Educational Games and Gamification

Computer games are criticised sometimes as lacking in narrative. In this paper we introduce a model of stories (Polti ratios) into which computer games (meeting particular criteria) can be abstracted. Using this model, we designed a process to analyse and explore computer game narrative. We give a highly detailed example of applying this process to a computer game treatment currently under production called Street Survivor.
