“…It is essential to understand that the purpose of the visual representation in the TFG application is to aid in the planning process and provide a visual understanding of battlefield dynamics. TFG application is not a serious game, so the focus of the war simulation is to visually represent the form of warfare rather than calculating the outcome of who wins or loses [18][19] [20]. TFG activity results will serve as initial data that followed into the Wargame Simulator engine, which is beyond the scope of this discussion.…”

Tactical Floor Game (TFG) is an activity to simulate tactics and test the concept of battle operation plans. The main focus in TFG activity is aligning planning logic with field execution estimates using storytelling, mainly through role-playing in a replica of the combat situation. TFG activity is usually done manually by laying out a paper map on the floor and pairing miniatures representing units in operation. In the digital version, TFG activity is typically presented in the form of short film segments representing a stage of combat preparation or by utilizing simple PowerPoint-based animations. The use of such multimedia is considered less representative and may not provide a realistic visualization in the context of battle simulations. This research aims to address the issue of creating realistic visualization and dynamic simulation in combat planning by developing an interactive multimedia application. The contribution to the field of knowledge in this research is focused on the application of the Three-Act Structure, a storytelling framework commonly used in films, into the process of developing multimedia applications. The test results indicate that an interactive multimedia application developed specifically for TFG activities can serve as a comprehensive visualization tool for testing the concept of battle operation plans.

Serious games are defined as applied games that focus on the gamification of an experience (e.g., learning and training activities) and are not strictly for entertainment purposes. In recent years, serious games have become increasingly popular due to their ability to simultaneously educate and entertain users. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the different types of digital games and expand on the serious games genre while focusing on its various applications. Furthermore, we present the most widely used game engines used in the game development industry and extend the Unity game machine advantages. Lastly, we conclude our research with a detailed comparison of the two most popular choices (Unreal and Unity engines) and their respective advantages and disadvantages while providing future suggestions for serious digital game development.

“…As an undergraduate, I found these games to be an enormously useful learning experience in leadership, geopolitics, and 'lived' country-specific concerns presented in a novel and engaging format. Looking at the PAXsims blog and what my colleagues down the hall in the Security Studies and Criminology department at Macquarie University are doing-the tradition of geopolitical simulations qua wargames, these 'Serious Games,' remain an effective teaching and research tool (Mayer, 2009;Smith & Johnson, 2020;Djaouti et al, 2011;Lim & Jung, 2013).…”

Students, Participatory Design, and Serious Games in a Response to: ‘No Algorithmization without Representation: Pilot Study on Regulatory Experiments in an Exploratory Sandbox’

No Algorithmization without Representation tracked a cohort of ‘Lithopy’ crypto-government sandbox participants in a longitudinal study looking at COVID-19 contact tracing app acceptance. These survey responses extended experiences with theoretical blockchain town governance by also tracking reasons for and against compliance with contact tracing apps. They found that the expressed opinions of students were incoherent and demanded technical or policy responses outside of the students’ direct experiences. In this response to that paper, I leverage the paper’s (commendable) open data to suggest that the sandbox’s claims of ‘No Algorithmization without Representation’ is a rediscovery of participatory design within the context of the serious games movement. While Role-Playing Games and War Games are excellent pedagogic tools xor planning tools—using undergraduate students’ participation in them as the basis of a claim for increased representation in technology policy is a bold claim. This claim is not fully substantiated by the paper’s data. Nevertheless, there is a need for better decision-making and public representation within technology design and policy-making spaces—making the claim for serious games as a meaningful public policy contribution not without merit.
