| Because of its small size,easy operation,and fun,the mini-games have won many players’ welcome and respect.Small games equipped with social functions began to build a long-term development framework in the game,that is,the new medium of "mini games+social" small game APP,which provides players with a new social space.Therefore,it is necessary for us to start a discussion from its social scenes and study what value players generate in the social scenes of the small game APP.This article mainly integrates questionnaire surveys,user interviews and other methods combined with their own experience in the platform,using Randall Collins’interactive ceremony chain to provide a theoretical framework for studying social scenarios in small game apps.The mini-game APP is a world full of entertainment.In order to retain players,the platform has built many social scenes:in the game scene,players interact by sending emoticons,opening wheat,game competition and cooperation;players are chatting outside the game Communicate in social scenarios such as room voice,square sending dynamics,random matching of friends.The interaction of the players in the mini-game app is in line with the four elements of the interactive ritual chain proposed by Randall Collins,namely the virtual body coexistence,the exclusion of outsiders,the sharing of common concerns and emotional states.Players enter the platform to socialize mainly to obtain information and fill in real emotions.The content presented on the platform is their starting point for communication.It is a gradual cultivation process for players to enter the platform to find a confidant:players gather together in a virtual small game platform,realize the focus on common content through games and chat interaction,and interact with each other through long-term different ways A common symbol is formed,and this emotional energy is transformed into the power of the interactive ritual again,which in turn prompts the player’s behavior to satisfy the interactive ritual chain theory.The results of the study show that the player’s social scene interaction in the mini-game app meets the conditions for the formation of the interactive ritual,and the player has generated a certain value through the interactive ritual chain in the social scene.This cycle of interactive rituals gives players the opportunity to reconstruct their self-image,and reconstruct an image that is different from reality through the game’s record and shaping the platform image;games and exchanges allow players to enhance their emotional energy savings and allow them to find like-minded friends;Players of different regions and ages gathered in the platform across geographic and spatial constraints,and enhanced their weak relationships in reality through different interaction methods.The emotional release of players with different social demographic attributes is satisfied on the platform,making the small game APP a new venue for players to socialize.The research in this article is to explore the value that players have gained in the social context of small game APPs at the theoretical and technical levels,but we also have to return to the original thinking from a humanistic perspective.Although the virtual game world is tempting for players,here is just Provide a short leisure place,players will eventually return to real social life,to interact and experience in real scenes,so the small game APP platform must adhere to the correct values to guide players to cultivate a perfect personality. |
