Virtual environments have numerous potentials for assisting the general public in experiencing cultural heritage, complementing current tools and practices centered on tangible goods such as museums, exhibitions, books, and visual content. Video games designed for educational purposes, which are becoming increasingly popular, have emerged as a new method of learning cultural content engagingly. The learning experience's specific goal distinguishes the educational use of video games. There is little doubt that we can learn from video games, but the more difficult questions about who, what, where, why, and how quickly we learn are not easily answered. This study examines the role of commercial video games in history learning and aims to enhance their effectiveness by analyzing their potential and limitations, using strategic planning and network analysis models. Through a case study on the Lotf Ali Khan game, it identifies strategies for improving history education through commercial video games. In this case study, it can be utilized to establish a conceptual framework for current trends in deployments of the past in historically focused video games, as well as a SWOT-ANP analysis to determine the major ways in which historical video games can aid in learning the subject matter under assessment. The data for this case study includes secondary sources and documents, fieldwork, observations, and semi-structured interviews with fifteen participants, as with other case studies (experts and children). Following the results, successful implementation occurs when a video game fully utilizes the following opportunities: antiquarian, monumental, and critical elements; wish story; composite imagination; borrowed authenticity; historical provenance; and legitimacy
虚拟环境在帮助公众体验文化遗产方面具有巨大潜力，可以补充以博物馆、展览、书籍和视觉内容等有形物品为中心的现有工具和实践。为教育目的而设计的电子游戏越来越受欢迎，已经成为一种引人入胜的学习文化内容的新方法。学习体验的特定目标区分了电子游戏的教育用途。毫无疑问，我们可以从电子游戏中学习，但更困难的问题是，谁，什么，在哪里，为什么，以及我们学习的速度有多快，这些问题都不容易回答。本研究考察了商业电子游戏在历史学习中的作用，并利用战略规划和网络分析模型，通过分析其潜力和局限性，旨在提高其有效性。通过对Lotf Ali Khan游戏的案例研究，本文确定了通过商业视频游戏改善历史教育的策略。在这个案例研究中，它可以用来建立一个概念性框架，以了解历史电子游戏在过去的部署趋势，以及SWOT-ANP分析，以确定历史电子游戏可以帮助学习评估主题的主要方式。本案例研究的数据包括二手资料和文件、实地考察、观察和对15名参与者的半结构化访谈，以及其他案例研究(专家和儿童)。根据结果，当电子游戏充分利用以下机会时，便会出现成功的执行:古董，纪念性和关键元素;希望故事;组合的想象力;借来的真实性;历史起源;和合法性

Educational games are digital products resulting from the application of game-based learning concepts. The main factors forming educational games include combining a learning subject with challenging elements and engaging visualization. Most educational games translate the challenge component of the game in the form of multiple choice quizzes, questions, answers, or puzzle solving. This result causes the mechanical structure of educational games less interesting than the mechanics of entertainment games. This paper proposes a scenario development model for educational games derived from the game goal typology commonly found in entertainment games. This model is expected to be a reference for developing educational game scenarios that can enrich the types of mechanics and increase the engagement of an educational game. The proposed model in the research has been tested on two educational games, both of which received high attractiveness scores of 1.632 and 1.542 respectively on the User Experience Question (UEQ) scale.

Learning chemistry at the beginning of senior high school is difficult because there is too much information that should be remembered, especially the periodic table. To reduce the difficulty of students’ learning processes, gamification could be helpful. In this study, gamification applications in the form of a visual novel have been developed and focused on the periodic table material for 1st-year senior high school students. The motivation improvement had been measured using the IMMS (Instructional Materials Motivation Survey) questionnaire in the pre-test and post-test sections. Respondents filled out the pre-test at the beginning of the experiment, followed by a visual novel playing session for one week. After the playing session ended, the respondent filled out the post-test. The motivation score from the pre-test and the post-test result had been compared using a paired T-test to see whether there was an improvement in learning motivation. It could be concluded that improvement in learning motivation happened due to the usage of visual novels, with an overall motivation score improvement of around 18.61%. In the future, this study will be continued by applying user personalization according to learning style preferences.

In this article we analyzed digital games as a mode of memory production and preservation especially in the genre of World War II games. Using a Japanese-produced PS3 game, Valkyria Chronicles (2008), we demonstrated the ideological aspects of this type of games in (re)shaping the memory of the World War II through what we called “allegorithmic memory” process. Borrowing from Alexander R. Galloway’s conception of “allegorithm,” we argued that the combination of narrative allegory and gameplay algorithm in Valkyria Chronicles has produced a “cute” perspective on the memory of World War II that is closely tied to the historical role of Japan during the War. Set in an alternate 1930s Europe, the game combined the collective memory of Holocaust with an atypical representation of World War II in its allegorithmic structure. We argued that this combination has produced a double screen memory that attempted to invite a shared affection in dealing with Japanese traumatic memory of World War II. In conclusion, our article demonstrated the capacity of digital games as a culturally-specific site of memory production and preservation offering a complex combination of recycled and new perspective of World War II.
在本文中，我们分析了数字游戏作为一种记忆生成和保存模式，特别是在二战题材的游戏中。以日本制作的PS3游戏《女武神编年史》(2008)为例，我们展示了这类游戏的意识形态方面，即通过我们所谓的“算法记忆”过程重新塑造第二次世界大战的记忆。借用Alexander R. Galloway的“算法”概念，我们认为《Valkyria Chronicles》将叙事寓言和玩法算法结合在一起，创造了关于第二次世界大战记忆的“可爱”视角，这与战争期间日本的历史角色密切相关。这款游戏以20世纪30年代的欧洲为背景，结合了大屠杀的集体记忆和非典型的第二次世界大战的算法结构。我们认为，这种结合产生了一种双屏幕记忆，试图在处理日本二战创伤记忆时唤起一种共同的情感。总而言之，我们的文章展示了数字游戏作为一种特定文化的记忆生产和保存场所的能力，提供了对二战的循环和新视角的复杂结合。

