Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the research framework of complexity in simulation gaming. The complexity of a simulation game has three dimensions: game systematic complexity, game social complexity, and complex dynamics of gameplay. The author presents two perspectives on the complexity of a simulation game. The first perspective is a designer perspective and game-scoring model proposed by the author to solve the internal model dilemma of interdependence. The second perspective is the player’s perspective and, in this paper, the research model and procedure are described for discussion.
