   ABSTRACT     = {Context: The video game industry is a billion dollar 
      industry that faces problems in the way games are developed. One 
      method to address these problems is using developer aid tools, such 
      as Recommendation Systems. These tools assist developers by 
      generating recommendations to help them perform their tasks. 
      Objective: This article describes a systematic approach to recommend 
      development processes for video game projects, using postmortem 
      knowledge extraction and a model of the context of the new project, 
      in which "postmortems" are articles written by video game developers 
      at the end of projects, summarizing the experience of their game 
      development team. This approach aims to provide reflections about 
      development processes used in the game industry as well as guidance 
      to developers to choose the most adequate process according to the 
      contexts they're in. Method: Our approach is divided in three 
      separate phases: in the first phase, we manually extracted the 
      processes from the postmortems analysis; in the second one, we 
      created a video game context and algorithm rules for recommendation; 
      and finally in the third phase, we evaluated the recommended 
      processes by using quantitative and qualitative metrics, game 
      developers feedback, and a case study by interviewing a video game 
      development team. Contributions: This article brings three main 
      contributions. The first describes a database of developers' 
      experiences extracted from postmortems in the form of development 
      processes. The second defines the main attributes that a video game 
      project contain, which it uses to define the contexts of the project. 
      The third describes and evaluates a recommendation system for video 
      game projects, which uses the contexts of the projects to identify 
      similar projects and suggest a set of activities in the form of a 
      process.}
