Visualization in games: How is health and health-changes visualized in games? : An analysis of game graphics in current games

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 cod...
