JULIAN BAUER
How can game mechanics help encourage teamwork and positive behaviour among strangers in team-based multiplayer games? This thesis aims to research how game mechanics can influence collaboration among players in online multiplayer games and what obstacles get in the way of cooperation. Argumentation and conclusion will be based on research in the field of psychology, analysis of existing games, and an evaluation of a survey about the most popular team-based multiplayer games.
