Dwarf Fortress research questionnaire
« on: March 25, 2013, 06:12:53 pm »
Hi guys!
I'm conducting some research into Dwarf Fortress and other management games in terms of the story they may or may not produce.
This is for my Master's degree. To help with this I've put together this short questionnaire.
It would be awesome if you could  fill it out and get as many others to do the same:

Thanks a lot!

All my datums are belong to you.

It's interesting that the idea of emergent gameplay is going to be addressed academically.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

Emergent game play has been looked at academically before a number of times actually. I'm looking more at emergent narrative but emergent game play has its influence in there (an emergent game play practice could be to produce a story!)

Thank you for all your data folks! Keep it coming, mmm tasty data...

I haven't checked since I'm not doing bugs until after the release (well, I'm doing bugs, in the additive sense).

Filled in, but isn't it a bit of a skewed sampling like this? Well, you probably know what you're doing, it's probably alright for this particular bit of research, whatever it is. Anyway, more data for you, and I also shared it on Facebook in hopes of getting more people to throw in some more.
