Bogtactics: Enhancing Environmental Awareness Through Serious Gaming
summary
Bogtactics is a strategy serious game that uses generative AI to create educational content about peatlands and forces players to manage resources, population and environmental events. Development includes three expert interviews, three paper prototypes and seven digital prototypes, followed by 10 playtests; initial playtest data reports promising user experience and meaningful learning through choices. A student-built prototype demonstrates concrete mechanics (forest creation, garbage management, heating tradeoffs) and shows players can fail as a learning signal.
