THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
 Online Game Interactivity Theory is written to address the various design

and interactivity issues involved in multiplayer games, and begins by defining

interactivity on three different levels; player to player, player to game, and player

to computer. By under-standing these different types of interactivity, developers

can identify the factors that affect each, and learn which techniques and methods

to use in their own game designs.

These factors also provide a basis for continuous evaluation during the

development process, and can be used to critique online game design in general.

Online Game Interactivity Theory is a must-have reference for any game

developer needing to make their online games completely interactive.

Interactivity is one of the key elements that truly distinguish a game.

Designing effective, interactivity, however, can be a challenge for even the most

experienced game developer. This is especially true in the design process of

multiplayer online games, so it is critical that developers have a solid

understanding of game design and interactivity.
