“…This measurement toolbox has been applied within a range of different studies (Roth et al, 2010;Roth and Vermeulen, 2013;Roth et al, 2012b) and proved to be useful for the evaluation of interactive digital narrative (IDN) user experiences. For example, a prototype-based user study compared a turn-based dialogue design to a real-time approach (Endrass, Klimmt, Mehlmann, André, and Roth, 2011).…”

“…In our approach towards the verification of design conventions, we apply experimental designs and methods from psychological research. The design of our ex-perimental setup is based on earlier experience with IDN user experience evaluation (Roth and Vermeulen, 2013), with prototype-based user studies (Endrass et al, 2011) and with the A/B comparison approach (Roth et al, 2012b).…”

“…The design of our experimental setup is based on earlier experience with IDN user experience evaluation (Roth and Vermeulen, 2013), for example, with prototype-based user studies comparing two design alternatives (Endrass et al, 2011;Roth et al, 2012b). Therefore, we create prototype pairs -one applying a specific design strategy and another omitting it.…”

“…We describe a method to verify narrative design conventions using empirical methods. Instead of the trial-and-error process of old, our method evaluates user reaction to A/B prototypes using an established toolkit measuring immersion, agency and transformation through a granular set of 13 psychological dimensions (Roth and Koenitz, 2016;Roth and Vermeulen, 2013;Roth, Klimmt, Vermeulen, and Vorderer, 2011;Roth, Vorderer, Klimmt, and Vermeulen, 2010).…”

In recent years, game narrative has emerged as an area for novel game concepts and as a strategy to distinguish a particular title. However, innovation in this area comes primarily from indie companies and individual efforts by noted designers. There is a lack of trained specialists ready to produce interactive narrative experiences. Many existing practitioners are self-trained and often rely on intuition in their design practice. A key element missing from the effort towards a more sustained development and improved professional training is a set of design conventions that fulfill a role comparable to cinematic conventions like continuity editing or montage. Therefore, our research focuses on identifying, verifying and collecting such design strategies. We describe an empirical method to verify candidate design conventions through the evaluation of user reaction to A/B prototypes, which improves upon the trial-and-error process of old.
