Introduction   Game companies have always focused considerable effort on interpreting players' feelings and thoughts regarding their games. Current solutions mostly consist of quantifiable market research methods such as surveys, in-depth interviews, or focus groups. While these methods may extract information about player opinion and satisfaction after playing the game, there are hardly any instinctive tools which allow immediate measurement of player responses during game play. Perhaps psychophysiology, which has been applied in other industries for some years, will provide a suitable method to aid us in correctly interpreting player responses so that we may improve the user experience.

If I could shoot a commercial for this brand, I would shoot it this way..." And then he will ask you in a very serious manner if you think his script is incredible too. These commercial ideas that your friends love so much are often humorous and very "creative". However, "there should be a standard for how good an idea is, and not just an subjective opinion". I personally feel that the key to a good

One gloomy morning, a group of mysterious black-clothed people swarmed in and brought about 2 minutes of uber-merry dance, leaving passers-by baffled.

I don't remember who was it that told me it was best to sell water, if I had to sell anything at all. Why is this? A simple arithmetic equation will show that once you subtract the cost from the price at which bottled water is sold, you end up with a stunning amount of profit. However, everyone wants in on a good deal, which is why there is always a variety of mineral water brands on the shelves of any supermarket or convenience store. But when it comes to which bottle you purchase in the end, the deciding

When one is explaining a thought or an idea, sometimes you can encounter a bottleneck where it seems very difficult to explain the core concept behind the idea. Why does its execution have to be carried out this way? Why will it succeed? Why? Why...? This is why I look up to creative directors who know how to present proposals. They have to be as funny and entertaining as Stephen Chow, look as sincere as Tony Leung, and have the ability to convince them of anything. The most important thing is to be able to explain one's thoughts clearly

Everyone in the Gamania Group should have received their own ID badge now.  The new ID badge not only has a more minimalist look but also improves the feel of quality in the texture and design as well.

For the Gamania Group, the change is far more meaningful than that.     Management Requirements   Gamania's rapid growth in recent years has seen the Group grow in size as well.
