PERANCANGAN DAN PEMBUATAN GAME EDUKATIF 2D “NUSANTARA HEROES: THE ADVENTURE” SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN INTERAKTIF BERBASIS UNITY ENGINE

Abstract

The history of national heroes played a significant role in education in Indonesia, as it reflected values such as bravery, sacrifice, and patriotism. However, the delivery of historical content was often unengaging for younger generations. Therefore, this study aimed to design and develop a 2D educational game using the Unity engine "Nusantara Heroes: The Adventure" as a more engaging and accessible interactive learning medium. The game featured national hero characters as protagonists, along with mini-games and quiz features to test players' understanding of historical facts and hero profiles. The design process included needs analysis, design, implementation, and testing stages. The game was developed using the Unity Engine, which supported appealing graphics and interactive gameplay. Testing was conducted using the black-box method and questionnaires were distributed to students as end users. The test results indicated that the game effectively enhanced interest in learning history through a fun and interactive approach.
