Интересная статья про игры с лимитированным ("sporadic") игровым процессом, например про игры в социальных сетях.
WHAT IS SPORADIC PLAY GOOD FOR?
Respecting player’s time. (WoW screenshot… two guys who have played for 3 weeks… one an hour a day, and one 20 hours a day… “I HATE this latter guy”). But in sporadic play, even if you have 20 minutes a day you feel competitive. Also, it isn’t about player position, but about velocity - how well are you using your time every day, how efficiently you are using your time.
We did some analytics, showing players the other players using the same plane they had, comparing yourself that way, on efficiency.
Managing obsession. Everyone loves cake, but it can be too awesome. Players often play to the point of oversaturation… they get exhausted, who burn out beause the game allows them to play as much as they want. They play until they are sick of it. Remember the old showbiz rule: always leave them wanting more.
