Abstract:
"In the scope of adaptive design, this project takes a look at the possibilities of adaptive visuals in video games. While visual adaptability is known and has been employed in older games, it is seldomly used as a design tool nowadays – although it can be utilized with great success as recently seen in Undertale. While discussing bordering topics that feed into adaptability such as emergent gameplay and experience economy, the possible benefits of adaptive visuals will be addressed – benefits ranging from increased player satisfaction and engagement to accessibility and increased potential players – helping future implementation in the industry." -- Abstract
