Video games employ two basic motivations to keep players engaged. These are termed Extrinsic motivation and Intrinsic motivation. Games based on, or balanced in favour of, Intrinsic motivation keep you engaged because playing the game is a lot of fun. The entertainment value you get from the game is enough reward in itself. Extrinsic games are designed around the drive to earn lootboxes. Extrinsic games are intentionally designed to be addictive. They specifically exploit the human brain’s tendency toward gambling addiction. This is why people who play extrinsic games tend to suffer higher rates of depression than people who play Intrinsic games. With Extrinsic games there's always a feeling of withdrawal as soon as the players can’t play the game. Now, I want you to consider how much things would change if we, the players, all ignored the Extrinsic motivations that arise when we play the game of life and focused a bit more on the Intrinsic experience...

Exhausted from another fourteen-hour shift, Yonani Khan sat back in her favourite armchair with a sigh. She only meant to rest her eyes for a moment, but she slipped into a deep, coma-like sleep straight away.

Yona rarely recalled her dreams. She joked, that there wasn’t anything worth remembering about them. This one, however, was different. She was walking along an inexplicably familiar hallway lit by piercing cyan. As much as it felt like home, she had no memory of the place and that startled her a little.

A large glass bubble enclosed her head and the air pumping into it was sweet. The scented freshness reminded her of the pristine mountain ranges that stand at the edge of the known world. Yona frowned.

How could that be? She’d never actually been anywhere near the southern continent. She’d never been out of the city. Her head was buzzing with questions. A little stab of anxiety fluttered her heartbeat. Somehow, she suppressed her confusion and determined to walk on without distraction. An instinct told her, that she could not afford to be late.

That first sleep-vision was the most straightforward one. After that her dreams got really, really interesting.

Loving this style right now.
