The Lens of Friendship

People love to play games with friends. To make sure your game has the right qualities to let people make and keep friendships, ask yourself these questions:

  • What kind of friendships are my players looking for?
  • How do my players break the ice?
  • Do my players have enough chance to talk to each other? Do they have enough to talk about?
  • When is the moment they become friends?
  • What tools do I give the players to maintain their friendships?
