EcoSea. Joc 2D de plataformes sobre ecologia marina: crea el teu propi nivell

Abstract

[en] People assimilate the most when they interact with what they are learning, that’s why this Final Degree Project aims to design a game where grown up kids can learn and become aware about marine ecology, the ways in which humans harm it and some small-scale measures that they can take themselves, as well as other medium and large-scale measures that should be taken in general. We will try to teach and entertain at the same time, so the game will be a 2D platformer mixed with dialogues that may or may not require player interaction, as well as quests of different types. The game will try and adapt to every player, since some of them find comfort in helping others, getting high scores or freely creating, among many others. This project will be shared with another student, Manuel Ernesto Martínez Martín, who will design all the game basis. I will be focusing on the game design and on designing a ’sandbox’ or ’do it yourself’ mode that will allow teachers and even students to freely create their own level that follows the base game rules. This will allow the game to go much further, since you will be able to create a level that perfectly fits your needs in case you find the base levels not complete enough. You could add something new, treat some aspects differently or even adapt it to a specific student or group of students.
