| - | ====== Information awareness====== | ||
| - | The pattern refers whether and how much information will be concealed from or revealed to the players by the game. | ||
| - | |||
| - | In multiplayer games **information awareness** can regulate the [[en:patterns:balance_cooperation_and_competition|balance of cooperation and competition]] between players. | ||
| - | |||
| - | In a **location-based mobile game** there exists the possibility to acquire information just by [[en:patterns:proximity]]. One can watch or listen to other players who are in the [[en:patterns:common_space|same space]]. Information might be accidentally disclosed simply by being near enough to hear a control sound from another player's [[en:patterns:equipment|device]]. The same could happen on purpose as part of a [[en:patterns:bluff|bluff]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Players can use their [[en:patterns:equipment|game related smartphones]] or their personal phones to coordinate and exchange information, extending or overriding channels of information offered by the game. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Information might concern the actions of players, their current status (e.g. [[en:patterns:score|score]]), their position in the physical space etc. In the last example information might be regulated by the application of the [[en:patterns:fog_of_war|fog of war]] pattern. | ||
