Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Gamify.com has launched a Gamification Platform. The platform is essentially an online score keeping and reward system that lets you turn any online based activity into a game of sorts.
While interesting in its own right – I could turn commenting on Purple Pawn posts into a game, for instance – I can also envision its use by game companies to connect all of the people who buy their games into a mass social network; a kind of offline/online gaming cross-experience.
It’s a pity that “game mechanics” to gamification sites currently means “mimic MMOG mechanics”, but that has yet room to develop and change over time.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
You’re right, it’s going to evolve a lot over time. What you see now is a very early iteration. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, I hope you’ll check out our Gamification Encyclopedia as well at http://gamification.org .
Thanks. :)
