Demo de un videojuego educativo como aporte a la difusión de medidas preventivas para inundaciones y deslaves.

Abstract

For this thesis project, the research investigated the risks posed by climate change and natural disasters, particularly floods and landslides, to Ecuador. Based on these findings, the mechanics of the demo were designed, focusing on general prevention measures applicable to these catastrophes. Unit 1 focuses on identifying the risks associated with the lack of knowledge about prevention measures, the most common disasters in Ecuador, the balance the demo should maintain between gameplay and learning, and the most suitable platform to maximize the demo's exposure. Meanwhile, Unit 2 details the demo development process, including the selection of the game engine, the design tools used for creating the interface, cinematics, and items, as well as screenshots that illustrate the programming of the demo’s mechanics, the editing of cinematics, and the design of 3D models.
