Videojuego 3D del género plataformas educativo para promover el conocimiento de la biodiversidad de la naturaleza ecuatoriana

Abstract

The project aimed to develop a 3D platformer video game that combines fun and education, focused on promoting knowledge of the Ecuadorian Amazon’s biodiversity. Through a virtual representation, players can explore the Amazon ecosystem, identify native flora, and learn about its ecological value while enjoying the experience. The narrative seeks to spark curiosity, motivating players to discover the story of the character and the surrounding environment, while also integrating Ecuadorian cultural elements into the visual design to provide authenticity and cultural richness. The development followed the Lean UX methodology, taking advantage of its iterative cycles to evaluate progress and continuously improve. Likert scale surveys were applied to measure user perception, thereby validating the project’s educational and recreational purpose.
