“…User/learner/trainee/player profiles are essential to a digital system's ability to hypothesize the human user's needs and desires and to adapt accordingly. This artificial intelligence perspective is discussed in some detail in the paper [52]. The authors confine themselves to a detailed discussion of syntactic implicitness.…”

“…The player may fly through the time tunnel backward and forward in time, the latter-for the time being-only within the limits of the history of gameplay that took place. For time travel prevention games as in [21,53], and for time travel exploratory games, a term coined recently in [52], journeys to the future are not yet considered. The selection of an object by clicking the button in the upper middle of the time tunnel brings the player backward in time to the related scene.…”

“…As shown in the light of Figure 1, self-determination shall overcome indetermination. Digital storyboarding as reported in [21,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][52][53][54] is the design technology to span story spaces [20] of potential experiences desirable from a didactic perspective.…”

“…To circumscribe this formal result very loosely, with the planning approach of [23] one can generate a considerably larger variety of plans than with other approaches. Carried over to storyboarding, with the approach inherited from [23] demonstrated in [21,[49][50][51][52][53][54], one can generate a particularly rich space of potential experiences varying from trainee to trainee and depending on dynamic conditions of gameplay.…”

Gamification is considered the systematic anticipation and design of affective experiences. It is not erroneously reduced to the usage of game-typical elements in another context. The human experiences in focus are varying forms of virtual time travel. In a time travel exploratory game, players return virtually to the past for gaining insights and, possibly, finding artifacts bring back to the present time. This works well for environmental education studying, by way of illustration, the worldwide ocean warming over several decades. Time travel prevention games go even further. Players who visit the past get an opportunity to impact their fate. This works well in application areas such as crime prevention and industrial accident prevention. Dynamic time travel prevention games are a recently developed game type in which the past changes dynamically to support the player’s chances of successfully completing the mission. The authors present original concepts and technologies and demonstrate running applications.

Serious games are increasingly popular in multiple fields, including education and environmental engagement. We conducted a systematic review to examine the reasons for this increasing popularity, the features of successful serious games and the current trend of serious games application in environmental education. Our systematic search revealed 56 records of papers (from years 2009 to 2023) on the use of serious games for environmental education. Thirty-five were published in the recent 5 years reflecting a growing interest in this area. The games were aimed at imparting knowledge (N = 28), changing attitude (N = 28) and changing behaviour (N = 19). Reasons for the increased application of serious games include the raising awareness on serious games and growing investment in serious games development and research, as well as better technological access through mobile devices. Successful serious games exhibit the following features: an immersive experience, meaningful engagement, a learn-by-doing involvement, simulation of real-world environmental problems, autonomy in game decisions and the presence of a guiding host. This review also revealed two categories of digital serious games: computer games (N = 14) and mobile apps (N = 11), and three categories of physical games: board games (N = 6), card game (N = 1) and role-playing games (N = 2). The gaps include (1) the lack of in-game experience data that limits our understanding of the impacts of commercial games, (2) variation in game experience and conservation experience among participants and how this translates to the impacts of serious games, and (3) lack of understanding of how the effects of serious games with high complexities on adults learning. Serious games are increasingly being digitised and moving towards location-based games, alternate reality, augmented reality and virtual reality. These games can facilitate interaction between learners and the natural environment, and in turn strengthen environmental awareness and appreciation.
