Towards Transforming Game Premise: Validating an Approach for Developing Cooperative Serious Games

The Transforming Game Premise guideline offers a systematic methodology for converting existing cooperative entertainment games into serious games.

• The Transforming Game Premise methodology enables developers to convert existing cooperative entertainment games into serious games by mapping learning objectives directly onto established mechanics.
• This framework reduces development costs and time for small-to-medium teams by re-contextualizing commercial game blueprints instead of building new architectures from scratch.
• Empirical validation confirms that this adaptation process leads to measurable improvements in both learning outcomes and memory retention for players.
