“…También se hizo una revisión documental de investigaciones sobre metodologías orientadas al diseño y desarrollo de videojuegos. Se consultó, sobre todo, estudios que recopilaran y compararan metodologías, y se encontraron tres: [20], [21] y [22]. Estas metodologías fueron la base para la creación o mejora de la metodología Árcade; la cual, una vez elaborada se probó en el curso electivo.…”

This paper describes a methodological proposal for the design and development of videogames, which can be used by students with skills in computer programming; although they do not have outstanding artistic abilities. For its elaboration, three comparative studies on videogame development methodologies were taken as a basis. The methodology developed was applied in an elective course in systems engineering at an institution of higher education, during four semester academic periods since 2016. A total of 87 students passed through the course and resulted in the development of 48 video games. This methodology was specially designed so that it could be used in engineering courses in which the development of an acceptable video game in its first version is expected or, at least, with the quality of software running with the essential functions. In such a way that the methodology allows the design and development of video games in a short time, taking into account limited budgets and resources, and using a minimum number of developers, no more than two and specifically programmers.

Software Engineering Frameworks Used for Serious Games Development in Physical Rehabilitation: Systematic Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Serious games are a support in the rehabilitation process for treating people with physical disabilities. However, many of these serious games are not adapted to the patient’s needs because they are not developed with a software engineering framework with a set of activities, actions, and tasks that must be executed when creating a software product. Better serious games for rehabilitation will be developed if the patient and therapist requirements are identified, the development is planned, and system improvements and feedback are involved. The goal is that the serious game must offer a more attractive environment, while maintaining patient interest in the rehabilitation process. Objective This paper submits the results of a systematic review of serious games in physical rehabilitation identifying the benefits of using a software engineering framework. Methods A systematic research was conducted using PubMed, PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database), IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, ACM Digital Library, Mary Ann Liebert, Taylor & Francis Online, Wiley Online Library, and Springer databases. The initial search resulted in 701 papers. After assessing the results according to the inclusion criteria, 83 papers were selected for this study. Results From the 83 papers reviewed, 8 used a software engineering framework for its development. Most of them focused their efforts on 1 or more aspects, such as data acquisition and processing, game levels, motivation, therapist supervision. Conclusions This systematic review proves that most of the serious games do not use a software engineering framework for their development. As a result, development systems overlook several aspects and do not have a standardized process, eventually omitting important implementation aspects, which impact the patient’s recovery time.

“…We use the Unity game engine to build TSG and use tourism destinations in the Mojokerto area of East Java, Indonesia, as trial content. Unity is one of the most popular game engines and strongly supports 3D game visualizations with three programming language options: C #, UnityScript, and Boo [20] [21].…”

An Automatic Scenario Control in Serious Game to Visualize Tourism Destinations Recommendation

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the field of tourism, serious games are a pedagogical media application that helps players develop travel knowledge and expertise based on game content. A tourism serious game requires a scenario control system to visualize an attractive travel scenario. This paper proposes an Automatic Scenario Control in the serious game to visualize travel recommendation scenarios choice according to the player's expectations of potential tourism destinations criteria. There are two stages in system development, namely scenario design and scenario selection. In the scenario design stage, we use the Hierarchical Finite State Machine to translate challenge-based stories according to the type of attraction. While at the scenario selection stage, Dynamic Weight Topsis is a method for selecting one of the player's recommended scenarios. This study uses tourism destinations recommendations as to alternative variables, characteristics of tourism destinations as criteria, and players' expectations of tourism destinations' characteristics as weight criteria. In the implementation phase, the tourism serious game uses the content of tourism destinations in Mojokerto Indonesia. The test results show that Automatic Scenario Control generates a preference value for each alternative as a reference for choosing tourism destination scenarios for the player. Three things affect the scenario choice results, including the choice of month of tourist visits, player expectations of tourist destinations, and alternative input from the recommender system.
