. Zac's top 4 skincare routine techniques tho? pls share
water, workout, work & wear great cloths
Australian Sheldon Cooper
haha yes! Dr Zac's about as smart as well
nice
Thanks
how did you do this . It seems amazing.
check out gamify.com for more :) thanks Huseyin
good
Thanks
how could i create a gamified case studies for students with a very simple tool?
check out www.gamify.com/gamification-blog/top-5-examples-of-gamified-education for video / blog on tools for students :)
That lipstick and that glasses reminds me to my art history teacher
The real secret is that Dr Zac isn't wearing any lipstick in this video. Hope your history teacher was as cool as him though!
4:52 Makes one wonder why some people even cheat to begin with.
How can this be applied to our real life??? Making life game like?
Here is a robot. The other robot I know is Mark Zuckerberg
We can assure you that Dr Zac is not a robot, but he is definitely as smart as one - maybe more!
wow he looks like a vampire
Badges?We dont need no stinking badges :)

barely a bunch of vague principles, no techniques unfortunately.

Don't make up, you are a man!
We can confirm Dr Zac isn't wearing any make up in the video - he just has amazing skin!
@@GamifyChannel wow! súper!! :)
@@lilianamarti4317 Even if he was wearing makeup, so what? Men can wear makeup.
@@lucbrien9237 jajaja no, they can't.
