How can we as game designers more effectively create connections between our players and our games t

The way us game designers can create more effective connections between our player and our games is through interactions with character and tokens, a way to forge these connections between the players and our game is through many ways such as the story, character, decisions and items, these are just some of the ways in which we can create emotion and connection between the player and the game itself.

Story is on of the main ways in which we can evoke emotions and create a connection between the player and the game, with a good story and a call to adventure to save a princess restore a home land and defeat the emending evil threatening the world, by using an interesting and drawing story we can make the player feel connected to the characters story and all the struggles his/she faced and all the tough decisions that will affect them and there companions and friends and how you might lose or gain more power and how that you can stop or become the enemy you are trying to destroy.

The attitude of the character and seeing them develop and how the story changes their behaviour and attitude towards the other characters and creating stronger relationships with them and getting rewarded with bonus stuff such as materials, boosts and extra dialogue which will help the player on their journey.

Items that can have descriptions about the events before the characters time can give insight to events occurring now and provide hidden clues, also having certain items be of personal value to the character or his companions to create more deepened friendships will help the player in events to come.
