Abstract

Computer and videogames are rapidly entering the field of Technology-Enhanced Learning. Among the different approaches and game genres, adventure games have been pointed out as one of the most appropriate choices for education. Enthusiast instructors are looking for tools to develop their own educational games, but there are few tools for the rapid creation of modern adventure games with no programming background, and even fewer have been designed with educational gaming in mind. In this paper we present the platform, a complete environment for the creation and execution of 3D low-cost adventure games in educational contexts.
