Abstract
Description
This study focus on the design and development of a serious game titled Disaster Wise. The game aims to enhance disaster preparedness and awareness while promoting engagement and knowledge retention. It addresses the need for an engaging and educational tool to help users, especially younger individuals, understand disaster preparedness through interactive gameplay. The game was developed using Unity and incorporates core gameplay mechanics such as a turn-based system, card system, and action system. The development process followed Agile practices to create the game prototype. Educational content was integrated through card descriptions, in-game scenarios, and background visuals to support learning outcomes. Testing was conducted through functional testing, responsive UI testing, and user evaluation using a survey form. Feedback from 10 testers indicated above-average satisfaction, with positive responses regarding usability, gameplay experience, and educational value. While the prototype successfully met its core objectives, some limitations were identified, such as limited device responsiveness and content variety, which can be addressed in future improvements. Overall, the project demonstrates the effectiveness of serious games in delivering educational content and providing engaging user experiences.