During the pandemic, most students are having difficulties interacting with one another. Despite being under quarantine for more than two years due to the global pandemic, remote learning has not been an efficient way to continue education. Most of them are struggling with specific subjects during online classes. Furthermore, students have trouble in all their classes, and Physics is the most difficult subject, according to news reports and statistics on education. The results of all the studies and interviews with the qualitative respondents indicate that educational games might improve students' academic performance. As a result, puzzle-game physics was developed to help students.

This research purpose aims to demonstrate the individuation process of Alan Wake through the archetypes by finishing the last page of “Departure” manuscript. The research uses interpretative qualitative method in extending the findings. Using interpretation analysis can depict phenomenon of video game from the act, figures, sources (game items; weapons, flashlight, manuscript, etc.), situation, by applying Carl Gustav Jung’s psychoanalytic theory of archetype and individuation process in the video game. In the video game story, Alan Wake is a writer who had had a writer’s block for 2 years and experiences a nightmare. The nightmare happens when Alice Wake has lost at the Cauldron Lake. To find Alice, Alan follow the journey from his nightmare, suddenly discovers something powerful to create and change things influenced by two mythical figures, namely Thomas Zane and Barbara Jagger. Both figures come into Alan’s nightmare following the unwritten manuscript “Departure” plot story, whose Alan is guided to contain several figures to overcome darkness figures and integrate light and darkness to be actualized. The findings show that archetype depictions are associated by mythological images reflected from the collective unconscious in Alan Wake. The forms such as Barbara Jagger, Thomas Zane, Taken, Alan as The Hero, and the Bird Leg cabin are the projected images that Alan created in his dream. Alan starts his nightmare journey, experiences all the archetypes contributed, and realizes how to end the “Departure” manuscript as Alan’s individuation process. In conclusion, Alan Wake's unconscious journey by ending at the point of self-realization and writing the "Departure" script is considered as an individuation process.

Movies and animations widely liked usually have good character designs. The audience often encounters elevating historical figures as one of the characters in the designed media, so it is necessary to understand what things need to be present when visualizing these characters. Hijikata Toshizo in history is a famous samurai in Japan and is a historical figure and often appointed in entertainment media such as animation, games, and comics, so Hijikata Toshizo is very popular among lovers of Japanese culture and history. The visual changes from the Hijikata Toshizo character in Japanese history to the Hijikata Toshizo character in Fate/Grand Order are analyzed so that it can be an additional reference for designers when designing characters based on historical figures. After the related data was collected, the data was later analyzed with the Manga-matrix method introduced by Hiroyoshi Tsukamoto to analyze the character design's shape, costume, and personality. According to the results of the analysis, there are similarities and variances in the character of the Hijikata Toshizo game and its historical counterpart. Each element was brought about through the use of historical evidence and the designer's creativity.

A game is a form of entertainment determined by a rule and conflict resolution by the player. A good game can display attractive visuals, make the player get engaged, and feel the needed pleasure. Visual is a medium that only concerns the sense of sight while the other senses like the sense of hearing (sound) cannot be included in the visual use Visual in a game is a part of the user interfaces. The user interface is a medium between a system and the user. The Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia has released various free website-based edugames that can be accessed and played by Indonesia especially elementary school students. Mamat Adventure is one of the edugames provided by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. This theoretical exploration has begun with a discussion about the visual appearance related to the user interface in the edugame of Mamat Adventure.

This paper is about a theoretical study consisting in listing and positioning different kinds of serious uses derived or inspired by play or games. Indeed, since the beginning of the 2000s, the number of these forms has increased exponentially and it is becoming very complicated to find one's way through. In our opinion, there is currently a problem of distinction between the various serious forms derived or inspired by the practice of a playing activity and the design of a game structure. In this article, we try to bring a beginning of answer to this problem. To do this, we began by exploring the scientific literature dealing with these different forms. We started with the reference works that we reconsidered from this large variety of forms. Subsequently, we explored possible categorizations based on a limited number of variables. We were then able to draw two diagrams: one to represent graphically the categories identified according to the chosen variables, and another to present 6 combinable design process that can be followed to create any of these serious game or play categories.

This discussion relates to the ability of pixel styles to survive even though the design styles of the current digital art era are developing with diverse thoughts. Pixels are the basic elements of design that are capable of producing attractive design work. Looking at the current development of pixel styles, in the midst of the proliferation of 3D-based visual works, we can find that pixel styles still have an irreplaceable influence. Pixel-based designs are still being put into practice and applied in the form of games by more designers and artists
