Visualisering i spel: Hur är hälsa och hälsoförändringar visualiserade i spel? : En analys av spelgrafik i nuvarande spel (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

The following study investigates how recent games (2014 - 2018) visualize health and health changes, with a focus on the player character’s health, the player character taking damage and the graphical user interface (GUI). 50 games were coded via gameplay videos on YouTube and then analysed. The codes were then grouped together based on patterns and theoretical grounding. These groups were then examined with other studies and game design practices.
