Desarrollo de un videojuego 2D para la enseñanza de la cultura y mitología Inca ecuatoriana

Abstract

Abstract In the world there have been a large number of civilizations that have shaped society, among them is the Inca culture, which has inherited customs and traditions that have been transmitted from generation to generation through myths and legends. Thanks to video games you can create true masterpieces that not only entertain the viewer but also give them a message, a teaching that will help them better understand a subject, in this case a civilization that existed a long time ago and that had a great impact in the development of Latin American and Ecuadorian society. At the national level the development of video games is a not very explored field and therefore the educational potential they have is not taken seriously, there have been several attempts at development but they have only been relegated to small university projects and independent work. This video game was developed in Unity3D with the C Sarch programming language, and the GIMP program was used for the design. The agile methodology known as DAV proposed by Gabriel Armendáriz, student of the Computer Science faculty of ESPOCH (Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo) was used. The results obtained after the publication of the video game on the Gamejolt platform were favorable due to the number of views and downloads made by users despite being an independent game with a background educational theme.
