A game motivation profile outlines a player’s motivations for engaging in a game. It helps designers understand the needs and desires of their target audience to create games that are engaging and rewarding. Models like Bartle’s Taxonomy and the Player Experience Design Framework categorize players based on their motivations, while tools like the Game Motivation Questionnaire measure the intensity of these motivations. Understanding these profiles allows designers to segment players and tailor game features and content to specific motivational needs, enhancing player retention and engagement.
