Videogames as a tool for energetic and environmental awareness: state of the art and possible strategies
Article No.: 13, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
This paper proposes itself to investigate the sustainable environmental and energetic development and, with the aid of game design strategies, search for effective ways to communicate this knowledge.
Trough game studies, the importance of the matters addressed in the text is revealed. It is investigated how the relation between the game itself and the player can generate positive actions in the real world.
There is variety of titles que propose themselves to approach sustainable energetic production, education, and environmental awareness available in the market today. Trough the analysis of said products I aim to better understand success and failures elements of the pieces.
