Software de criação de histórias para o jogo "Os aventureiros da Vila Belga"

Abstract

Considering the Cultural Identity Appropriation Project of the Historic District of Santa Maria through a Hybrid Boardgame, a role-playing game (RPG) has been created to be introduced in schools in the region. The game presents an investigative storyline in which players unravel a mystery while learning about the city’s main cultural and historical landmarks. The project’s goal was to create a platform that facilitates the creation of RPG books based on the existing game’s mechanics, board, characters, and other resources, allowing teachers to create their own stories. The development was carried out using the Simple Interaction Design Lifecycle proposed by Preece, Rodgers, and Sharp (2013), involving stages of identifying user requirements and needs, conceptual and physical design, developing an interactive solution, and evaluation. For the evaluation, a System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire proposed by Brooke (1996) was used. As a result of the work, it is highlighted that it was possible to create new stories through the platform, with usability being approved according to the evaluation criteria based on the SUS.
