Abstract

Adolescents face a high risk of gaming disorder due to neurodevelopmental imbalances. Despite its increasing prevalence, awareness of this issue in video game development remains limited. Existing frameworks prioritize business-driven engagement over gamers well-being, lacking integration of psychological insights. To address this gap, we propose a multiperspective framework that incorporates psychological and developmental considerations into video game design. This framework aims to guide developers in creating engaging yet responsible games for adolescents, balancing entertainment with the need to mitigate gaming disorder risks. Currently under development, it is intended to evolve into a practical tool for game developers.
