Omg, I'm glad that did make such an impact on you! I'm glad to hear how well-received was my talk. And i think most of us have the same laptop posture 90% of the time :)

But the closer publication that came to my mind that could be useful to you is โ€œWhatever the Emotional Experience, Itโ€™s Up to Themโ€: Insights from Designers of Emotionally Impactful Games" 2021 - By Denisova and all. I hope this is helpful :)

Hi Courtney, yes, I do have a paper on emotional inaccessibility that has been recently accepted, but is not exactly what you look at. I'm working on writing the two studies presented -which games are emotional and which aspects.

I'm excited to be a speaker at @developconference.com with my talk on Player Emotional Design!

I will discuss from the design aspects that make experiences unforgettable to the mistakes that can transform the experience into an undesirable one.
