Sammanfattning
This thesis proposes a conceptual framework to aid game designers in designing
collaborative gameplay. Derived from an iterative process based on accumulated
insights from papers in game research, game designer conference talks, and studies
of collaboration in computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and computersupported
collaborative learning (CSCL), a compendium of 40 properties of collaborative
games was created, and their affordances were put in relation to a central
model of collaborative interaction between group members. The framework is a first
step in creating a coherent mental model which gathers the various and divergent
insights of the fields, and could serve both as a framework for a designer to work
from as well as identifying new design dimensions for further research.
