Hello everybody,

Sorry for the double post.

First, thank you for your useful feedbacks for my master thesis about Endless games.

I am really close to complete my work but I need further feedbacks to finish it.

Can you please help me by completing the surveys below?

There are no compulsory questions.

As explained in the previous post I am looking for all kind of player and developer profiles. And the surveys are of course confidential.

Here are the surveys (sorry for the external links):

For the developers (in French): https://goo.gl/forms/nEwmJjJOjy4tQm6r1

For the players (in English): https://goo.gl/forms/wvofoqgQqZKhDp3J3

If you prefer inbox or skype discussion, feel free to contact me via inbox.

Thank you again.

I will surely share my results here with you as soon as I will finish the study!

I totally agree Romeo! I think it reflects many assets of Amplitude Studios but also the Games2Gether community.

Thank you everybody for your participation and your really rich feedbacks! 

It will really help me out.

Not my thesis, but I wanted to say thank you to the developers for taking the time to help out. It reflects very well upon the studio, and yourselves.

Did it. Responded most of questions before in PM, so some of them are shorter answers.

Added my 2 cents.

Hi Romeo,

Thank you for your reply.

I've fix the questions. Same for the developer's survey.

Christ, I have writer's cramp, but I filled it all out to the best of my ability!

Also, page 2 has the same question posted three times at the end.

Hello everybody,

This is an unusual thread but it might interest some of you.

I am a french 4X regular player  and newcomer in Endless Space. 

I work on a master thesis in cocreation in video games.

I am looking for other Endless Space players and preferably contributors to the creation of Endless Space 1 or 2 games (voters and/or creators of contents or game design ideas) : I would like to have your feedbacks on your experience as co-creators or even players through Endless Space and Game

Gether.

Why you participated in the development of Endless Space games or why you didn’t?

Which kind of contribution/creation?

What were your relationship with other players and the game developers in Game

Gether?

Of course these information will be strictly confidential and will only be used for research and academic purposes.

If your are interested to discuss on your experience as players and as contributors, don’t hesistate to contact me via inbox or to post on this new thread.

Thank you!

To lo_fabre: 

This fits my criteria! 

I am looking for Endless Space players who are participating in Games2Gether (in the forum, by creating ideas, voting or participating in contests).

So this should be not only VIP players or DEVs but also less involved players. I want to compare these players / dev profiles in terms of motivation and engagement in Games2Gether and their interactions in the forum.

To olgiwolgibolgi:

I have some questions at the beginning of my interview to find the player profile. So if you fit to one of the profiles above, it will be okay.

If someone contact me via private message me I will post incrementally each question.

Hey DGM

how are going to find representative answers to your reserach questions? Do you intend to do a survey?

best

Click here, in the upper right corner.

Then click this purple rectangle that reads "SEND NEW MESSAGE"

I hope it helps

Hell didn't found the option to send a private.

If you want, you can send me an interview. I'm not dev o r VIP, just playing Amplitude games since Es1. In EA of EL and ES2, and played all 4 games. Not sure if this fits your inclusion criteria.

 I took the angle of the relationship between players and developers with 3 main questions:

- First explaining how co-creating with players can stimulate innovation and mobilize collective intelligence and knowledge.

- Second understanding the motivation of players to co-create games with developers.

- Third showing to what extend co-creation imply adjustments in the innovative and development process for the company (here Amplitude Studios), for developers and for players.

And Endless Space, through Games2Gether, may be a really relevant example of sucessful co-creation initiative.

This is why I need to have feedbacks from Endless Space (1 or 2) players and developers to answer these 3 questions:

To get your feedbacks, I should use semi-structured interview via inbox for volunteers.

I hope it will help you understand more my request!

That sounds like a very interesting subject for a thesis! Would you like to tell us a little more about the angle you've chosen for your research?
