Development of a Game for High School Students on Politics

Youngsters who start the right of voting need to know the work exerted by their representatives, particularly by those who administrate their daily lives, such as the city councilors and the mayor. The goal of this study is to develop a game aimed at High School students that deals with politics, particularly the positions of mayor and city councilor involving corruption. Tools such as engine, Ren'py, Python, JEdit, Befunky, Photoscape have been used. The instructional design has been used in the development to identify the problem, define the goals, develop educational material and employ them. The game was conceived based on the genre Visual Novel, in which the character makes choices that will play a role in the end of the match. As a result, situations of political life are presented. It is intended to apply this game in High Schools.
