Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explore potential associations between development teams and the characteristics of the games they produce. Through a production study of Danish game companies and a design analysis of their games, we propose that there are statistically significant associations between features of the game and the team that produced them. The game features that we selected for this analysis refer to the game structure, the relations between players, the tone, and controls, whereas the team composition consists of the demographics of game professionals and approaches to concept generation.
