Academic Project Prom Week Points to Problems With Truly Social Social Games

Last Friday at the Inventing the Future of Games symposium hosted by the University of California at Santa Cruz’s Center for Games and Playable Media, students showcased Prom Week, a social simulation game built for Facebook. The game presents some interesting challenges for games that go for deep social integration with Facebook’s social network features.

Prom Week is an experiment in artificial intelligence-based design that builds on the complex network of social interactions between humans confined to the same social group.
