Serious game prototype for raising awareness on climate change

Ispravno gospodarenje otpadom jedan je od najučinkovitijih načina na koji ljudi mogu pomoći u sprečavanju klimatskih promjena. Informacije o gospodarenju otpadom dolaze iz različitih izvora i često su međusobno kontradiktorne. S ciljem osvješćivanja javnosti o ispravnom načinu gospodarenja otpadom na području Republike Hrvatske razvijena je ozbiljna edukativna računalna igra Eko Zeko. Igra je razvijena po načelima univerzalnog dizajna te je implementirana u razvojnom okruženju Unity. Testirana je te su u radu dokumentirani prijedlozi za poboljšanje. Proper waste management is one of the most effective ways people can help prevent climate change. Information on waste management comes from various sources and is often contradictory. In order to raise public awareness on the procedures regarding proper waste management in the Republic of Croatia, a serious educational computer game Eko Zeko has been developed. The game was developed following the principles of universal design and has been implemented using the Unity game engine. It was tested and suggestions for improvement are documented in the paper.
